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.
She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
Are why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give
She sits alone, on her phone
She's calling about her broken home
And I don't know what I should say cause she's crying
And feels as though she's thrown it all away
She won't last another day
You're climbing the stairs, unaware that she's hurting
Bad and lying very still on the floor by the door
But it's locked 'cause she was hoping
You would come back for more
But it's too late to realize you've made mistakes
She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
Are why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give
Please save me
I've been waiting
Been aching for too long
She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
Are why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give
Please save me
I've been waiting
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
Are why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give
She sits alone, on her phone
She's calling about her broken home
And I don't know what I should say cause she's crying
And feels as though she's thrown it all away
She won't last another day
You're climbing the stairs, unaware that she's hurting
Bad and lying very still on the floor by the door
But it's locked 'cause she was hoping
You would come back for more
But it's too late to realize you've made mistakes
She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
Are why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give
Please save me
I've been waiting
Been aching for too long
She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
Are why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give
Please save me
I've been waiting

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.
wow i never liked Mcfly, i always thought they were just another poppy boyband but if they made songs like this more often then i would be a fan :D Tom is really good on piano and i respect Mcfly for being able to play there own instruments really well, unlike some bands. Again i love this song very much :) xxx
