In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Come on! Hey! Don't
Tell us what you want,'cause we don't
Give a fuck about you and your kind
You! You better take a step back where ever
The fuck you came from
No! You ain't one of us and to be tag along
You're too ugly and blunt
Why? Is it so hard to get that we don't
Need you, stupid cunt!
If you don't know how to resent one another
To gain the new way of power,
It'll get to the point where no one gives a fuck
What you may think of us or what you may not
Stop! Are you ever gonna stop tryin' to be
On the way that we want to go?
Fuck! It's pissing the fuck out of us when
You don't understand the word, no
Now, you're tellin' that you'll win the
War that's only battled 'cause you're
Too dumb to die, That's right!
You can take your war and shove it up your
Ass, then close your eyes and say goodbye
If you don't know how to resent one another
To gain the new way of power
It'll get to the point where no one gives a fuck
What you may think of us or what you may not
We're hate crew, we stand and we won't fall
We're all for none and none for all
Fuck you! We'll fight til' the last hit
And we sure as hell ain't taking no shit
Tell us what you want,'cause we don't
Give a fuck about you and your kind
You! You better take a step back where ever
The fuck you came from
No! You ain't one of us and to be tag along
You're too ugly and blunt
Why? Is it so hard to get that we don't
Need you, stupid cunt!
If you don't know how to resent one another
To gain the new way of power,
It'll get to the point where no one gives a fuck
What you may think of us or what you may not
Stop! Are you ever gonna stop tryin' to be
On the way that we want to go?
Fuck! It's pissing the fuck out of us when
You don't understand the word, no
Now, you're tellin' that you'll win the
War that's only battled 'cause you're
Too dumb to die, That's right!
You can take your war and shove it up your
Ass, then close your eyes and say goodbye
If you don't know how to resent one another
To gain the new way of power
It'll get to the point where no one gives a fuck
What you may think of us or what you may not
We're hate crew, we stand and we won't fall
We're all for none and none for all
Fuck you! We'll fight til' the last hit
And we sure as hell ain't taking no shit

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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'

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/

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.
I don't believe they're referring to the war in the middle east. It seems like they're bashing posers...you know...those goobers that swap "themes." For instance, I know a guy who has transformed from redneck to rapper to punk to hardcore. Now he thinks because he knows a couple of Metallica songs and has heard of Mudvayne, he is ultimate metal! Not even close. I think the Hate Crew is getting at these people who try so hard to fit in but just won't cut it. They do it for image, not because they like it. I hate them, and apparently so does Children of Bodom.
