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.
If I hold onto your lips a little bit longer
If I wanted to stay inside, would you think it's strange?
And if I really want to let it all go,
And not save anything for tomorrow
And if tomorrow never comes at all
Kiss me like it's the last time
Love me like it's the first time
I'll kiss you like it's the last time
And I'll love you like it's the first time
I'll be trippin', can't wait 'till the next time
But if there isn't a next time
[Chorus]
Baby, just don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Baby, just don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
I learned not to diss my words and fight over little things
Like when I used to wait all night,
Just to say I'm sorry, I love you
Oh, tell me what would there be left to say?
Nothing
Oh, what if God wants to take me away?
Oh, you better, take me
Kiss me like it's the last time,
Love me like it's the first time
I'll kiss you like it's the last time
And I'll love you like it's the first time
I'll be trippin', can't wait 'till the next time
But if there isn't a next time
[Chorus]
And if I only had one last thing to do,
Then you know I only wanna give the world to you
So, baby won't you look me in eyes and pretend
And tell me that you know I never, ever, never, ever go away
Just in case
Kiss me like it's the last time,
Love me like it's the first time
I'll kiss you like it's the last time
And I'll love you like it's the first time
I'll be trippin', can't wait for the next time
But if there isn't a next time
Oh, there might not be a next time
So,
[Chorus]
Don't fight it, just kiss me like it's the last time
Just kiss me, like it's the last time
Just kiss me, like it's the last time
Just kiss me, like it's the last time
Just kiss me, like it's the last time
If I wanted to stay inside, would you think it's strange?
And if I really want to let it all go,
And not save anything for tomorrow
And if tomorrow never comes at all
Kiss me like it's the last time
Love me like it's the first time
I'll kiss you like it's the last time
And I'll love you like it's the first time
I'll be trippin', can't wait 'till the next time
But if there isn't a next time
[Chorus]
Baby, just don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Baby, just don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
I learned not to diss my words and fight over little things
Like when I used to wait all night,
Just to say I'm sorry, I love you
Oh, tell me what would there be left to say?
Nothing
Oh, what if God wants to take me away?
Oh, you better, take me
Kiss me like it's the last time,
Love me like it's the first time
I'll kiss you like it's the last time
And I'll love you like it's the first time
I'll be trippin', can't wait 'till the next time
But if there isn't a next time
[Chorus]
And if I only had one last thing to do,
Then you know I only wanna give the world to you
So, baby won't you look me in eyes and pretend
And tell me that you know I never, ever, never, ever go away
Just in case
Kiss me like it's the last time,
Love me like it's the first time
I'll kiss you like it's the last time
And I'll love you like it's the first time
I'll be trippin', can't wait for the next time
But if there isn't a next time
Oh, there might not be a next time
So,
[Chorus]
Don't fight it, just kiss me like it's the last time
Just kiss me, like it's the last time
Just kiss me, like it's the last time
Just kiss me, like it's the last time
Just kiss me, like it's the last time

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.
this song is so beautiful. it's pretty self explanitory, and the message is so lovely. "kiss me like it's the last time, love me like it's the first time" that line is absolutely wonderful. way to go new kids.
