I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Look at me
And listen close
So I can tell you how I feel before I go
Just a year
It's not much time
For me to show you I am proud that you are mine
I wish I had known
The future in my heart
Was just about to start
Say tomorrow
I can follow you there
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always near you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me
Every lock
On every door
I put them there to try and hide you from the world
And you kicked
Yeah you screamed
You never understood you're everything to me
I just hope you know
The future in your heart
Is just about to start
Say tomorrow
I can follow you there
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always near you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me
No looking back when I am gone
(Sing for me)
Following your heart its never wrong
(Sing for me)
No looking back when I am gone
(Sing for me)
Don't second guess the note you're on
Out of time
All out of fight
You are the only thing in life that I got right
Say tomorrow
I can follow you there
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always hear you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
And listen close
So I can tell you how I feel before I go
Just a year
It's not much time
For me to show you I am proud that you are mine
I wish I had known
The future in my heart
Was just about to start
Say tomorrow
I can follow you there
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always near you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me
Every lock
On every door
I put them there to try and hide you from the world
And you kicked
Yeah you screamed
You never understood you're everything to me
I just hope you know
The future in your heart
Is just about to start
Say tomorrow
I can follow you there
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always near you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me
No looking back when I am gone
(Sing for me)
Following your heart its never wrong
(Sing for me)
No looking back when I am gone
(Sing for me)
Don't second guess the note you're on
Out of time
All out of fight
You are the only thing in life that I got right
Say tomorrow
I can follow you there
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always hear you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
Just close your eyes
And sing for me

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag

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 know this song basically are about Ryan's aunt, but still I have to share my ow thoughts and perspectives of this song. The good thing about songs are that everyone can give it their own meaning. For me this song are about a new start. Like when you broke up with someone, and later on find the person who means everything to you. "Just one year, it's not much time", personally I meet some, and I have never fall that fast for someone, and everytime they are away it hurts, and I wished I could be with them every single second, but I know I can't because of our age. "Say tomorrow, I can't follow you there". So summed up, for me this song are about being away from someone you love. Like when you're both young and therefore have your seperate lifes. Another meaning of the song can might be that you are trying to convince or tell someone how much you love them. And that you in the end succseed to capture their love "And you kick, yeah you screamed. You never understood you're everything to me" Therefore I think this song also are about building a relationship with someone "I wish I had known the future in my heart, was just about to start". And personally I know now that the future in MY heart has started :)
