The World Around You

Papa Roach

Somebody falls in love
Somebody breaks a heart
We never fell in love
We only fell apart
I’m getting lonely
I need somebody to hold me
I thought id never miss her
She cut me out of the pictures

Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the desperation?
Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the life your living?

Somebody tells the truth
Somebody lives a lie
I can see right threw
The story is in your eyes
I know what there saying
There is no need for explaining
There will be nothing better
Then when I burn all your letters

Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the desperation?
Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the life your living?
Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the desperation?
Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the life your living?

We never fell in love
We only fell apart
We only fell apart
We only fell apart
We only fell apart
So we pick up the pieces and put em together
We said this is gonna last for ever
Pick up the pieces and put em together
You said this was gonna last forever!

Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the desperation?
Take a look at the world around you
Can you see the life your living?

We never fell in love we only fell apart
We never fell in love we only fell apart

Somebody falls in love
Somebody breaks a heart
We never fell in love
We only fell apart
Somebody falls in love
Somebody breaks a heart
We never fell in love
We only fell apart

    you need to learn to listen to music, although the intro between the two songs is similar in sound, the notes and their order are obviously different

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.
