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”
Choking on nothing
Hands turning cold
The deeper the mind goes
The deeper the hole
I'm reaching a point where
No one else goes
My fate seems to be split in half
Can't control it at all
Words turn to ashes
Comfort won't help
Pointless to reach out
I'm losing myself
All I know is I wish this could end
Get rid of this feeling and stop to pretend
[Chorus]
(Let me)
Try to understand as I've
(Failed to be)
Someone I'm not
(It's so real)
I've been fooled once again
I've been
Forced to feel
It's like I'm not present
It's like I'm not here
A voice calls with vengeance
I am lost with the fear
Searching for meaning, searching within
The lust that was broken, has vanished again
Feels like a set up with no one to trust
The pictures I'm seeing won't leave 'til they're loved
[Chorus]
And now I wonder what's become of me
Is it the truth that was found?
Whatever it is, I won't respect the sound
Of giving things up
(Choking on nothing)
(Hands turning cold)
The deeper the mind goes
The deeper the hole
I'm reaching a point where
No one else goes
My fate seems to be split in half
Can't control it at all
[Chorus]
So let me
So let me
So let me
So let me!
Fuck it all
Hands turning cold
The deeper the mind goes
The deeper the hole
I'm reaching a point where
No one else goes
My fate seems to be split in half
Can't control it at all
Words turn to ashes
Comfort won't help
Pointless to reach out
I'm losing myself
All I know is I wish this could end
Get rid of this feeling and stop to pretend
[Chorus]
(Let me)
Try to understand as I've
(Failed to be)
Someone I'm not
(It's so real)
I've been fooled once again
I've been
Forced to feel
It's like I'm not present
It's like I'm not here
A voice calls with vengeance
I am lost with the fear
Searching for meaning, searching within
The lust that was broken, has vanished again
Feels like a set up with no one to trust
The pictures I'm seeing won't leave 'til they're loved
[Chorus]
And now I wonder what's become of me
Is it the truth that was found?
Whatever it is, I won't respect the sound
Of giving things up
(Choking on nothing)
(Hands turning cold)
The deeper the mind goes
The deeper the hole
I'm reaching a point where
No one else goes
My fate seems to be split in half
Can't control it at all
[Chorus]
So let me
So let me
So let me
So let me!
Fuck it all

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'
Dusty Springfield

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/

Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Might be about drugs.
