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.
There she stood
She was a vision a picture of perfection
So I made the big decision
I'm going to talk to her
I have to show to her
It could be magic
And I got the nerve up
So went over there
She was a goddess
I had to show to her
I could be her Adonis
At first sight I knew she was my destiny
The first time the feeling has come over me
Intimidation, feared rejection
I need to make a love connection
Then the unexpected had occurred
And then it happened
And she spoke
And it all just went to hell
Her personality quickly broke the spell
So disillusioned
That I came to the conclusion
She was garbage wrapped in loveliness
Leaving me so unimpressed
If she don't shut up
I'm gonna throw up
All over her shoes
How could it be?
That such a goddess
Would ever talk to me
And make me nauseous
All the things she said
Just echoed in my head
I thought she was an angel
But it was all just misread
Every word was terrible
And made it more unbearable
And made me have to leave
The f-ing room
And it's all because she spoke
Tortured by her words
Such a pretty shithead
That I wished I never heard
Perfect on the outside
But fucked on the in
How can god be so cruel?
It's got to be a sin
I had to plug my ears
Until she disappears
So I can cry
Waahh!
And it's all because she spoke
It all just went to hell
Her personality quickly broke the spell
So disillusioned
That I came to the conclusion
She was garbage wrapped in loveliness
Leaving me so unimpressed
I was destined to learn my lesson
And I learned it well
Never think she's perfect till you talk to her first
Never fall in love till you go through her purse
Never think she's perfect till you talk to her first
And I should know
She was a vision a picture of perfection
So I made the big decision
I'm going to talk to her
I have to show to her
It could be magic
And I got the nerve up
So went over there
She was a goddess
I had to show to her
I could be her Adonis
At first sight I knew she was my destiny
The first time the feeling has come over me
Intimidation, feared rejection
I need to make a love connection
Then the unexpected had occurred
And then it happened
And she spoke
And it all just went to hell
Her personality quickly broke the spell
So disillusioned
That I came to the conclusion
She was garbage wrapped in loveliness
Leaving me so unimpressed
If she don't shut up
I'm gonna throw up
All over her shoes
How could it be?
That such a goddess
Would ever talk to me
And make me nauseous
All the things she said
Just echoed in my head

But it was all just misread
Every word was terrible
And made it more unbearable
And made me have to leave

And it's all because she spoke
Tortured by her words

Never think she's perfect till you talk to her first
Never fall in love till you go through her purse
Never think she's perfect till you talk to her first
And I should know

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I like this song. I think we've all wanted to talk to that really beautiful person and then they speak and ruin everything. Personality is definatly a lot better than looks
haha, this is a great song. it goes for all the bitches who are good looking, and think they're hot shit and are all stuck up. it's great
my friend really liked this girl (and i'm not sure why...she's not even really attractive) but he said "on paper she's like perfect, she's a good student, she's a runner (he's a runner too) she's attractive (i beg to differ)...but her personality ruins everything." so i told him the lyrics of this song...and after he stoped laughing he said "exactly"
ok yeah, i just wanna say, that chicks are spending too much time getting ready in the morning...ok? get a life a get a personification...personality-ish...ok??? stupid idiots dont we ever get tired of this crap?
Hmm ok.. How about you stop generalising and shoving all women into the self centred stand in front of the mirror for 4 hours to get ready category.. It takes me like 20 mins to get ready... and thats including a shower.. So put that in your pipe and smoke it :P
Hah, what makes you think she's stuck up? She could just be really dumb or racist or something. I'd hate those qualities in someone more.
Oh, and it takes me about three minutes to get up in the morning, and I'm female.
i used to listen to that song alot[ i actually had a similar experience...
I love it. I got the impression that she was just stupid. I had that kind of happening to me. He was totally adorable.. but like. So dumb. Ohh. >_
