what is this world, what is this we’ve created
in the burdens of this life i cannot rest
this world means nothing
everything we hold will pass away
with a void of completion comfort will ever fade
i long for this wind to cease
we once held undying devotion
now dead to our thoughts, undefined like our love

    I believe this song deals with the mess we make out of our lives and how unintended the state of our existence really is.

    The lyrics this world means nothing. everything we hold will pass away deals with the finite nature of reality as we know it, and the time coming when this world comes to an abrupt end.

    I long for this wind to cease could deal with the turbulent state of life on earth and how the group hopes for its conclusion.

    this song is about the abscence of meaning to the world we live in today, it basically is telling peeps that this world and everything in it will vanish one day and you will have nothing left, what will be your legacy you leave behind what will be instore for you when you die, cuz in heaven the world below is nothing only the "the thing we've created" mean anything.

    Im surprised no one notices the christian reference. I think he's talking about heaven and how that this world is nothing because you eventually move on to a godly state in heaven. It really sounds like some pretty devout dark christian views, great song.

    I think everyone else pretty much hit the nail on the head. I love this line though...

    "we once held undying devotion now dead to our thoughts, undefined like our love"

    We once had an idea of what real love looked like, and now all we have left is a twisted version of what we call "love"

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
