In the salsify mains of what was thought but unsaid
All the calcified arithmatists were doing the math
And it would take a calculated blow to the head
To light the eyes of all the harmless sociopaths

Oh arm in arm we are the harmless sociopaths
Oh, arm in arm with all the harmless sociopaths
Calcium mines are buried deep in your chest
Oh the calcium mines you buried deep in your chest

Ooh
You're deep in a mine
Ooh
A calcium mine
Oh

Let's get out of here
Past the atmosphere
Squint your eyes and no one dies or goes to jail
Past the silver bridge
Oh the silver bridge wearing nothing but a one-sie and a veil

Ooh
You're deep in a mine, o-o-oh
Ooh
A calcium mine
Oh no no

Arm in arm we are the harmless sociopaths
Oh arm in arm with all the harmless sociopaths
In the calcium mines buried deep in your chest
Oh the calcium mines buried deep in your chest

Ooh
Deep in a mine, oh-no
Ooh
A calcium mine
Oh-no

So let's get out of here
Past the atmosphere
Squint your eyes and no one dies or goes to jail
Past the silver bridge
Oh the silver bridge wearing nothing but a one-sie and a veil

Oh-no
Oh-no
Oh-no
Oh-no

    Love it. Beautiful. The Silver Bridge bit though- reference to this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Bridge

    My take is, along with the squinting, if we're ignorant to the glaringly obvious pains and injustice we are easily presented with.... no one is dying, going to jail, and we won't realize life is too complicated to not fail and experience our own pain... The ignorance of innocence is beautiful and conversely a tragedy to those in the know.

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.
