THIS WILL BE THE END OF YOU!
(Ladies and gentlemen, friends and foe's,
this song goes out to all you fucking quiters out there)

How dare you stare at the ground when you
don't even know which direction to go?
Are you really that anxious to drift life away,
and just give up on yourself?

You better dance to the beat of living.
Start taking control and take care of yourself.
Reach out for help if you're falling,
We're in this together.
You're in this alone.

Don't be proud enough to reach out for help.

She's on fire but her embers burn her bridges.
And she knows that she can't walk on water.
Yet she tries.
For what is worse than to ask your friends for help.
And so she sinks to the bottom of the sea.

Burn out the eyes of the traitors face.
They have told their final line.
They have told their final line.

One more time we'll throw down our fucking fists.
To anyone who stand against us.
To anyone who disagree.

Stop chasing your shadow. You're in this alone.
You need to fight until your heart stops beating.
Don't think for a second that you will be saved.
Hands down. It's over.

This is the end of everything.
And sure as hell i'm taking you with it.
I rather die with blood on my hands,
if my conscious is clean and my heart's been beating pure.

For what is living if you've already dead?

She's on fire but her embers burn her bridges.
And she knows that she can't walk on water.
Yet she tries.
For what is worse than to ask your friends for help.
And so she sinks to the bottom of the sea.

We're swiming and sinking,
We're running and falling,
We're breathing, not living,
We're crashing down!

We hold the answers in our hearts
as we been singing times before.
We spend every breath to stand our ground
but what's the point when we're sinking?

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head &gt; Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
