Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
you like
to think of the names of
the streets in the town where you came from
then imagine the day when the signs were first hung
and you're sure
that you can predict
the value of the outdated rhetoric
composed to your friends that you hang on the wall
you priced them all
and you like
to walk on the ends
when you follow your friends down the stairs
you say it sounds like some old marching band got confused
all the things that you say to me
just seem like
some strange story to fall asleep
you think of
and i'm trying my best to see if i can't be caught
bloodbath on the municipal
i overheard someone say
there's a horseman counting seconds for
the end of someone's day
and the civilians are mildly sleeping, too
banished be cavalier!
that's what they shouted from the windows at the end of every year
all the things that you say to me just seem like
some strange story to fall asleep
you think of
but you like
to think of the names of
the streets in the town where you came from
then imagine the day when the signs were first hung
and you like
to walk on the ends
when you follow your friends down the stairs
you say it sounds like some old marching band got confused
there was a bloodbath on the municipal
i overheard someone say
there was a horseman counting seconds for the end of someone's day
and the civilians are mildly sleeping, too
banished be cavalier!
that's what they shouted from the windows at the end of every year

the streets in the town where you came from

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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
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.
crazy carnival music where clowns are holding down Corgi dogs and inserting cotton candy dildos in their anus and then toe nail clippins in the eyelids, but happy little grandpa man gives you money and he tells you that he loves you and will never leave you as long as you go to college and see the other side, but i dont really want to. Dav'es voice so soothing letting you go to sleep into a weird sleep that no one knows or cares about, and in your dreams te trumpet lets you urinate.
i love this song, so catchy, the new album is very "dope" indeed sire.
¿Dónde conced� Porqué didn' ¿t usted jinete insensiblemente? Si usted es el sliming, el afforce usted mismo. Más es expones pennyroyal del tid del sir el noctambulism' vals de s, menos otro el copartment sesquipedalian caótico tórpido. Wicker' de s de los indecences gremio acquiescently pennyroyal.
