This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
if it was up to me, id enver look both
wasy before crossing the street
if it was up to me, i'd never wear my
seatbelt, and i'd probably still speed
if it was up to me, i never would have
smild in any pictures
i'd most likely sleep all day,
if i could just relax for a while
so you better come quick
i'm about to do something foolish
if you could be so kind
as to call hte police
i swear this time
it's not jsut for attention
but i also know that you have heard that
from me once before
if it was up to you,
i would never swear around people
i'm suppose to respect
if it was up to you, i'd keep in touch wiht
friends from the psat
even though they never last
if it was up to you,
i'd alwasy say my prayers before i ate
and before i went to sleep
if it was up to you, i'd be happy and i'd
write songs that made you happy too
i can't seem to care much for these things
that you call life
so you better come quick
i'm about to do something foolish
if you could be so kind
as to call the police
i swear this time
it's not just for attention
i don't want the topic to change
i couldn't ever tell you, to your face
that i've only been pretending
to enjoy this place
it's all been make believe
and it's mostly in my head
the problem is only guess
where we go when we finally rest
will it be better than where we are now
still i'd like to believe
it's better than here
better than where we are
better than here
we've forgotten what we're here for
or maybe we never knew
if a simple life is what we want
why are we so confused?
cause we all want a happy ending
but we're tired of children's books
we're tired of feeling useless
and we're tired of dirty looks
i swear we used to feel things
or at least we cried real tears
we used to say i'm sorry
but we haven't now for years
so forgive us of our sings
let us die in peace
so we never have to choose

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Took their live show to realize that this song is about suicide... pretty obvious though lookign at it now.
Definately about suicide! Without a doubt. The person is so depressed that they can't take life anymore and even though they have talked about commiting suicide before this time they truly mean it because they feel like life is so bad, that where ever they go when they die must be better than life. The person is mostly depressed because of others in the world, cause they feel like no one understands why we are here and that everything is fake.
This is exactly how I feel. I'm going to do something foolish. It's only a matter of time.
DOES ANYBODY HERE KNOW HOW TO SPELL!?
Know.
