I hear your heart
As you pass through
I know the pain that you feel
I'll shepherd you

Under the skin
Everything shows
Under the skin

Anything goes
For the asking
Under the skin

I know it's hard
Been so hard to find
Your passion swallows you whole
Deaf dumb and blind

Under the skin
Everything grows
Under the skin

Anything goes
For the asking
Under the skin

When the shout is thrown
From the side of the wall
And you feel so small
Where do you belong

When you're so far out
And you're filled with doubt
And the silhouettes shout
Where do you belong

Lay your head down
No one will see
Cry me a river of new dreams
Float just so free

Under the skin
Everything shows
Under the skin

Anything goes
For the asking
Under the skin

Under the skin
Everything grows
Under the skin

Anything goes
Long live the Queen
Under the skin

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.
