Pain

Hollywood Undead

(Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye, I cry so hard
Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye, I cry tonight)

The necks of this youth
With their necks through this noose
We're told lies like it's truth
And we suspect that it's you
So you strap them with the AK
It's motherfucking mayday
They swear I'm fucking crazy
Ain't nothing gonna save me

I'm breaking, I feel it
I'm naked, I'm kneeling
I'm shaking, I'm reeling
My God I keep bleeding
I watch the world die through crimson eyes
I cry it turns to night
I die, I see the light
And now I'll say goodbye

Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry so hard
Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry tonight

If I could take all this pain away
Use the rage of our youth today
Whose to say that it's you to blame
It's the people above you
The ones who say that they love you
Look what the world has come to
So now it's time to say 'Fuck you'

If you care then they drug you
And no one's there when they numb you
Fill you with terror and crush you
Pretend they care as they shove you

So you look to me to find the truth
And what I say is what you do
But everyone you look up to
Is really as fucked-up as you

Time is getting shorter
With these enforced disorders
And we get blamed and pushed around
So who's the fucking villain now?

Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry so hard
Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry tonight

We can't stop now
We're so close now
'Cause these times are almost over
I won't give up
So God, save us
It feels like we're getting closer

We can't stop now
We're so close now
'Cause these times are almost over
I won't give up
So God, save us, wow

Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry so hard
Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry tonight

Goodbye
I cry tonight

I'll cry tonight
I cry tonight

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
