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”
Where do you want to go, am I to let you run,
Save me the time and tell me who you are thinking of,
Don't be afraid, my love
I know sometimes I scare you, but its all for us,
take what you want from me I will be strong enough,
Don't be afraid my love, it will damage you.
I know you're shy my love, but what do you see in us, where do you go at night, tell me your secrets you must, because it will damage you.
Well if you would like to take away the two of us,
there must be some other one, the source of my mistrust.
How could it be true, I gave to you my awful love,
like never before, I swear no more, its just for us,
Don't be afraid my love, it will damage you.
I know you're shy my love, but what do you see in us, where do you go at night, tell me your secrets you must, because it will damage you
Save me the time and tell me who you are thinking of,
Don't be afraid, my love
I know sometimes I scare you, but its all for us,
take what you want from me I will be strong enough,
Don't be afraid my love, it will damage you.
I know you're shy my love, but what do you see in us, where do you go at night, tell me your secrets you must, because it will damage you.
Well if you would like to take away the two of us,
there must be some other one, the source of my mistrust.
How could it be true, I gave to you my awful love,
like never before, I swear no more, its just for us,
Don't be afraid my love, it will damage you.
I know you're shy my love, but what do you see in us, where do you go at night, tell me your secrets you must, because it will damage you

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.

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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I feel like this song is about a guy that is with a girl but she is really closed off and secretive, possibly has anxiety. He's telling her that she can trust him, because right now she doesn't because she's afraid of being hurt; But in reserving herself and bottling things up it "damages" her anyway. He won't judge her and that by getting out what she needs to, it will prevent her from being "damaged".
