She's all that I see and all that I breathe
Take a breath and hold her in as the shadows whispering
I can hear the laughter, knowing what they're after
And while she flies beside me, a man with broken wings

Take, take a look around, she's a pretty good dancer
She dances on my grave
Every time it goes down, every time she comes down
Every time we fall down, she dances all over me

She's the world in my feet, the sun that gives see
Take a rest and hold her near or she'll float away from here
'Cause I'm knowing what you fearing, an unsentimental jury
And every mile I guide you, I watch over everything

Take, take a look around, she's a pretty good dancer
She dances on my grave
Every time it goes down, every time she comes down
Every time we fall down, she dances all over me

And every time that we fail is just another long wasted night
And the dance that we do is just another way for you to roll over me
And the bed that we're sharing is the home that I wanna bring you
Wanna feel you, oh, I don't wanna hear you

Take, take a look around, she's a pretty good dancer
She dances on my grave
Every time it goes down, every time she comes down
Every time we fall down, she dances all over me
She dances all over me, she dances all over me

She's a pretty good dancer
Take, take, take a look around, she's a pretty good dancer
Pretty, pretty, pretty dancer
Every time she comes down, she comes down, comes down

    I'm not sure what this song is about really, but it's a beatiful song. I love at the end, when Slash is soloing as it fades, and Scott's all "She's a pretty good dancer" - his voice sounds cool at that part.

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

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.
