Here To Stay

KoЯn

This time I'm taking it away, I've got a problem
With me getting in the way, my violent side
so i take my face and bash it into a mirror
i wont have to see the pain.
Bleed, bleed!

This state is elevating as the hurt turns into hating
anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

the hurt inside is fading
this shit's gone way too far
all this time i've been waiting
oh i can not grieve anymore
for what's inside awaking
I'm done, I'm not a whore
you've taken everything and
oh i can not give anymore

My minds done with this
okay i've got a question
can i throw it all away
take back what's mine
so i take my time
riding the blade down the line
each cut, closer to the vein

this state is elevating as the hurt turns into hating
anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

My hurt inside is fading
this shit's gone way too far
all this time i've been waiting
oh i can not grieve anymore
for what's inside awaking
im done, im not a whore
you've taken everything and
oh i can not give anymore

I'm here to stay (bring it down)
Bring it down!
Bringin' it down
gonna break it down
Bringin' it down (repeat)
gonna BREAK IT

This state is elevating as the hurt turns into hating
anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

the hurt inside is fading
this shit's gone way too far
all this time i've been waiting
oh i can not grieve anymore
for what's inside awaking
I'm done, I'm not a whore
you've taken everything and
oh i can not give anymore

give anymore

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
