I can't start wishing that I went for something more
but I can dream between my losing faith and now
I've got plans
of stay proud
with every single scream
I'll find my place in every city.
No, never lose my voice

I stood there counting all the days 'til I was free
I can't sleep, I'll drive the 30 miles home
but I can't breathe
but I'm still proud
of every single day
Is something killing me again?
I need to get away

from all the things that made me lose my mind before,
and I know
this time everything (this time everything)
is gonna be alright (is gonna be alright)
take it slow, so you know
that it's real more than just tonight (tonight, tonight)
and what if every word (and what if every word)
escaped my mouth tonight (escaped my mouth tonight)
and I watch as the world
took its toll on my lips and my lips told my voice
that to let my mouth make prize

So what if my house is just a van
and I'm in love
Would I drive without the miles out west
to disconnect
I know I've got this in my head
so what if music changed my life
will it ever changed my mind

this time everything (this time everything)
is gonna be alright (is gonna be alright)
take it slow, so you know
that it's real more than just tonight (tonight, tonight)
what if every word (what if every word)
escaped my mouth tonight (escaped my mouth tonight)
and i watch as the world
took its toll on my lips
and my lips told my voice
that to let my mouth make prize

With all it took apart in my head
I'll keep you singing
along for all that I can
when I'm afraid
of all the nightmares that were true
and I'm just giving
out my dreams again
I'll never wonder what I'll be

Why can't you
help me find it once again
you were never one
to give up on this town
to give up on this town

and this time everything
is gonna be alright
to give up every word
and change my life tonight
I'll change my life tonight

    Um, I'm really too sure on some of the lyrics...but, yea. I tried? The last stanza-thing is pretty screwed up 'cause I kept getting confused between the two voices...so yeah.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
