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”
You weren't suppose to bleed with me
Sometimes these things just happen
Before you take it way too far
You gotta know that this will never happen
Confessions
They're so dull
They'll only kill you one by one
So just go
'Cause you know
I'll do it again and again
You know there's only seconds left
We've waited for so long
You're not so easily impressed
How am I supposed to get out of this one
I'll take what's mine and walk away
And with a face like yours you don't need a heart
So go ahead say what you want to say
'Cause I'll close my fist and this will never happen
Confessions
They're so dull
They'll only kill you one by one
So just go
'Cause you know
I'll do it again and again
You know there's only seconds left
We've waited for so long
You're not so easily impressed
How am I supposed to get out of this one
How am I supposed to get out of this one
How am I supposed to get out of this one
My body and soul
My body and soul
Was chosen
My body and soul
My body and soul
Was chosen
Confessions
They're so dull
They'll only kill you one by one
So just go
Cause you know
I'll do it again and again
You know there's only seconds left
We've waited for so long
You're not so easily impressed
How am I supposed to get out of this one
Sometimes these things just happen
Before you take it way too far
You gotta know that this will never happen
Confessions
They're so dull
They'll only kill you one by one
So just go
'Cause you know
I'll do it again and again
You know there's only seconds left
We've waited for so long
You're not so easily impressed
How am I supposed to get out of this one
I'll take what's mine and walk away
And with a face like yours you don't need a heart
So go ahead say what you want to say
'Cause I'll close my fist and this will never happen
Confessions
They're so dull
They'll only kill you one by one
So just go
'Cause you know
I'll do it again and again
You know there's only seconds left
We've waited for so long
You're not so easily impressed
How am I supposed to get out of this one
How am I supposed to get out of this one
How am I supposed to get out of this one
My body and soul
My body and soul
Was chosen
My body and soul
My body and soul
Was chosen
Confessions
They're so dull
They'll only kill you one by one
So just go
Cause you know
I'll do it again and again
You know there's only seconds left
We've waited for so long
You're not so easily impressed
How am I supposed to get out of this one

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
I LOVE this song so much!!
CONFESSIONS!!!! THEYRE SO DULL!!!! THEYLL ONLY KILL YOU ONE BY ONE!!!!
good song...
umm so i came here to find a meaning but since there isn't one i'll take a shot...
but this is a total guess so ya know comment what the actual meaning is when i'm wrong.
some of the lyrics suggest something like, the guy that's singing cheats on his girlfriend but she still wants to be with him, or possibly something along those lines.
what it means to me, granted i'm in no way saying i'm right. i doubt i'm even close.... maybe about a break up or something liek that... going through something of the same so maybe just imagining that it relates lol...
'you weren't supposed to bleed with me sometimes these things just happen' could mean that he was with her and he knew he was going to get hurt out of it, but he didn't want her to get hurt too but she still ended up that way.
'before you take it way too far, you gotta know that this will never happen' maybe that he wanted to be with her and told her all of these things and she believed him and wanted it too but now he's confessing that what they wanted could never really happen...
'confessions they're so dull they'll only kill you one by one' he hates telling her they can't be together because he wants to be and him telling her that they can never be is killing him
'so just go cause you know i'll do it again and again' telling her to just leave and get over him because he's not going to be able to stop whatever is keeping them from being together
'you know there's only seconds left we've waited for so long you're not so easily impressed' maybe that he knows she's going to stop talking to him soon because she's so upset that they can't be together after waiting for such a long time for him, and now she's not as loving and everything towards him now so what he does, doesnt easily impress her like it did.
'how am i supposed to get out of this one...' he doesnt know how to make the situation better, he doesnt want her to be sad and mad at him so he's trying to figure out a way to make it better but he can't find a way.
'i'll take what's mine and walk away and with a face like yours you don't need a heart so go ahead and say what you wanna say cause i'll close my fist and this will never happen' he has to leave... and maybe she's telling him how heartbroken she is, so he's telling her she's gorgeous so it doesnt matter if her heart's broken she doesnt need it, she can have anyone she wants so she shouldn't be sad, or maybe she cheated on him yet is still saying her hearts broken so he's telling her she's not the only one with a broken heart but that she can get who she wants... but she really wants him so she's upset and probably saying mean things to him or begging him to stay, but he's closing his fist and telling her it will never happen, maybe closing his fist because it hurts him so much to tell her it can't happen
'my body and soul was chosen' maybe that it was destiny for them to meet, he was chosen to be with her, but he was also chosen for whatever it is that's keeping them together, distance, mentality... whatever is making the situation even more tough.
meh i gave it a shot don't think i'm even close... but only one other person has commented lol
