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.
A man in my shoes runs a lier, and all the papers lie tonight
that falling over you is the news of the day.
The angels fall like rain,
and your love is all of heaven away
Inside you time moves and she don't fade,
The ghost in you, she don't fade.
The race is on I'm on your side, but hearing you my engines die,
I'm in the mood for you, for running away
Oh the stars come down in you
And love, love, love, can't give it away
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade away
The ghost in you, she don't fade.
So don't you go, cause it makes no sense
and all these talking supermen
just take away the time, just to get it away
Ain't it just like the rain
Cause love, love, love, love, is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade
The ghost in you, she don't fade away
Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade
The ghost in you, she don't fade away.
The man in my shoes runs a lier, and all the papers lie tonight
That falling over you is the news of the day.
And love, will not fade
And love, love, love, will not fade away.
that falling over you is the news of the day.
The angels fall like rain,
and your love is all of heaven away
Inside you time moves and she don't fade,
The ghost in you, she don't fade.
The race is on I'm on your side, but hearing you my engines die,
I'm in the mood for you, for running away
Oh the stars come down in you
And love, love, love, can't give it away
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade away
The ghost in you, she don't fade.
So don't you go, cause it makes no sense
and all these talking supermen
just take away the time, just to get it away
Ain't it just like the rain
Cause love, love, love, love, is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade
The ghost in you, she don't fade away
Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade
The ghost in you, she don't fade away.
The man in my shoes runs a lier, and all the papers lie tonight
That falling over you is the news of the day.
And love, will not fade
And love, love, love, will not fade away.

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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 like the idea of it being about mourning over a lost love but I think it might also be about someone, maybe a lover, who has changed from when they first knew each other. In this sense I think the 'ghost in you' is the person how they used to be and everytime he looks at her he sees who she used to be and so 'she don't fade away.' I'm not sure how the rest of the song relates to this, it might or it might not, but that was what I thought when I first heard this song. But I like and readily accept all the other interpretations people have made.
