Daddy's girl is shopping for a perfect day
And her words are full of empty things to say

Her shit stained smile
Is out of style
It's been that way
For quite a while
Everyone is telling me I'll never win,
If I fall in love with a girl from Marin

Daddy's girl has overflowing confidence
And her world is filling up with hollow friends

Her shit stained smile
Is out of style
It's been that way
For quite a while
Everyone is telling me I'll never win,
If I fall in love with a girl from Marin

Daddy's girl is growing colder every day
And our worlds are never gonna be the same

Her shit stained smile
Is out of style
It's been that way
For quite a while
Everyone is telling me I'll never win,
If I fall in love with a girl from Marin
Everyone is telling me I'll never win,
If I fall in love again

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.

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.
