Trophy Scars

I said to the waitress, "hey, another coffee"
Refills are free, and I'm feeling pretty lonely
The diner's kinda cold and a little bit empty
Just then she walked in, and she tried to ignore me

it's my ex-wife, and she's looking kinda sick
I recently just learned she's been blowing crazy shit
"oh, baby, how ya been? I haven't seen you in a bit"
"I know we aren't great friends, but can you take some time and sit, huh?"

thanks, hun, you look very pretty
I know that you know that I know, and it hurts me so much
I can't help you... I wanted to help you
Let me please help you

how come?
How could you do this?
You're so goddamn gorgeous
You're so goddamn selfish
I love you to pieces
Kiddo, I'm dying
I'm tired of crying, ok?

just stop
Look what your man's done
He made a mess, and he's selling me sick
I'm so sickening
Sick of me
Sick
I'm so sickening
Sick of me
Sick
I'm so sick

hey, it's ok
I love you the same like when were just kids
Oh, babe, it's just me
I know we don't talk much
I love you... please stop this
Just stop this, just stop it, just stop

stop it
Stop this
I can't sit here and watch while you make yourself sick
I'm so sickening
Sick of what?
Sickening
Sick of me
Sickening
Sick of her
Sickening
Sick of sick

my bad
I'm an awful example
A hypocrite and a cheat
So I'm sorry

it's just
I won't let this happen again
I let my hair grow
And I tried to forget you
Don't break my heart
And let this shit kill you

I can do what I want
'cause my ex-girlfriend don't give a fuck about
Jamie devine can do what he wants
'cause his ex-girlfriend don't give a fuck about

all of us got these broken dreams
A fractured love over drugs that scream about
Forcing yourself to do what you want
'cause your next girlfriend will make you write about
So all of us can do what we want
'cause our ex-girlfriends don't give a fuck about
Sweetheart please! you can't give up
Please love yourself and stay with us around

I won't ever know how things end up
I miss her lots, but we rarely talk... oh, well
Oh, jamie please, let's get a drink
I think it's 'bout time we leave this place, ya know? ya know? ya know?

    This is about an old love of his that he hates seeing hurt. He wants to help, but she won't let him.

    So good and so underrated. Yeah, the meaning is pretty obvious. Almost all Jerry's songs are about the same thing.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
