When a menthol hit, hooks a spatial girl in her summer clothes
Like a transmission, on an empty channel, all lines are closed
Taking photographs, speaking slowly through the permanent waves
The taste in her mouth that she read about earlier today

This is happening for your pleasure, at your leisure
Use your evil
When you want

When a menthol hit, hooks a spatial girl in her summer clothes
Like a transmission, on an empty channel, all lines are closed
Taking photographs, speaking slowly through the permanent waves
The taste in her mouth that she read about earlier today

This is happening for your pleasure, at your leisure
Use your evil
When you want
This is happening for your pleasure, at your leisure
Use your evil
When you want

When the night becomes, automatic sequence joining the day
Singing something new, someone else is sliding into your way
When a menthol hit, hooks a spatial girl in her summer clothes
Like a transmission, on an empty channel, all lines are closed

Got to get you off my conscience by Friday
On Saturday I'll be wide awake, On Sunday I'm your new best friend
On Monday learn it all again

For your pleasure, at your leisure
Use your evil, when you want

    She keeps falling for someone, gets them off her mind, then gets roped back in.

    girl is in aw by someone of "celebrity" status, and then referring to Chainsaw Arm's comment,

    the evil would be happening for the pleasure and leisure of the celebrity, using his powering effect on this poor girl, or others. Shes just his toy

    hooked onto the guy she's blind to the fact of whats going on and keeps going back for more

    "menthol" = cigaratee, often perceived as "cool" "spatial girl = innocent, naive "photographs" = famous photographer/celebrity status "the taste shes read earlier today" = his kisses, read about him in a magazine, saw his work around town

    shy, naive girl, out on the town spots this cool "celebrity" photographer lighting up a smoke, e.r, "Like a transmission, on an empty channel, all lines are closed" like a car would, she comes to a sudden hault over his presence.

    "Taking photographs, speaking slowly through the permanent waves" = uses his "art" to convince the girl she is "special" thus uses his "EVIL" and gets what he wants, sex, etc.

    "When the night becomes, automatic sequence joining the day"= sex (a date turns to the bedroom the night sequences into the day, morning after)

    "Singing something new, someone else is sliding into your way" = next girl for the celebrity, he "sings" something new, sways a new innocent girl, which is now in the way between the first to fall victim and the seducer

    "Got to get you off my conscience by Friday, On Saturday I'll be wide awake, On Sunday I'm your new best friend, On Monday learn it all again" = the internal conflict of saying she wont go back, but ultimately returning to be used

    recurring similar them of "Light & Magic"

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
