This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
He's got inside my head
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
I am not anymore surprised at your phone calls
At four in the morning
(Hello, hello)
You try to write me letters like you've transformed
Into Charles Dickens overnight or something
(Oh, I'm sorry)
And I doubt that you've considered that maybe,
Just maybe those genes that you were forced in,
Although heavy, are no excuse
For your lack of trust in anyone, even you.
My boyfriend used my palm, as an ashtray,
And that was on his good days
My scar looks like a bear, or a rabbit
They said, "It's just his bad habits."
He's got inside my head
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
I'm not even scared to come cure your past,
Or try to reinvent it
(Just leave it alone)
I can be your lover, and your mother,
And your father who never really
Had to take you fishing or teach compassion
You used my voice as your spokesman
You couldn't walk on your own feet
Ain't that horrid
He's got inside my head
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
What's the use, I've caught the blindness
He's got inside my head
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
Are you going to tell me
That you can't bear this weight
That was a present twelve years from this day?
Well this town's on the edge of the dry, dry ocean,
And you're thinking you're immune to getting torn or more
Yeah, yeah
Come on
He's got inside my bed
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
He's got inside my bed
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
What's the use, I've caught the blindness
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
I am not anymore surprised at your phone calls
At four in the morning
(Hello, hello)
You try to write me letters like you've transformed
Into Charles Dickens overnight or something
(Oh, I'm sorry)
And I doubt that you've considered that maybe,
Just maybe those genes that you were forced in,
Although heavy, are no excuse
For your lack of trust in anyone, even you.
My boyfriend used my palm, as an ashtray,
And that was on his good days

They said, "It's just his bad habits."

He's got hold of my hand
I'm not even scared to come cure your past,
Or try to reinvent it

And your father who never really
Had to take you fishing or teach compassion

What's the use, I've caught the blindness

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
"I had fallen, despite all of the things that I had told myself otherwise. I thought that he was going to save me, thought he was going to end my suffering. I held out my hand wanting desperately for it to end, knowing that he could stop it all with just three words. His eyes looked through me, he made me feel like I didn’t exist, like a rich man to a beggar on the street. Then his eyes fixed, looking down at me looking back up at him, he took a long drag from his Marlboro Mild and flicked the ashes into the palm of my open outstretched hand. A sigh of smoke crept out of the corner of his mouth, the soul escaping the body, and in me the same thing. That was the day the part of me that fell silent started screaming, the day something clicked in my brain to fight against the injustices of love, and to never fall again…"
@Cruel_dayz: Where is that from?
I imagine it was from one of their blogs.
