This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Put down the weapons that you use against yourself
You don't need them anymore
Lay down the weapons that you use against the world
We don't need another war
Put down the weapons that you use against yourself
You don't need them anymore
Lay down the weapons that you use against the world
We don't need another war
My worst crime is an inside job
Dark thoughts taking over like an inside mob
I tune in to the scene between the eyes
And take a breath
I sit still and watch the thoughts flow past me
Never mind the future, never mind what the past be
I like to jump and let the universe catch me
Free fall, watch the beauty blow past me
I keep my pockets light, destination in sight
I keep my actions elevated to compassionate heights
I'm walking pacified, laying down arms in the night
Choosing love when I pick up this mic, so we can
Make love, make love, not war
Make love, make love, not war
Make love, make love, not war
Make love, make love, make love, make love
World peace begins within
In each beat of the heart underneath our skin
Breathe and release the binds
You're holdin' and free your mind
Step back from the drama and observe it
Draw the energy in and conserve it
Every pain is a lesson for the learning
Mother nature didn't make us to be murdering
Make love, make love, not war (well, it's a choice you make)
Make love, make love, not war
Make love, make love, not war (it's a choice you make)
Make love, make love, make love, make love
Find a project to dive in, a book you can write in
A dream you can fly in, a river to cry in
A magical trip to a fantasy island
It's our horizon to widen, our ceiling to heighten
Our mind to enlighten, our soul to divine in
A time to invite in a moment of silence
And we gon' dance it out
Loud and proud
'Cause I'ma show you how
Yeah, when I pray (when I pray)
I move my feet (move my feet)
And I say thank you for the sound
When I hear that beat
It brings me closer (closer)
To who I am (who I am)
And all I'm supposed to be right now
Is a giving man
And serve you water (water)
From the living well (the living well)
Uh, to help another get out of their hell
Gotta give a little piece of yourself and
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Yeah, we can help each other (help each other)
Uh, we can help each other (help each other)
Uh, we can make love, make love
Make love, make love
Yeah, we can help each other (help each other)
Uh, we can help each other (help each other)
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Help each other
Help each other
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
You don't need them anymore
Lay down the weapons that you use against the world
We don't need another war
Put down the weapons that you use against yourself
You don't need them anymore
Lay down the weapons that you use against the world
We don't need another war
My worst crime is an inside job
Dark thoughts taking over like an inside mob
I tune in to the scene between the eyes
And take a breath
I sit still and watch the thoughts flow past me
Never mind the future, never mind what the past be
I like to jump and let the universe catch me
Free fall, watch the beauty blow past me
I keep my pockets light, destination in sight
I keep my actions elevated to compassionate heights
I'm walking pacified, laying down arms in the night
Choosing love when I pick up this mic, so we can
Make love, make love, not war
Make love, make love, not war
Make love, make love, not war
Make love, make love, make love, make love
World peace begins within
In each beat of the heart underneath our skin

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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
Radiohead

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
