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”
Now I have finally accepted
We will never stand in the same room
I can never hear your voice of reason
At least you didn't, didn't feel a thing
When I was younger, you would tell me
That I should wait to grow up
That things don't go always as planned
At least you didn't, didn't feel a thing
No, you didn't, didn't have to feel a thing
No, you didn't feel
When I die, I'll be fine
'Cause I know you're always there
When I die, I'm alright
'Cause I know you'll be there, you are home
Now I'm standing at a crossroad
Don't know which path is calling me
I wanna follow in your footsteps
So you know you're never alone
No, you didn't, didn't have to feel a thing
No, you're never alone
When I die, I'll be fine
'Cause I know you're always there
When I die, I'm alright
'Cause I know you'll be there, you are home
I'm still here but I'm waiting
For our long conversations
I'm still here but I'm waiting to go home
When I die, I'll be fine
'Cause I know you're always there
When I die, I'm alright
'Cause I know you'll be there, you are home
(No, you didn't, didn't have to feel a thing)
No, you didn't, didn't have to feel a thing
You are home, you are home
We will never stand in the same room
I can never hear your voice of reason
At least you didn't, didn't feel a thing
When I was younger, you would tell me
That I should wait to grow up
That things don't go always as planned
At least you didn't, didn't feel a thing
No, you didn't, didn't have to feel a thing
No, you didn't feel
When I die, I'll be fine
'Cause I know you're always there
When I die, I'm alright
'Cause I know you'll be there, you are home
Now I'm standing at a crossroad
Don't know which path is calling me
I wanna follow in your footsteps
So you know you're never alone
No, you didn't, didn't have to feel a thing
No, you're never alone
When I die, I'll be fine
'Cause I know you're always there
When I die, I'm alright
'Cause I know you'll be there, you are home
I'm still here but I'm waiting
For our long conversations
I'm still here but I'm waiting to go home
When I die, I'll be fine
'Cause I know you're always there
When I die, I'm alright
'Cause I know you'll be there, you are home
(No, you didn't, didn't have to feel a thing)
No, you didn't, didn't have to feel a thing
You are home, you are home

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/

I fucking love this song! Best song on the CD by far, I agree with mags2424! I can totally relate to it. After my boyfriend passed away a couple months ago I've been totally down, but I know I have a kick ass person watching over me and I'll know he will be up there when it's my time to get there, too.
