Split open your head
And let me pour it in
All the knowledge and feeling
Of these five deadly sins
That your mother would not
Let you see on TV
So you creep to your basement
And lie about being asleep
All alone where the rats colonize
With their tea
As they sip and they watch
You give into the sound
It just takes you and rips
At your soul
This piper is playing and hypnotizing
A funky ass street tempo
The forces are lining
The ticking the timing is off
You're resisting
But it's all for nothing
The piper is playing his song
Can you hear it It's ripping it's gripping
And pulling your spirit
From your inside chest
Your heart it collapses
From the depths, the pits , the gutters, the shits
That make you scream
Scream, scream, scream, scream,
Scream, scream, scream, scream,
Scream, scream, scream, scream
Scream, scream
Line up it's role call
Head is clear
And even though I wrapped you up in butterflies like evenflow
Jeremiah spoke to the masses
And in flash he caught a fist
And broke his glasses
The pipers tune is different
From the boom that you listened to
In your room
Better check your speakers
Their weaker and their trip
Is coming harder
Than a booyacka-booyacka
Coming from your father
Hypnotized, mesmerized, cauterized
With his eyes the surprise is
Start to fizz
Realize that control is his
The pipe is strong
The trip was long
You hit the bong
To concentrate on the song
And before too long
You're under his control
What the fuck?
The children are listening
The temper is ringing
Constantly clinging
To that hydroponic feeling
If you give him the chance
He'll take your mind away
And as the rhythm fades
Play the piper play the piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He has your mind in his head
Now you can let go
He's got your time
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for and reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He has your mind in his head
Now you can let go
He's got your time
Play the piper play

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.

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.
