I take it in stride, one day at a time
If I ask no questions I'll hear no lies
How come blessings only come in disguise'
Try that on for size as I vocalize

ain't nothing gonna get in between me and my flow
Ain't nothing gonna come between me and my afro
My man just left me, what do ya know'
Easy come, easy go

He came out of the blue and went right back into it
Had to forfeit 'cause he couldn't get with it
Called it quits and when he split
He said he didn't have time for my juvenile bullshit

I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved because I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me!

I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until they start to trip
Yes siree, the whole world should revolve around me!

there's only one me in the galaxy
I am an endangered species
This kind of flower don't grow on Earth
Just lettin' you know for what it's worth

This kind of knowledge can cause a depression
So I bide my time with philosophical questions
Not for nothing, but what came first'
The chicken nugget or the Egg McMuffin'

I got talent and I got tits
I know I'll find another guy who wants to get with it
I'm not convinced that I'm a big fat whore
One man's pleasure is another man's chore

I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved because I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me!

I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until they start to trip
Yes siree, the whole world should revolve around me!

I know I rock and what I got is hot
And you know I got a lot
'Cause all that trippin' you gotta stop
Before you know it your ass'll be dropped

I ain't concerned with my biological clock
Since I never grow old, my money's always in stocks
Keep screwing that bitch from down the block
I don't need you around, I know I rock!

I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved because I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me!

I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until they start to trip
Yes siree, the whole world should revolve around me!

I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved because I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me!

I don't see the point of a partnership
It won't be long until they start to trip
Yes siree, the whole world should revolve around me!

    i love this song! It's about loving being single.

    "Had to forfeit Because he couldn't get with it"

    meaning she doesn't want to "give up the goods" so she says eff em

    "I'm not concerned With my biological clock"

    meaning she doesn't need a man because she doesn't have any plans to have kids anyways

    "The point in a partnership it won't be long Until they start to trip"

    whats the point of having a relationship when its going to go sour?

    she knows she cool, she knows shes hot, she just lives and have funs without the pressures of a relationship. loves it!

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
