The other side, the other side, the other side of me

By day I play the part in every way
Of simple, sweet, calm, and collected
Pretend, to my friends, I'm a chameleon
could make a girl feel disconnected

Feel like a star, a superhero
Sometimes its hard to separate
(Got too much on my plate)

If you could see
the other side of me
I'm just like anybody else can't you tell!
I hold the key, to both realities
The girl that I want you to know if only I could show
The other side, the other side, I want you to see,
The other side, the other side, the other side of me

Inside, I try, to make the pieces fit right
A jigsaw puzzle everywhere,
'Cause I flip the script so many times I forget
Who's on stage, who's in the mirror

Back in the spotlight the crowd is calling
The paparazzi and the fame

(Could drive a girl insane!)

If you could see, the other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key, to both realities
The girl that I want you to know if only I could show
The other side, the other side, I want you to see
The other side, the other side, the other side of me

Down inside I'm not that different
Like everyone I have a dream
Don't wanna hide, just wanna fit in
Sometimes it's harder then it seems

If you could see, the other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key to both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If you could see (C'mon) the other side of me
I'm just like everybody else can't you tell!
I hold the key, to both realities
The girl that I want you to know if only I could show

The other side, the other side, I want you to see
The other side, the other side, the other side of me
The other side, the other side, I want you to see
The other side, the other side of me

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
