Sunshine

Aerosmith

I sold my soul for a one night stand
I followed Alice into Wonderland
I ate the mushroom and I danced with the queen
Yeah we danced in between all the lines
I followed daylight right into the dark
Took to the Hatter like a walk in the park
But then I met her yeah she felt so right
No child of the night yeah was she
They called her sunshine
The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah
Sunshine
She finer than a painted rose...yeah yeah
Sunshine...yeah
Her kind of love's what I adore
What kind of trouble am I in for
My kinda heaven lies at hell's back door
And I got more than I need
'Cuz I need sunshine
The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah
My sunshine
She finer than a painted rose...yeah yeah
Sunshine...yeah
Fffff...I got the karma but it don't come free
I'll chase that rabbit up her booty tree
The caterpillar's tryin' to cop a plea
But the smoke ain't got nothin' on me
Ya gotta have my sunshine
The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah
The sunshine
She finer than a painted rose...yeah yeah
Sunshine
The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah
My sunshine
She finer than a painted rose... yeah yeah
Sunshine
Sunshine...yeah

    I think i read somewhere awhile ago that it was about being on LSD and he did a girl on his parents' bed! :) i think when he was 17...(not sure but something to that effect)

    it's fairly obvious that this song is about being on a trip (drugs), but sunshine isn't a girl, it's either heroin or lsd, I can't remember what drug they said it was. I'm sure I heard Steve Tyler say so in an interview. It makes sense if you think about it.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
