I'll be God
I'll be God, I'll be God, I'll be God today
Hold my head under the bath and breathe away
Slit my wrists and watch that blood evaporate
Being this Godly can't be good for Ana's safety, Ana, hear me

I'll play God
I'll play God, I'll play God, I'll play God today
Ante up and play that God a poker game
Walk away with all our little God's spare change
Playing this God, it can't be good for Ana's safety, Ana, hear me

Oh Ana, I'll be with you still
You are the angel that I couldn't kill

I'll fake God
I'll fake God, I'll fake God, I'll fake God today
Hop up on a cloud and watch the world decay
Ana on my shoulders and we'll laugh away
Faking this God, it can't be good for Ana's safety, Ana, hear me
Ana, baby, I'm not crazy
Oh Ana, oh Ana

Oh Ana, I'll be with you still
You are the angel that I couldn't kill

Kill
Kill
Kill
Kill

Oh Ana, I'll be with you still
You are the angel that I couldn't kill
Ana, I'll be with you still
You are the angel that I couldn't kill
I couldn't kill
I couldn't kill
I couldn't kill
No, I couldn't kill
No, I couldn't kill
No, I couldn't kill Ana
Oh Ana

    I think this song is about someone trying to play god with their victim, Ana. Now I don't know if Ana's a child, but it seems a lot like the character is trying to play god with Ana's life, but they just can't bring themselves to kill her.

    The first verse speaks right out about death, and killing themselves, but they can't seem to do it right, so they gamble with Ana's life, the second verse, and then the third is about the world going to hell...

    So maybe this song is more than the characters.

    It speaks about torturing self, others, and then the world as a whole, and how the character still isn't crazy compared to the world.

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.
