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”
Forever alone
Until I found you
Now you're always there
Voice on the air
Scent on my clothes
Oh, but when the sun
Exposes all my demons
Will you stay, or run away?
I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
I'm yours tonight
Whenever you go
They say I'm bad news
When everyone agrees
Whispers start sounding like screams
Oh, but I know what you want
To say before the words escape your teeth
Will you trust in me?
I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
I'm yours tonight
My good intentions
Can leave the hardest hearts
The harshest scars you've ever seen
My bad impressions
They will follow me
Makin' enemies that I can't see
Forever alone
Till I found you
I know that you'll stay
You won't run away
I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
(I'm yours tonight)
I'm yours tonight
Until I found you
Now you're always there
Voice on the air
Scent on my clothes
Oh, but when the sun
Exposes all my demons
Will you stay, or run away?
I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
I'm yours tonight
Whenever you go
They say I'm bad news
When everyone agrees
Whispers start sounding like screams
Oh, but I know what you want
To say before the words escape your teeth
Will you trust in me?
I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
I'm yours tonight
My good intentions
Can leave the hardest hearts
The harshest scars you've ever seen
My bad impressions
They will follow me
Makin' enemies that I can't see
Forever alone
Till I found you
I know that you'll stay
You won't run away
I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
I'll help you find your way
Every moment you're awake
You know I'll stay
Even in your dreams
I'll pull the stars down from the heavens
To fill your empty skies
I'm yours tonight
(I'm yours tonight)
I'm yours tonight

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.

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.
"Oh, but when the sun Exposes all my demons Will you stay around for us?"
I believe this song is about how William obviously has had many girls, and that he sees how that might scare this girl off that the song is written to. When she discovers his past, will she stay with him, trust in him? Sometimes when people start talking, it's hard to defend your decisions.
"My good intentions Can leave the hardest hearts The harshest scars you've ever seen My bad impressions They will follow me Makin' enemies that I can't see"
It's not that he wants to be a player, he has good intentions, but even though girls are left with broken hearts. This follows him, cos people often dislike you if you've had many partners. That's how it is with him. But so he continues to explain that he was alone until he found her. It wasn't love with the other girls, this time it is different. He promises to "help you find your way every moment you're awake", and that's one hell of a big promise.
He's serious this time, and hopes that she'll see how him having had a lot of partners has nothing to do with his situation with her now.
Love the meaning. I think it's very true.
