There is nothing.

There is nothing, I would not give.

These are the days of calm (These are the days of calm)
Please understand these are the days of calm.

We don't forget.
We don't forgive.

    again, not 100% sure on the lyrics, mainly the God part. I only assumed this because of the song it leads in to.

    I think this song is an obvious lead-in to Breaking Point. Allow me to be a little more detailed.

    "There is nothing I would not give." --To me, he is talking about material possessions. He would give away everything he owns to have the world be better (I know, it doesn't make sense. Read on. Trust me, it will make sense).

    "These are the days of calm." --The "calm before the storm" scenario. Again, this whole song is a lead-in to Breaking Point. Following the lyrics from Breaking Point, this interpretation of at least this line is obvious.

    "Please understand these are the days of calm." --Begging humanity to realize that the world isn't better; in fact, it is about to completely go to shit. Again, the "calm before the storm."

    "We don't forget. We don't Forgive." --Talking about humanity. We (humans) do not forget or forgive anyone or anything. This is why wars happen. This is why violence happens. This is why the world is starting to crumble.

    Breaking Point goes on to kick ass and further the points I made above. Just my 2 cents though.

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.

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.

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.
