Take Apart Your Head

Brand New

Goodbye to sex
Wish I could say, "I'm sorry," to my ex
Take apart your head
Chew it up and swallow it

Goodbye to love,
I have pushed you up, right against the wall
Take apart your head
Chew it up and swallow it

But I'll bet that you know that
Pretty soon you'll be back tonight
I can't say things that I'm feelin'
I'll never get anything right

Goodbye you liar
You're sippin' from a cup
But you don't own up to anything
And you think you will be fine
Take apart your head
Take apart the demons, that bring an addict to the bed

But I'll bet that you know
That pretty soon you'll be back tonight
I can't say the things that I'm feelin'
I'll never get anything right, on my own
I'll never get anything right, on my own
I'll never get anything right, on my own
I'll never get anything right, on my own

I say, please take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
I don't mind you roaming through my skin
Oh, let the bad pox in, the bad pox in

When we were made, we were seperable
Life is a test and I get bad marks
'Cause the Saint got the job,
And I'm writing down my sins
The storm is coming
The storm is coming, yeah

But I'll bet that you know
That pretty soon you'll be back tonight
I can't change this that I'm feelin'
I never say anything right, on my own
I never say anything right, on my own

I say, please take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
I don't mind you roaming through my skin
Oh, let the bad pox in, the bad pox in

You're my favorite bird, and when you sing
I really do wish that you wear my ring
No matter what they say, I am still the king
Now, the storm is coming,
The storm is coming, yeah

    For reference for anyone that hears different lyrics.

    I think it is the 'storm is coming in', not 'storm is coming, yeah'.

    Otherwise thanks for submitting this version of the lyrics.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
