Just a prisoner in a cage
Just a King without a throne
Just a cog within a wheel that's spinning my world around
Just a book without a page
Just a dog without a bone
I'm a leaf on the branch of a tree blown out on my own
You know that I've been down to the wire
Down to the bone
I know what it's like to be sad and alone
And here is the reason I didn't need to know
Am I moving with the tide
Is she moving with me
Is my head full of wonder at gifts for the Heir to be
You know that I've been down the river
Down to the sea
Have run to the left and the right of me
If that isn't reason then I really need to know
Why you move in your Circles
And leave me in the real world
Now all that you see in front of your eyes is gold
Move in Circles now now
Sometimes I feel I get so insecure
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing control
But I want you and need you
And with you heart I feel so alive
I feel I know I need you for more than a night
Won't you move in your Circles
And leave me in the real world
Now all that you see in front of your eyes is gold
Won't you move in your Circles
And leave me in the real world
Now all that you see in front of your eyes is gold
Won't you move in your Circles
And leave me in the real world
Now all that you see in front of your eyes is gold
Circles now

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.

Plastic Bag
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.
