This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Four years, you think for sure
That's all you've got to endure
All the total dicks, all the stuck-up chicks
So superficial, so immature
And then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say, "Hey, wait!"
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over, oh, that's just great
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends
High school never ends
Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, hey
Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, hey
Check out the popular kids
You'll never guess what Jessica did
And how did Mary-Kate lose all that weight?
And Katie had a baby, so I guess Tom's straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you're sixteen or thirty-five
Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen
Bill Gates, captain of the chess team
Jack Black, a clown, Brad Pitt, the quarterback
Seen it all before, I want my money back
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's in the club and who's on the drugs
Who's throwing up before they digest
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
And you still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends
Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
(High school never ends)
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And I still don't have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
High school never ends
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
High school never ends
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
And here we go again
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends
High school never ends
Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, hey

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America.
