Drink Me

Anna Nalick

Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever
Lately I'm obsessed and I need the rest

I hope that you're impressed but she's so pretty
I'm jealous
And she's lost like Alice in a painted past
In a looking glass
I see me looking back

I'll take another, "Drink me," baby
Slowly I'll disappear and wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare

So you're a fan of Coltrane
Well I wanna be Kurt Cobain
When the truth gets scary I'll take my gin and sherry

And some, "Drink Me,"
There'll be Plath and Joplin with verse
Writing suiciders
Kennedy and Monroe come to see my rock show
I'll be there in the front row

I'll take another, "Drink me," baby
Slowly I'll disappear and wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare

I won't be around to play your games
There will come a day when you won't know my name

I'll get smarterwWith every swallow
You'll wake tomorrow and things won't be the same

Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever
Lately I'm obsessed and I need the rest

I hope that you're impressed because I need the rest
And my head's a mess
I need the rest
I need the rest
I need the rest

    Sounds like a very dark song about suicide. She says it was inspired by a novel (can't remember the name now) where a girl carried a bottle of poison around her neck.

    Its a very beautifully haunting song.

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.

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.

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.
