Too many fools blocking my motion
Clouding my eyes must be the potion
Spots on my eyes must be the lotion

Love in a void it's so numb
Avoid in love it's so dumb
Love in a void

Too many bigots for my liking
Too many critics too few writing
Rabid dogs that aren't biting

Love in a void it's so numb
Avoid in love it's so dumb
Love in a void

Jaded reputation on which you're staking
Lots of money for the making
For all the stars they're just faking

Love in a void it's so numb
Avoid in love it's so dumb
Love in a void

    I think this is obviously an anti-love song. She has been turned off not only by the lack of response to her expressions of desire, but she is also disgusted by humanity's lack of verve in general. She is left feeling as though she exists in the midst of emotional apathy where true passionate intent doesn't ever really come into play.

    I think it is about not just romantic love, but any kind of passion and the fact that it is all fake. Everyone is just going along with whatever is the popular opinion, or whatever makes them the most money and that they act falsely to get it.

    I think this song is actually about the music industry and not romantic love as such. The word "bigots" was originally "jews" by which Siouxsie claimed she meant businessmen in general, but note also the lines about critics, stars and making money. I think "love in a void" refers to all the pop songs about romantic love, which the punks disdained and felt were fake (see also John Lydon's remarks about "two minutes of squelching", various Gang of Four songs etc).

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
