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.
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep?
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep?
They set their scales up so high
You'd think they'd fall from the fuckin' sky
And I can't sing the words that i don't know yet
I don't have the words
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep?
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep?
(Down-down)
I'm already down with that (Already down)
I'm already
Half asleep, but i can't close my eyes till i get home
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep? (I lie awake, for now)
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep? (I lie awake, for now)
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep? (I lie awake, for now)
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep? (I lie awake, for now)
(Down-down)
I'm already down with that (Already down)
I'm already
Half asleep, but i can't close my eyes till i get home
They set their scales up so high
They set their scales up too high
They set their scales up so high
They set their scales up too high (Baduh dada dada)
They set their scales up so high (Baduh dada dada)
They set their scales up too high (Baduh dada dada)
They set their scales up so high (Baduh dada dada)
They set their scales up too high (Baduh dada dada)
He sounded so lonely (Baduh dada dada)
He sounded so lonely (Baduh dada dada)
He sounded so lonely (Baduh dada dada)
He sounded so lonely
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep?
They set their scales up so high
You'd think they'd fall from the fuckin' sky
And I can't sing the words that i don't know yet
I don't have the words
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep?
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep?
(Down-down)
I'm already down with that (Already down)
I'm already
Half asleep, but i can't close my eyes till i get home
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep? (I lie awake, for now)
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep? (I lie awake, for now)
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep? (I lie awake, for now)
Should I take a bath, or should I go to sleep? (I lie awake, for now)
(Down-down)
I'm already down with that (Already down)
I'm already
Half asleep, but i can't close my eyes till i get home
They set their scales up so high
They set their scales up too high
They set their scales up so high
They set their scales up too high (Baduh dada dada)
They set their scales up so high (Baduh dada dada)
They set their scales up too high (Baduh dada dada)
They set their scales up so high (Baduh dada dada)
They set their scales up too high (Baduh dada dada)
He sounded so lonely (Baduh dada dada)
He sounded so lonely (Baduh dada dada)
He sounded so lonely (Baduh dada dada)
He sounded so lonely

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
i always have this dilemma. :[
but is the meaning so obvious?
same here
My idea is that within these sort of trivial decisions we face everyday lies a sort of despair and ennui that we have to suffer through and the lamentation of the high cheerful expressions that the world wants us to put on. As someone who suffers with depression off and on I can definitely relate to the tone of this song deeply. These simple yet direct lyrics are part of the many reasons why Pinback is my favorite band.
