Said one cloud to the nest
How nice that we can reign
On the ground it seems they left
Want to wash away their pain
So don't fade out
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud

Said the doctor to her mother
There are days when I don't know where
But I know how I got here
Thanks for cheering for me all these years
And don't fade out
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud
And I would like to lay my riches down down
Yeah I would like to lay my riches down down and down
I would like to ohhh

Said the smile to the tear
Your the reason I am here
Ya know it's not everyday
That I have the chance to mean it when I say
Don't fade out ohhh no
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud
And I would like to lay my riches down down
Yeah I would like to lay my riches down down ohh
I would like to lay my riches down down down

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.

Head > Heels

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
