SOS

Papa Roach

I’m feeling
On top of the world
I’m feeling
Like I can’t do wrong
I’m thinking
Everything is fine
I’m caught up
In the smoke and the mirrors

The people
That you think are your friends
Might be the people
That want to drag you down
You’ve got to look out
For yourself tonight
Don’t get lost
In the smoke and mirrors

Line after line
Time after time
It’s the same old
Same story
He’s lost
And he’s out of his fucking mind
It’s the same old
Same story
He’s lost

I’m tripping
I’m over the edge
I’m falling
And I’ve got no wings
I’m praying
I’ll make it through tonight
I’m caught up
In the smoke and the mirrors

I’m living
In a prison cell
I’m strung out
In downtown hell
I’m looking
For myself tonight
I got lost
In the smoke and the mirrors

Line after line
Time after time
It’s the same old
Same story
He’s lost
And he’s out of his fucking mind
It’s the same old
Same story
He’s lost

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)
This is an SOS (This is an SOS)
This is an SOS (This is an SOS)
Yeah!

It’s the same old
Same story
He’s lost
And he’s out of his fucking mind
It’s the same old
Same story
He’s lost
And he’s out of his fucking mind

Out of his mind
Doing the time
I’m walking the line
Doing the time

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)
This is an SOS (This is an SOS)
This is an SOS (This is an SOS)
Yeah!

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
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. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
