Finally Free

KoЯn

[Verse 1]
It's hard to see what you will find
When your heart's dipped in agony
I tried too hard, I was too kind
I saw your face in everything

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm hating it
It's coming for me
I'm hating it
It's laughing at me
I'm hating it
It's time to realize what is really going down
I'm hating it
It's staring at me
I'm hating it
It's pulling on me
I'm hating it
I can't believe it, take it down, take it down now

[Chorus]
Where are you now?
I tried to get through to you, nothing is saving you
How could I fail?
This life betrayed you, and you are finally free

[Verse 2]
What you see is what you get
I had no time to process it
I think if I just turn around
That this nightmare will come unbound

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm hating it
It's coming for me
I'm hating it
It's laughing at me
I'm hating it
It's time to realize what is really going down
I'm hating it
It's staring at me
I'm hating it
It's pulling on me
I'm hating it
I can't believe it, take it down, take it down now

[Chorus]
Where are you now?
I tried to get through to you, nothing is saving you
How could I fail?
This life betrayed you, and you are finally free

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about someone losing someone to suicide who they were very close to. They were aware of how much suffering this person was going through but couldn't face the fact in time to save them. They're hating themselves for not getting to the person in time & now assume this person's passing is partly their fault.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
