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”
Come on, kid, where ya goin
Why is your head lookin down
Tell me what’s on the ground
Won’t you stand up, put your hands up
Try to brush away the cloud
Right now
You’re holdin out, you’re holdin on
You’re far is out, you’re days have come and gone
She’s burnin like the sun; you’re takin way too long
Come on, kid; come on, kid
She’s everything you want
She’s burnin to be yours; just open up the door
Come on, kid; come on, kid
What are you waitin for
What are you waitin for
Come on, kid, why ya runnin
Down every dead-end street
You’re pickin up speed
Heading faster for disaster
Don’t you know that it’s closer than it seems
To be
You’re givin in and letting go
Seem far away, but they’re closer than you know
She’s burnin like the sun; you’re takin way too long
Come on, kid; come on, kid
She’s everything you want
She’s burnin to be yours; just open up the door
Come on, kid; come on, kid
What are you waitin for
Come on, kid (x9)
She’s burnin like the sun; you’re takin way too long
Come on, kid; come on, kid
She’s everything you want
She’s burnin to be yours; just open up the door
Come on, kid; come on, kid
What are you waitin for
(Come on, kid) x4
What are you waitin for
(Come on, kid) x4
What are you waitin for
Why is your head lookin down
Tell me what’s on the ground
Won’t you stand up, put your hands up
Try to brush away the cloud
Right now
You’re holdin out, you’re holdin on
You’re far is out, you’re days have come and gone
She’s burnin like the sun; you’re takin way too long
Come on, kid; come on, kid
She’s everything you want
She’s burnin to be yours; just open up the door
Come on, kid; come on, kid
What are you waitin for
What are you waitin for
Come on, kid, why ya runnin
Down every dead-end street
You’re pickin up speed
Heading faster for disaster
Don’t you know that it’s closer than it seems
To be
You’re givin in and letting go
Seem far away, but they’re closer than you know
She’s burnin like the sun; you’re takin way too long
Come on, kid; come on, kid
She’s everything you want
She’s burnin to be yours; just open up the door
Come on, kid; come on, kid
What are you waitin for
Come on, kid (x9)
She’s burnin like the sun; you’re takin way too long
Come on, kid; come on, kid
She’s everything you want
She’s burnin to be yours; just open up the door
Come on, kid; come on, kid
What are you waitin for
(Come on, kid) x4
What are you waitin for
(Come on, kid) x4
What are you waitin for

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.

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.
okay, so the part "You're far is out"... i couldn't understand, so i gave it my best guess... :]
"I think its Your fire is out, you're days have come and gone"
