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”
So sick, so sick of being tired
And oh so tired of being sick
We're both such magnificent liars
So crush me baby, I'm all ears
So obviously desperate, so desperately obvious
I'll give in one more time and feed you stupid lines all about "It's basic"
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
So sick, so sick of being tired
And oh so tired of being sick
Willing and ready to prove the worst of everything you said about
So obviously desperate, so desperately obvious
So good at setting bad examples
Listen, trick, I've had all I can handle
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
Think of all the fun you had (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time
We won't stand for
And think of all the days you spent alone (We won't stand for)
With just your TV set and I (Hazy eyes anymore)
I can barely smile (We won't stand for)
We won't stand for (Think of all the fun you've had)
Hazy eyes anymore (The finest line divides a night well spent)
We won't stand for (From a waste of time)
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore (Think of all the days you spent alone)
Hazy eyes anymore (With just your TV set and I)
We won't stand for
Well I can barely smile
Let's go
He's smoked out in the back of the van (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on
He's smoked out in the back of the van (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on
And oh so tired of being sick
We're both such magnificent liars
So crush me baby, I'm all ears
So obviously desperate, so desperately obvious
I'll give in one more time and feed you stupid lines all about "It's basic"
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
So sick, so sick of being tired
And oh so tired of being sick
Willing and ready to prove the worst of everything you said about
So obviously desperate, so desperately obvious
So good at setting bad examples
Listen, trick, I've had all I can handle
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
Think of all the fun you had (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time
We won't stand for
And think of all the days you spent alone (We won't stand for)
With just your TV set and I (Hazy eyes anymore)
I can barely smile (We won't stand for)
We won't stand for (Think of all the fun you've had)
Hazy eyes anymore (The finest line divides a night well spent)
We won't stand for (From a waste of time)
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore (Think of all the days you spent alone)
Hazy eyes anymore (With just your TV set and I)
We won't stand for
Well I can barely smile
Let's go
He's smoked out in the back of the van (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on
He's smoked out in the back of the van (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on

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.

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
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.
does anyone else here think this band is incredible? i heard them and i thought they were alright at first, then i saw them live. amazing performance, you wanted to cry it was just so brilliant. a lot of people aren't seeming to like tbs, but i think they are the next great thing in the underground scene, i really hope they stay somewhat local to the scene before MTV gets a hold of them and they become washed up nothings. they deserve greatness
