This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You boarded up the doors
But there was no storm coming
Just a vision in a window
A reflection looking in
You ran your hands along the lines
That reached out over the distance
Then you cut them all away
Until I was just drifting
Now you say that it's too quiet here
I follow you outside
But you keep looking back
Like you left something behind
I took everything that I could get
And spent the rest of the time
Trying to repay it, oh, no...
Send my heart out on the next train
Far from the city that you call my name
Pull my arms through future towns
They're all around
The tracks and the tracks
And the fields and the fields
And the roads and the roads
And the wheels and the wheels
My head is full of empty towns
The heavy air and underground
My heart is wrapped with empty air
It's everywhere
But there was no storm coming
Just a vision in a window
A reflection looking in
You ran your hands along the lines
That reached out over the distance
Then you cut them all away
Until I was just drifting
Now you say that it's too quiet here
I follow you outside
But you keep looking back
Like you left something behind
I took everything that I could get
And spent the rest of the time
Trying to repay it, oh, no...
Send my heart out on the next train
Far from the city that you call my name
Pull my arms through future towns
They're all around
The tracks and the tracks
And the fields and the fields
And the roads and the roads
And the wheels and the wheels
My head is full of empty towns
The heavy air and underground
My heart is wrapped with empty air
It's everywhere

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song reminds me of being utterly overwhelmed. First by love, earlier in the song, and then towards the end of the song it seems to be about just being overwhelmed by all of life in general. It's a really sad and beautiful song, maybe about a girl who was trying to keep the evil out (boarding up the doors) when she really needed protection from herself (but there was no storm coming, just a reflection looking in).
