This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I can sit and watch it right before my eyes
I'd rather just ignore it than just act surprised
I can barely stand, I can hardly fall
Everything is so slow, everything is so small
Little sections make it to me
But I think I see everything
In a second, in a second, in a second will the world end?
I can't deny it that I'm in another place
What's all around me, all I see is just the face
Values of all the things, to me it's just a taste
Take a bite, I want to taste it
I really want to chew it up, but I can't swallow
I've been to places where you hide
I'm wondering who you are
I wanna cut you up and look inside
I think about it, think about it, never seems to come true
I can't stop the bleeding, guess the cut is misunderstood
Misunderstood
I've been to places where you hide
I'm wondering who you are
I wanna cut you up and look inside
I think about it, think about it, never seems to come true
I can't feed desire, guess the point is misunderstood
I think about it, think about it, never turns out too good
I don't get the living part, guess the world is misunderstood
I think about it, think about it, always do what I should
I never play with fire, guess the heat is misunderstood
I think about it, think about it, never turns out too good
I'm in love with fighting, I guess the pain is misunderstood
I think about it, think about it, never seems to come true
I can't stop the bleeding, I guess the cut is misunderstood
I'd rather just ignore it than just act surprised
I can barely stand, I can hardly fall
Everything is so slow, everything is so small
Little sections make it to me
But I think I see everything
In a second, in a second, in a second will the world end?
I can't deny it that I'm in another place
What's all around me, all I see is just the face
Values of all the things, to me it's just a taste
Take a bite, I want to taste it
I really want to chew it up, but I can't swallow
I've been to places where you hide
I'm wondering who you are
I wanna cut you up and look inside
I think about it, think about it, never seems to come true
I can't stop the bleeding, guess the cut is misunderstood
Misunderstood
I've been to places where you hide
I'm wondering who you are
I wanna cut you up and look inside
I think about it, think about it, never seems to come true
I can't feed desire, guess the point is misunderstood
I think about it, think about it, never turns out too good
I don't get the living part, guess the world is misunderstood
I think about it, think about it, always do what I should
I never play with fire, guess the heat is misunderstood
I think about it, think about it, never turns out too good
I'm in love with fighting, I guess the pain is misunderstood
I think about it, think about it, never seems to come true
I can't stop the bleeding, I guess the cut is misunderstood

Little Feat
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

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.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
These are the wrong lyrics, they are to a song called 'Cut' though by Slowearth.
The correct ones are:
Jesse's gone inside out someone brush her quiet mouth charity's friend she was I know fill her cup and leave her alone
distance fails but it keeps her alive thinks that evil's on her side gets rid of things that don't matter she used to let me cut her hair
Jesse's gone inside out she used to let me cut her hair
