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”
You're a blister, on a finger
And they'll keep you around
Just to keep them around
So unexpected, you're sequestered
But you keep it alive
Yea just keep it inside again
And than we'll follow you home again
And give the sickness we give to friends
And then we'll swallow you whole again
In my wide mouth
To praise
Just let it fester, let it rest here
Just pretend we're contrived
Just pretend we're in bind
If we're rejected, We're expected
Just to cling to the lie
And to keep it inside, yea
And than we'll follow you home again
And give the sickness we give to friends
And than we'll swallow you whole again
In my wide mouth
To please
If we find her, can we keep her
Just as cold as we found her
as old as a memory
If she flinches, seven menches
We'll just keep it alive
And just keep it inside, yea
And than we'll follow you home again
And give the sickness we give to friends
And than we'll swallow you whole again
In my wide mouth
To pray
And they'll keep you around
Just to keep them around
So unexpected, you're sequestered
But you keep it alive
Yea just keep it inside again
And than we'll follow you home again
And give the sickness we give to friends
And then we'll swallow you whole again
In my wide mouth
To praise
Just let it fester, let it rest here
Just pretend we're contrived
Just pretend we're in bind
If we're rejected, We're expected
Just to cling to the lie
And to keep it inside, yea
And than we'll follow you home again
And give the sickness we give to friends
And than we'll swallow you whole again
In my wide mouth
To please
If we find her, can we keep her
Just as cold as we found her
as old as a memory
If she flinches, seven menches
We'll just keep it alive
And just keep it inside, yea
And than we'll follow you home again
And give the sickness we give to friends
And than we'll swallow you whole again
In my wide mouth
To pray

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.

Magical

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.
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.
This is a song about complacency and refusal to change things for the better out of fear that they might end up worse. It seems to most likely be about a relationship, but could be about any aspect of his life. Shaun is a master lyricist, able to say so much with so little. There's a lot of passion in the simplest of phrases that can be interpreted many ways.
"You're a blister On a finger And I'll keep you around, Just to keep them around" You're unwanted, but you're there. Getting rid of you would be a hassle, and since it's not that inconvenient, he'll just keep it for the sake of keeping it.
"So unexpected You're sequestered But you keep it alive, Yea just keep it inside again"
To me this means he feels alone, and while that feeling is unexpected compared to how he used to feel, he'd rather feel alone than actually be alone, so he just bares through it
"And than we'll follow you home again And give the sickness we give to friends And than we swallow you whole again In my wide mouth To praise" I think the sickness is the facade that they put up, trying to convince everyone, friends, family, even each other and themselves that they are happy. The wide mouth is the fake smile. Instead of referring to it as a smile, he just describes how it looks, because that's all it really is. A smile would be real, but the expression he puts on is not. It's just a wide mouth, taking in her lies and his own. The second verse seems to be more elaborating on that feeling of jut putting up with whatever happens and going with it. "Just pretend we're in bind"- if you feel like leaving or giving up, just pretend you don't have that option, pretend you're bound.
"If we find her Can we keep her Just as cold as we found her As old as a memory If she flinches Seven inches We'll just keep it alive And just keep it inside, yea" I read another interpretation of this verse somewhere that says "her" is simply a personification of their "love," and I'm inclined to agree completely. He hopes to find what they lost, but he'll settle for the memory and hope, because that's all they have.
