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.
We are a lullaby,
An everlasting Song
Taken this prisoners to a place where we belong
If the tune stops, I will not wake Oh No
Without us I am no one,
My soul swells and aches
So I am the day
When the music dies so will our Love, there will be some pain
But I will keep it in my Locket
If you'll lead the band, I will have to follow
There is no escape for me So Play on
Keep me dancing in the air
Play on, No one else can compare
Play on, to the harmony of our sweet rapture
Play on, you have a supernatural flair
Play on, Push me further than I dare
Play on, Play on, Play on
So play on for me
So If this melody just stopped or fade away
Oceans will drain out and the stars disintegrate
It's like 2 roads, I have lost all my control, I look into you, you make me rock and roll
So I am the day
When the music dies so will our love, there will be some pain
But I will keep it in my locket
If you will lead the band, I will have to follow
There is no escape 4 me So play on
Keep me dancing in the air
No else can compare, play on
To the harmony of our sweet rapture
Play on,
You have a super natural flair
Play on, push me further than I dare
Play on, play on, play on
So play on for me
Keep me dancing in the air
No one else can compare
To the harmony of our sweet rapture
Play on,
You have a super natural flair
Play on, push me further than I dare
Play on, play on, play on
So play on for me
An everlasting Song
Taken this prisoners to a place where we belong
If the tune stops, I will not wake Oh No
Without us I am no one,
My soul swells and aches
So I am the day
When the music dies so will our Love, there will be some pain
But I will keep it in my Locket
If you'll lead the band, I will have to follow
There is no escape for me So Play on
Keep me dancing in the air
Play on, No one else can compare
Play on, to the harmony of our sweet rapture
Play on, you have a supernatural flair
Play on, Push me further than I dare
Play on, Play on, Play on
So play on for me
So If this melody just stopped or fade away
Oceans will drain out and the stars disintegrate
It's like 2 roads, I have lost all my control, I look into you, you make me rock and roll
So I am the day
When the music dies so will our love, there will be some pain
But I will keep it in my locket
If you will lead the band, I will have to follow

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing

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.
I love this song, such a beautiful ballad thats catchy. Fantastic Album ender and to me it's about a past love that lighted up your world and fronted your (or a) band that Paloma loved dearly.
This person gave her a purpose and it did end I assumed by the sad music tone. I just love it.
