I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
[Verse 1]
Johnny 3 Tears:
Sick with myself,
But I've got noone else.
So I give it to myself,
It's the only thing that helps.
It's the same thing,
This pain thing that keeps me from sleeping
And screaming that ''God I must be motherfucking dreaming''
And I can rest in peace
And at least cease to be,
Cease to see those things in me
That make me wanna cease to breath.
And ceased to need and ceased to feed,
Sickness that's in me,
This is all that I can be,
I can't breath as I bleed
[Chorus]
Tha Producer:
I don't know why I cut myself, God,
Give me a sign or help
I won't cry, it'll be fine,
I'll take my last breath
Push it out my chest 'til there's nothing left.
I know that my mind's near the end, God,
I hurt myself and fell
I won't cry, it'll be fine,
I'll take my last breath
Push it out my chest 'til there's nothing left
[Verse 2]
J-Dog:
Have you ever met a living legend,
Just a real friend who planned his end
And where do I began, you said it was pretend.
And when the bullet went through,
It took more then just you,
It took two, it was you, it was me and suddenly
How can someone say they're helpless and then they act so selfish?
You put me through hell with this,
So fuck you let's just end this.
And what about our friendship
And what you did, was senseless.
You thought, you found an exit.
Like I said let's end this
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Tha Producer:
I just wanna say goodbye,
Dissappear with noone knowing.
I don't wanna live this lie,
Smiling to the world unknowing.
I dont want you to try,
You've done enough to keep me going.
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
For the very last time
[Chorus]

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I totally know what this is talking about. I think it's about somebody whos a cutter, but then also from the view of his friends.
"Tha Producer:
I just wanna say good bye, Dissappear with no one knowing I dont wanna live this lie, smiling to the world unknowing I dont want you to try, you've done enough to keep me going i'll be fine, I'll be fine, i'll be fine for the very last time" That' about suicde there.
then this is the point of view of the best friend.
"Have you ever met a living legend, just a real friend who planned his end and where do I began you said it was pretend. And when the bullet went through it took more then just you, it took two it was you it was me and suddenly...... How can someone say they're helpless and then they act so selfish. You put me through hell with this so fuck you lets just end this. And what about our friendship and what you did was senseless. You thought you found an exit."
That's his friends point of view, after the person commited suicide.
"And when the bullet went through it took more then just you, it took two it was you it was"
That's a big give away there.
