This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's like watching murder through your fingers at the theatre
It's like finding out Klaus Barbie was your neighbour... only weirder
And when I saw you on the tube...
With a six-foot cop on either side of you...
That's when I knew
That's when I knew, that's when I knew
All the pain that was shacked up inside of you
Well, so long Bernie you're the friend I never knew
And never will
I never will
She didn't even know your name
But you put a six-inch blade inside her all the same
She couldn't possibly know why
And when you became Doctor Jekyll you knew you had to hide
And when you became Doctor Jekyll you knew you had to hide
So now I know, yeah, now I know
All the pain that was in your mind is still inside your soul
Well so long Bernie you're the friend I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know
know, know, know
You're the beast inside us all
The straw that breaks
The wire that snaps
You're all the pressure built up in this pitiful machine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So, now your mind is full of blood
A simple scream in place of every single thing you've done
They found her in a field
And when they found you swinging, well no one shed a tear
When they found you dangling, well, no one shed a tear
Ah, when they found you hanging...
Why would they shed a tear?
Why shed one tear?
Well now I know, yeah, now I know
I look at strangers different than I did a year ago
But you know Bernie it's my closest friends I'd better get to know
I'd better get to know
I'd better get to know
Now I know, now I know
I'd better get to know
Now I know, now I know
I'd better get to know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'd better get to know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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
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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
"This just struck me as a terrifying idea. What if you don't know your friends as well as you thought you did? I think this was triggered by some t.v. sound-byte that I saw in passing and it started me thinking about the whole "he seemed like such a quiet guy" scenario. What if Klaus Barbie lived next door? What if Klaus Kinski lived next door? What if the person who invented Barbie lived next door? Think about it." --Ron Hawkins
