This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I want in a girl
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I need in this world
I see the way you flaunt it
Yeah you're everything I've wanted
So baby won't you just give me your word
No harsh words, I got nothing to be mad about
Life's pretty good, yeah nothing to be sad about
So come on baby let it out and you and me go walkabout
I know you got a man, yet I'm the one you talking about
Taking you away with me is something that I've thought about
Laugh at all the silly little shit we ever fought about
Sunshine days as we suck down jays as we laugh for days about the silly shit I thought aloud
The summer sun is calling now, you know we never falling out
You and me, eternity, at least that's what I'm talking now
Sitting on the beach wearing nothing but a smile
You're the best that's happened to the boy in a while
In the street or the club girl you know I feel your style
You're the head of the pack by at least a country mile
You're my number one, write it down so it's on file
So baby hold it down until we walking down the aisle
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I want in a girl
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I need in this world
I see the way you flaunt it
Yeah you're everything I've wanted
So baby won't you just give me your word
I'll write a little poetry so you can get to knowing me
Have a little giggle at the YouTube clips you showing me
I said baby, baby, just what do you intend?
Now you're laughing out loud, and winking at me knowingly
And later baby maybe I can take you back to mine
I got a pretty little courtyard and a little bit of wine
Sing and dance and laugh until we lose all track of time
And you can fall asleep on me, your hand curled up in mine
We could be forever we don't have to be pretend
I don't see a reason why we ever gotta end
I'ma take you everywhere, show you to my friends
And when I see them bubbles always hope you're hitting send
You can have my last name, or you can keep your own
I just wanna change your name to 'wifey' in my phone
Baby be my queen and you can join me on my throne
Think about girl, when you decide just let me know
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I want in a girl
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I need in this world
I see the way you flaunt it
Yeah you're everything I've wanted
So baby won't you just give me your word
Baby baby baby, you're always on my mind
Never met a lady like you before, so sexy yes so fine
Rolling up the east coast, got you by my side
Never met a lady so beautiful
You're all I want
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I want in a girl
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I need in this world
I see the way you flaunt it
Yeah you're everything I've wanted
So baby won't you just give me your word
Cos you're a-a-a-a-all I need in this world
I see the way you flaunt it
Yeah you're everything I've wanted
So baby won't you just give me your word
No harsh words, I got nothing to be mad about
Life's pretty good, yeah nothing to be sad about
So come on baby let it out and you and me go walkabout
I know you got a man, yet I'm the one you talking about
Taking you away with me is something that I've thought about
Laugh at all the silly little shit we ever fought about

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
