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.
I am cornered... i am trapped....
Something inside my head just snapped!
Unlocked the inner beast, set out to feast
on the blood ,of the ones that i loved,
the ones that i hated,
But who the hell cares, lifes over-rated
Sick state of mind, happens all the time
Losing sanity but everything is fine
Set out to hunt the ones that i cared for,
tear 'em apart in a mad rage, violent, gore,
Everything happens so fast I CANT TAKE ANYMORE!!!!
I CUT MY WRIST, I WATCH THE BLOOD FLOW!
I'VE FINALLY SNAPPED, NOW YOU KNOW,
NOW YOU KNOW,
but really, what didja expect,
you knew from the start i was nothin' but a reject,
And you could tell, by the look in my eyes,
That i'm a junky freak that ain't a surprise
But the one true thing you never could tell,
My anger was rising like a bat outta hell
I've got the brain of psycho path,
See who gets the last laugh...
You see whats on the outside but do you know whats at the core?
An empty mess that CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE!!!!!
I CUT MY WRIST, I WATCH THE BLOOD FLOW!
I'VE FINALLY SNAPPED, NOW YOU KNOW,
NOW YOU KNOW,
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
i am alone....no one around.....
trapped in a vortex, no light, no sound,
floating in thin air, feet don't touch the ground,
I'M GONNA STAY HERE FOREVER, UNTIL I'M FOUND!!!!!
UNTIL I'M FOOOOOUND..... I'M FOOOOUUUUND, I'M........

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song is about losing your mind, like wen everything goes wrong and you feel like you can't deal with it. This is just kind of a crazy song to scream out when you're pissed.
wow. this is... really good. though, i wouldn't really relate cutting to being pissed off. but still; wow.
sounds like they kept all their feelings inside until everything sorta exploded out. it drove them insane ot keep it all bottled up and thats where the cutting part comes in. all in all (sic) song
if your pissed off,dont cut,just write....like i do
That's what I did... it's more like mentally cutting, abusing yourself in your mind, leaving scars in your memories.... I think everyone has a point in life where they just wanna break down and scream at the world and lose respect for themselves and thats what this is about
hum...that's write..but you could have done a better song....
