I hate waking up it means that I have to die again tonight
35 years old and I'm still sleeping outside
Yeah I think I know your face I don't want to to know your name
I won't give in I'm not like that
I won't give in

You say it's Christmas Eve that don't mean nothing to me
Just another fucked up day just another waste of time
You wonder why I live like this man you just won't understand
I won't give in I'm not like that
Yeah, I won't give in

You smart ass college fuck
Act like you think you're tough
I was just like you
More pride than you could know
Think you pity me

I'll kick your ass if you pity me
I won't give in I'm not like that
No, I won't give in to you
Just go away

You college boy act like you think you're tall
I won't give in I'm not like that
No, I won't give in

    I think this is sung from the perspective of a homeless man. Someone offers him help, but he won't take it cuz it will mean giving up his pride.

    i'm pretty sure this is an art song. i mean, they're all art songs, but you know what i mean. ;)

    he struggled with drug addiction and all that jazz...i think this is a song saying that he doesn't need the quote-unquote 'successful' people pitying him...that he dug himself this hole, he wants to get out of it himself...all that kind of thing.

    I've heard that this was a song written for Art's friend who was shot and killed by an insane homeless man.

    i love this song. and you're right. i believe this is in the view of a guy..not necisarrily homeless..but in trouble. and i believe that he has more pride than most people realize. they don't give him enough credit, but he'll show them all someday.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Punchline
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 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.
