[Verse 1]
From the islands to the cities
From the ports into the sea
We are strong
We will always be
Blazing through the wreckage
Burning all we see
The life we lead
Committed to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
Our union is a fortress
Together, we are bound
A common bond in freedom
And in sound
So, raise your voices high
For miles around to hear
Let them know
We are drawing near
[Chorus]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
[Verse 2]
A peaceful coexistence
Is dropping out of sight
So, band together
Together, we will fight
Blasting the resistance
Marching to the top
They started this
We say when it stops
[Pre-Chorus]
Strike fear within their hearts
Strike down those in your way
Let them know
That we live today
They threw us into flames
Did not heed our cries
But now
From the ashes, we arise
[Chorus]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
[Chorus]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
[Outro]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
From the islands to the cities
From the ports into the sea
We are strong
We will always be
Blazing through the wreckage
Burning all we see
The life we lead
Committed to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
Our union is a fortress
Together, we are bound
A common bond in freedom
And in sound
So, raise your voices high
For miles around to hear
Let them know
We are drawing near
[Chorus]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
[Verse 2]
A peaceful coexistence
Is dropping out of sight
So, band together
Together, we will fight
Blasting the resistance
Marching to the top
They started this
We say when it stops
[Pre-Chorus]
Strike fear within their hearts
Strike down those in your way
Let them know
That we live today
They threw us into flames
Did not heed our cries
But now
From the ashes, we arise
[Chorus]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
[Chorus]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand
[Outro]
In union, we stand
As they blaze across the land
In union, we make a final stand

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag

“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.
