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”
Stop
Slow down, baby
Slow down, baby
Slow down, baby
Slow down, baby
Stop
Slow down, baby
Whoa, yeah (Slow down, baby)
Oh (Slow down, baby)
Hey (Slow down, baby)
Whoa, oh (Stop, slow down, baby)
I can tell that you're into me, uh
Baby, it's so plain to see
I can see it in your eyes
You're paralyzed
Every time I pass you by
You're the kind that gets your way, uh
Every minute, every single day
I can see it all in your face
You're blown away
'Cause I don't want you in my space
You're struttin' 'round here like you think that I can't do without you
You got some nerve to think that I would give up everything
Slow down, baby
And don't act crazy
Don't you know you can look all you want but you just can't touch? (just can't touch, no)
So slow down, baby (hey)
I'm not your lady (lady)
Boy, you're never gonna get it from me 'cause I'm with someone
Slow it down
Slow it down
Oh, oh, whoa
Slow it
Slow it
Stop
Slow down, baby
After all of the games you played
How's it feel to finally get a taste?
You can dish it out, but can you take the bed you've made?
Boy, and it's gonna change
I'm not falling for your stupid lies
I know you've dished them 'bout thousand times
Saying nothing but a nursery rhyme
But I won't buy it
Baby, don't you even try
You comin' 'round here like you think that everything's about you
If you knew anything, you'd realize I'm wearing a ring
Slow down, baby (Slow down)
And don't act crazy (crazy, hey)
Don't you know you can look all you want but you just can't touch? (You just can't touch, no)
So slow down, baby (Slow down)
I'm not your lady (your lady)
Boy, you're never gonna get it from me 'cause I'm with someone (with someone, yeah)
Do you really wanna waste your time?
Don't you have better things to do with life?
Hey, yeah
Whoa
Listen, I don't wanna get you down
But I ain't never gonna mess around
So how many ways do I have to say
Oh, oh, oh

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.

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.
its about the bloke who loves himself and thinks that hes gods gift and cant believe it that shes rejecting him.
