I hear your heart cry for love
But you won't let me make it right
You were hurt, but I decided that you were worth the fight
Every night, you lock up
You won't let me come inside
But the look in your eyes, I can turn the tide

In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
I can tell you can fit one more
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
I don't care who was there before

I hear your heart cry for love
Then you act like there's no room
Room for me, or anyone
"Don't disturb" is all I see
Close the door, turn the key
On everything that we could be
If loneliness would move out
I'd fill the vacancy
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh

This ain't the Heartbreak Hotel
Even though I know it well
Those no shows, they sure tell
In the way you hold yourself
Don't you fret, should you get
Another cancellation
Give me a chance, I'll make a
Permanent reservation

In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
I can tell you can fit one more
Open up make a brand new start
I don't care who's stayed before

I hear your heart cry for love
Then you act like there's no room
Room for me, or anyone
"Don't disturb" is all I see
Close the door, turn the key
On everything that we could be
If loneliness would move out
I'd fill the vacancy
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh

When I talk to you on the phone
Listen close

I hear your heart cry for love
Then you act like there's no room
Room for me, or anyone
"Don't disturb" is all I see
Close the door, turn the key
On everything that we could be
If loneliness would move out
I'd fill the vacancy
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh

    This song's pure genius.

    I think it's pretty self-explanatory. There's a guy who really likes this girl and this girl has been heartbroken a few times. She's afraid of taking the step of faith towards love. But the guy really wants her to open up because he knows that deep down inside, she's really yearning for love. She acts like she doesn't like him or anyone else and chases him away. He wishes that loneliness would leave her heart so he can feel the vacancy in her heart. He really wants a chance with her.

    Yeah...I tend to go straight for The Wanted songs just cos i'm in love with them, but then I notice they don't really need any explaining cos they all kinda explain it thru the lyrics. But, yah. It basically is just saying the girl needs to try and face the fact that someone can love her without getting hurt, and that the one talking/singing this will help her and love her unconditionally

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
