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.
I know this will be something I remember in my head
Something I remember
Sharp words push me back, hanging on to anything I can
Anything I can
Why do you tell me only things I want to hear?
Why don't you tell me this could just disappear?
At the same time (At the same time)
You keep tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
Cant stop I'm soaked tonight, wanna find something I believe
Something I believe
Open up, take me in, makes no sense, help me understand
Help me understand
Why do you tell me only things I want to hear?
Why don't you tell me this could just disappear?
You tell me of pirate-ships and fairy-tales
You have me wishing that everything was real
At the same time, at the same time
You keep tracking treasure down
At the same time, at the same time, at the same time
At the same time (At the same time)
At the same time
Why do you tell me only things I want to hear?
Why don't you tell me this could just disappear?
At the same time (At the same time)
You keep tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
Something I remember
Sharp words push me back, hanging on to anything I can
Anything I can
Why do you tell me only things I want to hear?
Why don't you tell me this could just disappear?
At the same time (At the same time)
You keep tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
Cant stop I'm soaked tonight, wanna find something I believe

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is about a relationship that needs to end.
"I know this will be something I remember in my head" "Sharp words push me back hanging on to anything I can"
Here she is referring to the talk she is about to have with her boyfriend, sharp words are threating the relationship which neither of them want to end.
"Why do you tell me only things I want to hear" "Why don't you tell me, this can just disappear"
The boyfriend tells her everything is fine and the relationship is not in danger.
"At the same time you keep tracking treasure down"
Treasure here is referring to other women, this is the ultimate problem in the relationship, is that the man is in it because he does not want to be single but he is really just looking for someone better to come along.
"Can't stop, I'm soaked tonight, wanna find something I believe"
She can't stop interrogating him because she is "soaked" with information about his secret. She's just looking for some proof that he loves her and isn't waiting for the next best thing.
"Open up take me in, makes no sense help me understand"
He has opened up to her and they know a lot about each other, she doesn't understand why he doesn't love her as much as she loves him.
"You tell me of pirate-ships and fairytales, you have me wishing everything was real"
Basically he keeps telling her the relationship is perfect and that she doesn't have anything to worry about. I like the use of pirate-ship and fairytale because fairytale goes well with describing the fake relationship and pirate-ship goes well with the tracking treasure down analogy.
To sum it all up, the girl singing the song is with a man who she has fallen in love with, but he is only with her because he doesn't want to be single and he's only waiting for the next best thing to show up. She keeps hearing stories from other people about his true views on their relationship and how he is only looking for a better girl( i think this is implied because gabriel and dresden sing the chorus in the song, showing how they are telling her about the relationship ).
