The Wreckage

Throw The Fight

The water's rising up
The air is getting oh so thin
I struggle but I lie trapped under this crushing tide
My hands still shake with fear
The silence replaced all my tears
Time seems to pass me by
The doors are locked I say goodbye

Take us away, save us tonight
Close your eyes
Say goodbye
Save us tonight
Take us away

Caught in this wreckage with you
Hands tied at ten then tied at two
My scars won't ever heal when I am lying in this metal tomb
Caught in this wreckage with you
Hands tied at ten then tied at two
My scars won't ever heal when I am lying, dying next to you

The pictures in my head
c million things I should have said
I live with one regret
Pray to God he will hear my request
I close my eyes and then
The white light starts to filter in
I'll see you at the end
Waiting there with my best friend

Take us away, save us tonight
Close your eyes
Say goodbye
Save us tonight
Take us away

Caught in this wreckage with you
Hands tied at ten then tied at two
My scars won't ever heal when I am lying in this metal tomb
Caught in this wreckage with you
Hands tied at ten then tied at two
My scars won't ever heal when I am lying, dying next to you

My swollen heart explodes
Seeing you on your own
I fight with my last breath
Tear the cord that restrains my chest
I pulled the door ajar
Swam for safety leaving the car
I thought I got you clear
Pulled you out and found you some air

The sight of flashing lights tells me that I'm alive
The voices whisper that the girl she went and died tonight
I know my tears will rain
Until I'm with you once again
My love, my everything
My broken heart will never mend
cnd I know my tears will rain
Until I'm with you once again
My love, my everything
My broken heart will never end

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.

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.

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.
