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.
It's just the same old tale
First date
Just friends
It never ends
Never fails
Girl meets boy
Boy wants girl
But girl wants every boy but boy that wants her
And boy just sits at home
Cliche to the bone
It's just the same old tale
Tough love that never begins
Cause friends dont let friends ever set sail
Your relationship
These waters are dangerous
Not safe for us or we will surley flip
Don't run, I'll bite my tounge
Another unsolved one in my lungs
I'd hold this moment if I could
My chest hurts so call the nurse
We all know how my heart works
Way too hard for it's own good
Same old tale
Unproffesed and the unconfessed
Reality checks lost in the mail that I forgot to send
With a stamp that reads why can't you see
You can't spell friends without an end my friend
Don't run, I'll bite my tounge
Another unsolved one in my lungs
I'd hold this moment if i could
My chest hurts so call a nurse
We all know how my heart works
Way too hard for its own good
Way too hard for its own good
Good lord
My stomache hurts a little bit more
I wish I knew better
Close your eyes and say goodnight
Dream about what it was like when I knew better
It's just the same old tale
It's just the same old tale
Don't run, I'll bite my tounge
Another unsolved one in my lungs
I'd hold this moment if I could
My chest hurts I call the nurse
We all know how my heart works
Way too hard for it's own good
Way too hard for it's own good
For it's own good
For it's own good
For it's own good
First date
Just friends
It never ends
Never fails
Girl meets boy
Boy wants girl
But girl wants every boy but boy that wants her
And boy just sits at home
Cliche to the bone
It's just the same old tale
Tough love that never begins
Cause friends dont let friends ever set sail
Your relationship
These waters are dangerous
Not safe for us or we will surley flip
Don't run, I'll bite my tounge
Another unsolved one in my lungs
I'd hold this moment if I could
My chest hurts so call the nurse
We all know how my heart works
Way too hard for it's own good
Same old tale
Unproffesed and the unconfessed
Reality checks lost in the mail that I forgot to send
With a stamp that reads why can't you see
You can't spell friends without an end my friend
Don't run, I'll bite my tounge
Another unsolved one in my lungs
I'd hold this moment if i could
My chest hurts so call a nurse
We all know how my heart works

Way too hard for its own good

It's just the same old tale

Another unsolved one in my lungs

My chest hurts I call the nurse
We all know how my heart works
Way too hard for it's own good
Way too hard for it's own good
For it's own good
For it's own good
For it's own good

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'
Dusty Springfield
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/
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.
I LOVE THIS SONG! It's pretty much the story of most high school relationships. Just Like Always = amazing.
