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'm a peeping tom, I shamelessly watch the windows next to me
When it's dark outside, there's nowhere they can safely hide
I can see you when you're getting ready to go out
And all the stuff you're embarrassed about
And when you sing offkey, I can't hear you
But I see that your mouth is moving
Can you see me?
I only watch you when I'm bored
You replace all the gadgets that I can't afford
Don't know your name, but I like the PJs that you wore
Please don't be creeped out by me
But you're my miniature TV
Comb your hair and brush your teeth so obliviously
Can you see me?
When your lights are off, I wonder where you go
'Cause I wanna serenade you from my window
I can sit and be amused by your scandalous dance moves
And if you're sick of dancing alone, I will come and dance with you
Can you see me?
Can you see me?
Am I creepy?
Well I'll come dance with you (Can you see me?)
I'll come dance with you (Can you see me?)
I'll come dance with you, I'll come dance with you
I'll come dance with you if you want me to
When it's dark outside, there's nowhere they can safely hide
I can see you when you're getting ready to go out
And all the stuff you're embarrassed about
And when you sing offkey, I can't hear you
But I see that your mouth is moving
Can you see me?
I only watch you when I'm bored
You replace all the gadgets that I can't afford
Don't know your name, but I like the PJs that you wore
Please don't be creeped out by me
But you're my miniature TV
Comb your hair and brush your teeth so obliviously
Can you see me?
When your lights are off, I wonder where you go
'Cause I wanna serenade you from my window
I can sit and be amused by your scandalous dance moves
And if you're sick of dancing alone, I will come and dance with you
Can you see me?
Can you see me?
Am I creepy?
Well I'll come dance with you (Can you see me?)
I'll come dance with you (Can you see me?)
I'll come dance with you, I'll come dance with you
I'll come dance with you if you want me to

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is one of my favourites from the I Wrote These album. I think that's mainly to do with how relatable the song is in it's lyrics, and to be honest, there is no subtlety about the meaning of this song.
It's about that feeling you get when you 'like' someone, and how you're constantly wondering if they like you in the same way. Or even if the can see you at all. Eventually you think what you are doing is creepy. But it's really not.
