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”
Walking like you're sucking velvet snow
Walking like you're sucking velvet snow
Starting on your story and go go
Oh walking like you're sucking velvet snow
Going 'cause you're sweating on our floor
Going 'cause you're sweating on our floor
Acting like you've never dance no more
Oh going 'cause you're sweating on our floor
Then you go and when you go
You get top floor and when you back you go slower
Turn out the lights cause they're coming bright
And then you go
Hope that smoke ain't getting to you're face
Hope that smoke ain't getting to you're face
Showing off you're Sunday shaved and lacy
Hope that smoke ain't getting to you're face
Then you go and when you go
You get top floor and when you back you go slower
Turn out the lights cause they're coming bright
And then you go
And then you go and when you go
You get top floor and when you back you go slower
Turn out the lights cause they're coming bright
And then you go
Little Jo she warned me mot to call you
Stoked that you were carrying some bad news
Leave it up to me and I'll just drown you
Out into the city that you came from
Walking like you're sucking velvet snow
Starting on your story and go go
Oh walking like you're sucking velvet snow
Going 'cause you're sweating on our floor
Going 'cause you're sweating on our floor
Acting like you've never dance no more
Oh going 'cause you're sweating on our floor
Then you go and when you go
You get top floor and when you back you go slower
Turn out the lights cause they're coming bright
And then you go
Hope that smoke ain't getting to you're face
Hope that smoke ain't getting to you're face
Showing off you're Sunday shaved and lacy
Hope that smoke ain't getting to you're face
Then you go and when you go
You get top floor and when you back you go slower
Turn out the lights cause they're coming bright
And then you go
And then you go and when you go
You get top floor and when you back you go slower
Turn out the lights cause they're coming bright
And then you go
Little Jo she warned me mot to call you
Stoked that you were carrying some bad news
Leave it up to me and I'll just drown you
Out into the city that you came from

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
apparently this song is meant to be about talking to someone who's on cocaine. well, that's what i think i remember the interview saying.
i would find taht to actually make sense...being about cocaine i mean. snow, sweating, etc.
yeah i can see where it's coming from with the cocaine.& speaking about a woman friend who is to much to handle.
im mayb wrong but im sure he is singing "glowing cause your sweating on the floor glowing cause your sweating on the floor dancing like you'll never dance no more,
and then you go, and when you go, u get to going way to fast & im so slow, turn out the light, she's a coming to fight, & then she'll go.
death row smoking getting to your face, showing off tour something shaved & lacey., death row smoking getting to your face,
i might just be hearing what i wanna eh.! ha
I hear the same thing, Kicks.
THESE LYRICS ARE TOTALLY FUCKED UP
HOPE THAT SMOKE AINT GETTIN TO MY FACE= DEATH ROW SMOKIN GETTIN TO YOUR FACE
AND THE LAST VERSE IS LITTLE JO SHE WARNED ME NOT TO CALL YOU STOKED THAT YOU WERE CARRYIN SOME BAD NEWS TALK TO ME AND I JUS DROWN OH GO BACK TO THE CITY WHERE YOU COME FROM
Walking like you’re stuck in velvet snow Walking like you’re stuck in velvet snow Start in on your story and I’ll go Walking like you’re stuck in velvet snow
Glowing cause you’re sweating on the floor, Glowing cause you’re sweating on the floor Dancing like you’ll never dance no more Glowing cause you’re sweating on the floor
And then you go, and when you go You get to going way to fast, I’m so slow Turn out the lights, she’s coming to fight, And then she’ll go
Death row smoking getting to your face Death row smoking getting to your face Showing off your something shaved and lacy Death row smoking getting to your face
Little jo’ she warned me not to call you’ Stoked that you were carrying some bad news Leave it up to me and I’ll just drown you Out into the city where you came from
So, ignoring the fact the lyrics written are wrong; what is this song about? I believe (referring to teh real lyrics) Which are the last one's written
what is it you believe.....exactly?
I actually thought he said, “whore” in the first verse, which sounded cool, but the drug reference with “snow” is a lot better – his accent is so prevalent!
the first time i heard the second half of the verse i thought he was saying 'going cause you're sweatin on our floor, whore'
hahah
