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”
Shield the monocrat and
Better fulfill his needs and wields his sordid means
Thank you for all torture and maul
Which only keep it running
We condemn disruption
We should fight for liberation now
Liberate us now
Breed the egoist and
Give him them all he needs and feed his vicious greed
Thank you, we call for chaos
And leave us all alone, resigned
We condemn corruption
We should fight for abdication now
Abdicate us now
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
We will commence
Yield the ruffian then
Give him the gall that he needs and field his children now
For they'll recall, once and for all
This farce is everlasting
We condemn suppression
We should fight this aberration now
Fight suppression now
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
Temptation has destroyed so many brilliant minds
Fate pays the deviant with agony in kind
The lies you've spread
For blood you've she'd
You'll have to justify
Enslaved to reign
Heartless, insane
You'll have to pay the price
Words fail now
The truth is hard to comprehend
Vile secrets were kept in the dark
Avoiding social unrest
Wild efforts to gag dissidents
Will ever fail in the end
We condemn aggression
We could find our destination now
Find it here somehow
We will commence
Your chance is now
Better fulfill his needs and wields his sordid means
Thank you for all torture and maul
Which only keep it running
We condemn disruption
We should fight for liberation now
Liberate us now
Breed the egoist and
Give him them all he needs and feed his vicious greed
Thank you, we call for chaos
And leave us all alone, resigned
We condemn corruption
We should fight for abdication now
Abdicate us now
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
We will commence
Yield the ruffian then
Give him the gall that he needs and field his children now
For they'll recall, once and for all
This farce is everlasting
We condemn suppression
We should fight this aberration now
Fight suppression now
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
Temptation has destroyed so many brilliant minds
Fate pays the deviant with agony in kind
The lies you've spread
For blood you've she'd
You'll have to justify
Enslaved to reign
Heartless, insane
You'll have to pay the price
Words fail now
The truth is hard to comprehend
Vile secrets were kept in the dark
Avoiding social unrest
Wild efforts to gag dissidents
Will ever fail in the end
We condemn aggression
We could find our destination now
Find it here somehow
We will commence
Your chance is now

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.

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
This song is about the death of Muammar Gaddafi, even a sample of his speech.
Not really about his death but actually about his reign of tyranny, And Muammar Gadaffi is one of the examples :)
