Nobody gives a shit anymore
The things you're laying down are much too heavy
Are much too heavy on me
Fuck that sinking feeling
I've been crawling on my back these past few weeks
(I'm skipping out on it every other night)
Fuck dude, there's a black dog chewing on my neck
I think I'm suffocating

We tied a knot around
I'm always running through a tunnel
Heavy hearted in stride
But I stopped holding my breath
There was no light in sight
Keeping busy and my mind off being alone
But it seems that's all I ever really want these days
And just then you let the sun in, and I stared at it for way too long

And now I'm blind
Can't see nothing wrong with what you're doing to me
Summer came and we all moved away
(What you're doing to me)
Don't get excited by the things that people say
(What you're doing to me)
I tried to warn you
Summer came and we all moved away
I tried to warn you
Can you feel the distance?
Can you feel the growth?
Can you feel the warmth coming from my lies?
In his car, in your car
Oh my God, black hole
Can you feel the distance?
(In his car)
Can you feel the growth?
(In your car)
Can you feel the warmth coming from my lies?
(Oh my God, black hole)

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.

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.
