You make we want to wear dresses
You make we want to wear dresses
You look at me so fragile

Take me to your castle
It feels so good in there
Much much safer in your castle
Mine got lost somewhere
You make we want to wear dresses
You make we want to wear dresses
You look at me so fragile

You make me think about nothing
It feels so good like that
You look at me so fragile

So full of desire
Wide wide open spaces
You make me want to wear dresses
Wide wide open spaces

You make me want to wear dresses
You make me want to wear dresses
You look at me so fragile

Wide wide open spaces
Wide wide open spaces
Take me to your castle
It feels so good in there
Much much safer in your castle
Mine got lost somewhere
You make me want to wear dresses
You make me want to wear dresses
Its much much safer in my dresses
You make me want to wear dresses

    I always picture these dresses as flowery prints, and longer. Not, in this case, emphasizing sexuality necessarily, but a definite femininity; a feeling of being pretty and girly, and the vulnerability (and the power?) that goes along with that. To be found in this relationship between "me" and "you".

    The "wide, wide open spaces" gives the impression of freedom and of endless possibility, and "your" castle (vision and perspective and love) is a fantastical fortress protecting "me" from the outside world.

    Just an incredible song.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
