Straight to Hell

Gisli

My clothes don't fit me and my friends don't like me
And this furniture is giving me a rash
I don't have credit and I know I'll never get it
And I'm pretty sure I'll end up all alone

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna be drunk and flat broke
I'm gonna be tired, old and bitter
And really messed up

Cause this behavior is gonna get me nowhere (x4)
But straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell

Girls wont ride me and the boys wont fight me so my
Self esteem has hit an all time low
The drugs don't thrill me and my life's about to kill me
And I'm pretty sure I'll end up all alone

[Chorus:]

Cos this behavior is gonna get me nowhere (x4)
But straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell

The cops wont arrest me and the hookers wont undress me
And my manager is tired of my voice
The servants wont serve me and the doctors wont cure me
And my producer calls my music a bunch of noise

[Chorus]

Cause this behavior is gonna get me nowhere (x4)
But straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell, oh yeah
Straight to hell
Straight to hell

I'm gonna be drunk, and slight broke
I'm gonna be tired old and bitter, and really messed up

Cause this behavior, is gonna get me nowhere
Cause this behavior, is gonna get me nowhere
Cause this behavior, is gonna get me nowhere, but straight to hell
Oh yeah, straight to hell
Oh yeah, straight to hell
Oh yeah, straight to hell
Straight to hell

    basically, Gisli is saying "blah blah blah everything sucks, and thinking like this is just pointless."

    Self-defeating but realizing it. And not doing anything about it. Oh the irony...

    great song!

    I'm pretty sure he's saying "flat broke" not "slight broke"

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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
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.

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.
