Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

And it don't mean I don't love you
When I put a gun to your face
It just means I wanna get rough with you

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be al-
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

And it don't mean I don't love you
When I put a gun to your face
It just means I wanna get rough with you

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be al-
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

And it don't mean I don't love you
When I put a gun to your face
It just means I wanna get rough with you

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be al-
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

    I always figured it was sadism? Sadism, tough love, whatever.

    i love this song. it's catchy. it could mean a number of different things. i think it's either about rape, sadism, or tough love. haven't decided yet.

    For me the song is about freaking out, doing crazy things and having fun. Normally, to put a gun to another person's face is something threatening and hate-filled. But here it does not mean that the one person is not loving the other one but it means that he or she wants to be rude. This is not supposed to hurt the other person which is expressed by the words "baby's gonna be alright". Looked at that way, the title of the song -Baby's Gonna Die Tonight- is rather ironic or is illustrating how all the nasty things must look to outsiders.

    Anyway, this is just my idea of it. "Though love" would be a good general description, although I don't think it is necessarily about love. Maybe it's just a night-lasting crush or something.

    I think it's about abusive relationships. How, often, people who are being abused (or, for that matter, abusive) don't realize it. That's how I see it, anyway.

    Either that or it's about hardcore S&M.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
