This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have pictures of you in my head, some in black and white
Lots of pictures I haven’t deleted, still on my file
But there ain’t no moving pictures ‘cause you haven’t been back
I bought a new projector but the screen is showing black
Ooh baby since you’ve been gone my will just hasn’t been strong
Any good times we had, all just make me feel bad
Ooh baby won’t you come back, we’ll put our train on the track
I love all that you do; I want more pictures of you
Our wedding photos are fading away, been in the light too long
You told me you’d love me forever, how could you be so wrong
I kept the moving pictures ‘cause you wouldn’t be back
There’s no need for a projector ‘cause I’ll never, never play it back
Ooh baby since you’ve been gone my will just hasn’t been strong
Any good times we had, all just make me feel bad
Ooh baby won’t you come back, we’ll put our train on the track
I love all that you do; I want more pictures of you
There’s a frame on my wall and you left me
Hung empty and sad since you left
Now there’s room on my frame for two
All I need is a picture of you
Ooh baby since you’ve been gone my will just hasn’t been strong
Any good times we had, all just make me feel bad
Ooh baby won’t you come back, we’ll put our train on the track
I love all that you do
Ooh baby since you’ve been gone my will just hasn’t been strong
Any good times we had, all just make me feel bad
Ooh baby won’t you come back, we’ll put our train on the track
I love all that you do; I want more pictures of you
Lots of pictures I haven’t deleted, still on my file
But there ain’t no moving pictures ‘cause you haven’t been back
I bought a new projector but the screen is showing black
Ooh baby since you’ve been gone my will just hasn’t been strong
Any good times we had, all just make me feel bad
Ooh baby won’t you come back, we’ll put our train on the track
I love all that you do; I want more pictures of you
Our wedding photos are fading away, been in the light too long
You told me you’d love me forever, how could you be so wrong
I kept the moving pictures ‘cause you wouldn’t be back
There’s no need for a projector ‘cause I’ll never, never play it back
Ooh baby since you’ve been gone my will just hasn’t been strong
Any good times we had, all just make me feel bad
Ooh baby won’t you come back, we’ll put our train on the track
I love all that you do; I want more pictures of you
There’s a frame on my wall and you left me
Hung empty and sad since you left
Now there’s room on my frame for two
All I need is a picture of you
Ooh baby since you’ve been gone my will just hasn’t been strong
Any good times we had, all just make me feel bad
Ooh baby won’t you come back, we’ll put our train on the track
I love all that you do
Ooh baby since you’ve been gone my will just hasn’t been strong
Any good times we had, all just make me feel bad
Ooh baby won’t you come back, we’ll put our train on the track
I love all that you do; I want more pictures of 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
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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
American Town

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.
