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”
I think I like where I'm standing
I think I hate it too
'Cause it's safe on the side of caution
But baby, it's so far away from you
And if I try my best, I still can't find a way to let it go
And it's so much work pretending to move on
I can't if I'll never know (walk in the rain)
In love and pain (on and on)
'Til we find a new beginning
Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I've buried all my dreams but the ones of us
I think I never knew you when I knew you before
And every time we meet
It's like you're breaking my heart all over
Give me peace, give me trust, give me something real
Let me know when it's safe to begin to feel
All the things I knew before, I need something to fight for
Talk it out, all these hours, almost every day
Still you fill my lungs (still I walk in grace)
Until I've unlearned everything, except to trust
I can't if I'm too afraid of love and pain (is that so wrong?)
Tell me that I'm gaining something
Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I've buried all my dreams but the ones of us
I think I never knew you when I knew you before
And every time we meet
It's like you're breaking my heart all over
Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I'm writing all the songs that I'll play for us
I'm crossing off the reasons why I couldn't believe
That peace of mind was something that I'd ever achieve
Come on, come on
Nothing to be lost or won
Come on, come on
I feel as if we've just begun
I'm standing here alone
Come on, come on
Nothing ever seemed so clear
Come on, come on
And still I don't know how to feel
I walk this road alone
Come on, come on
Listen to the sound of the rain
Come on, come on
Can it take me home again?
Take me home again to your arms
Hey, hey, this is dangerous
Waste the night away with us
Even if we never find a way back to love
The desperate and the faithful are the ones we can trust
Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I've buried all my dreams but the ones of us
I think I never knew you when I knew you before
And every time we meet
It's like you're breaking my heart all over
Come on, come on
Nothing to be lost or won
Even if we never find our way back to love
Take me home again
I think I hate it too
'Cause it's safe on the side of caution
But baby, it's so far away from you
And if I try my best, I still can't find a way to let it go
And it's so much work pretending to move on
I can't if I'll never know (walk in the rain)
In love and pain (on and on)
'Til we find a new beginning
Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I've buried all my dreams but the ones of us
I think I never knew you when I knew you before
And every time we meet
It's like you're breaking my heart all over
Give me peace, give me trust, give me something real
Let me know when it's safe to begin to feel
All the things I knew before, I need something to fight for
Talk it out, all these hours, almost every day
Still you fill my lungs (still I walk in grace)
Until I've unlearned everything, except to trust
I can't if I'm too afraid of love and pain (is that so wrong?)
Tell me that I'm gaining something
Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I've buried all my dreams but the ones of us
I think I never knew you when I knew you before
And every time we meet
It's like you're breaking my heart all over
Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I'm writing all the songs that I'll play for us

Hey, hey, this is dangerous

It's like you're breaking my heart all over
Come on, come on
Nothing to be lost or won
Even if we never find our way back to love
Take me home again

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.

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.
i think this song is about someone who misses their ex and they want to get back together. Everytime he sees the girl he misses it breaks his heart all over again, and wishes things were different between them i think.
