This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
And baby, why don't you just stay?
I'll sing you songs in bed all day
And I'll give you blankets just to keep you warm
Anything to keep you away from that door
But I can't keep you away
And now I know it, why you got to go
I was just hoping that I could say no
A kiss goodbye, and she don't touch my lips
Just walk away and then my stomach twists
Don't go, don't go
Baby, please don't go
And keep walking away
(Keep walking away)
Start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that you would stay
But you don't
And I came to see you and I should have known
A wasted plane ticket to Ohio
We're sleeping naked
I'm the one you chose
But who else see's you in this bed
Without your clothes?
I never believed a word you said
(You still don't)
I still don't
And you're so clever with the way you think
I'll never know it didn't mean a thing
And a kiss goodbye, and she don't touch my lips
Well, just walk away, cause I don't need that shit
Keep walking away
(Keep walking away)
And start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that you could stay
I only wish that you would...
And come and whisper in my ear
"If I don't come back, come and find me."
Always leave to make a scene
Pretty eyes, the joke's on me
Come and whisper in my ear
"If I don't come back, come and find me."
Always leave to make a scene
Pretty eyes, the joke's on...
Keep walking away
And start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that
I always wish
I only wish that you would stay
I only wish that you would stay, yeah
Keep walking
Keep walking
Keep walking
Keep walking
And keep walking away
Right now, your voice would shut me down
So shut me down
Right now, your voice would shut me down
So shut me down now
I'll sing you songs in bed all day
And I'll give you blankets just to keep you warm
Anything to keep you away from that door
But I can't keep you away
And now I know it, why you got to go
I was just hoping that I could say no
A kiss goodbye, and she don't touch my lips
Just walk away and then my stomach twists
Don't go, don't go
Baby, please don't go
And keep walking away
(Keep walking away)
Start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that you would stay
But you don't
And I came to see you and I should have known
A wasted plane ticket to Ohio
We're sleeping naked
I'm the one you chose
But who else see's you in this bed
Without your clothes?
I never believed a word you said
(You still don't)
I still don't
And you're so clever with the way you think
I'll never know it didn't mean a thing
And a kiss goodbye, and she don't touch my lips
Well, just walk away, cause I don't need that shit
Keep walking away
(Keep walking away)
And start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that you could stay
I only wish that you would...
And come and whisper in my ear
"If I don't come back, come and find me."
Always leave to make a scene
Pretty eyes, the joke's on me
Come and whisper in my ear
"If I don't come back, come and find me."
Always leave to make a scene
Pretty eyes, the joke's on...
Keep walking away
And start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that
I always wish
I only wish that you would stay
I only wish that you would stay, yeah
Keep walking
Keep walking
Keep walking
Keep walking
And keep walking away
Right now, your voice would shut me down
So shut me down
Right now, your voice would shut me down
So shut me down now

Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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
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.

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
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.
Obviously its remembering a past relationship that no longer has the same spark it once did.
i absolutely love this song. and its a sick reference to Entourage with the name and in the beginning when he says the line from Queens Boulevard. Just totally in love with this song.
