Phoebe Cates

Fenix TX

Don't want to hang around anyone today
I'm sick of playing the same old games
'Cause I know I can't win them anyway
And I will dream a different lie

Stuck in between her thighs and wonder just when I will meet her
All I really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy
And every night I'll dream that she is here with me

And i will be the only one for her
And I'm wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine
I've been in love since the day I saw fast times

It's on a permanent rewind and can you guess my favorite part
I used to like tossing off to her pool scene
Now I'm kissing TV screens
She's the only star who's touched my heart on

All i really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy and every night I'll dream that she is here with me
And i will be the only one for her
And I'm looking for a fast time

Watching out for bright lights
Send me off to private school
When I'm with you it's paradise
Looking for a fast time

Watching out for bright lights
Send me off to private school
When I'm with you it's paradise
When I'm with you it's paradise

When I'm with you it's paradise
When I'm with you it's paradise
All I really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy and every night I'll dream that she is here with me

And I will be the only one for her
And I'm wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight

Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
