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 will never want to date you while I can learn to hate you.
If you somehow learn to love me,
well, that's just my luck.
I would never care if you only wanted my friendship,
but somehow you're disappointed that I'm not a slut.
I don't want to fuck you, so fuck you.
I my mind there is no doubt that
you've been in and out of many different backseats,
many times before.
I can always see your defeat when
I won't leave the front seat.
And it seems your disappointed that I'm not a whore.
If you somehow learn to love me,
well, that's just my luck.
I would never care if you only wanted my friendship,
but somehow you're disappointed that I'm not a slut.
I don't want to fuck you, so fuck you.
I my mind there is no doubt that
you've been in and out of many different backseats,
many times before.
I can always see your defeat when
I won't leave the front seat.
And it seems your disappointed that I'm not a whore.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
haha...very self explanitory wouldnt you say?
I like this song and I don't like this song. It's upbeat and all that jazz. But .. it's not really a song that has outstandingly great lyrics and .. you definitly can't listen to it in the car with your Mother. Well, you could...but. I always seem to cringe at the word <b>fuck</b> when my Mom is around.
This song is awesome and to glowing me i say:
I absolutely LOVE this song. I think it was the first song I heard by AFI, either this or God Called In Sick Today. Its completely awesome, and its not jus asong about girls, I have turned down guys that are like the chick in this song. So, yeah....
Punk in drublic says... yep, obvious what this song means... or is it? Maybe to me it says that Davey has a lot of fans that want to sleep with him, but he's not that kinda.. slutty guy that just gets a lot of pussy because he can... like relationships and sex means more to him and just because he's a preformer doesn't mean beacuse he can get it, he will.
Glowing me, I want to attack you. How can you say these are not great lyrics? They are so amazing and so expalnitory they're pure genius. It has so much meaning! I know alot of people who are all "Pfft, no ass no show" so it's good song in that aspect.
yeah i think this song is really good! because it does have meaning and im not a huge fan of afi, but i can really relate to this song, and thats why it's so cool! and why it kicks ass!
this song rocks....i just hope no guy ever plays it for me..
haha.. great song
Don't we all hate sluts? Davey obviously does.......
