This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have a friend and it's an earthworm
It burrows underground deep within the soil
Sometimes when it rains it comes out
And we talk about our day
I have a friend and she's a butterfly
She flies from flower to flower drinking sweet nectar
With hundreds of friends
They sleep up in the trees at night
I have a friend and he's a dragonfly
He sweeps around all day and hovers in the air
He's colorful and wonderful
His wings are strong and powerful
He's the dragonfly
These are my friends
Even though they are bugs
They have a big role in our world
Even though they're bugs
I have a friend and it's an earthworm
I have a friend and she's a butterfly
I have a friend and he's a dragonfly
They are my friends and yeah they're all insects
It burrows underground deep within the soil
Sometimes when it rains it comes out
And we talk about our day
I have a friend and she's a butterfly
She flies from flower to flower drinking sweet nectar
With hundreds of friends
They sleep up in the trees at night
I have a friend and he's a dragonfly
He sweeps around all day and hovers in the air
He's colorful and wonderful
His wings are strong and powerful
He's the dragonfly
These are my friends
Even though they are bugs
They have a big role in our world
Even though they're bugs
I have a friend and it's an earthworm
I have a friend and she's a butterfly
I have a friend and he's a dragonfly
They are my friends and yeah they're all insects

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”

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“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.
Silly song, wasn't actually written by Weezer though. They did it for Yo! Gabba Gabba, and if you can check out the video, you won't be sorry. Very fun song, makes you want to hear a Weezer children's album.
This song really bothers me, because earthworms aren't insects ;)
To me this song is about people. Insects is just a metaphor for people. The different insects mentioned are different types of people. the earthworm is some kind of reclusive, lazy, loner guy who he rarely sees, the butterfly is some kind of popular whore girl with hundreds of friends and having sex with many different partners. dragonfly is some kind of cool dude who's very active and popular and athletic. Then he says even though they are insects they still have a big role in our world, which is kind of him.
I feel weird admitting it, but I love this song! I think it's better than several of the songs that made it on to the 'standard' Hurley album... It's just so... weird. :)
