I said wait! Can't believe it [Repeat x2]

Another victim another life another wasted casualty
The youth are shooting, robbing and looting
Violence plagues society

In LA. you see it everyday on your TV on your front page
You can try but you can't wish it away

I said wait can't believe [Repeat x2]

It drunk and loaded in the street
Hatred flowing through their veins no respect for human life
A world that slowly goes insane

In LA. you see it everyday on your TV on your front page
You can try but you can't wish it away

(away)

I said wait can't believe [Repeat x2]

On your front page on your TV it's the endless urban tragedy
In your dark thoughts and wildest dreams can you imagine
A worse society and when I think I can pretend
I turn on my TV again and all the fucked up things I see
I can't believe how this can be.

I said wait can't believe [Repeat x2]

    This is what's going on in my head a lot lately. They subtly give you a trick here, turn off your tv/radio and don't buy newspapers, concentrate on your life and how to improve yours and the lives of the people whom you love.

    Just one week without listening to the news and I eat a lot less Valium! It works!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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.
