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”
it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love..
we fall in love..
it was the best idea i ever had.
today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing
today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing
today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing
do you want a song of glory?
well i'm fucking screaming at you
it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love..
we fall in love..
it was the best idea i ever had.
today i fell, it felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love..
we fall in love..
it was the best idea i ever had.
today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing
today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing
today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing
do you want a song of glory?
well i'm fucking screaming at you
it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love..
we fall in love..
it was the best idea i ever had.
today i fell, it felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

@[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.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Here's a tip, when something is repeated, you don't have to type it out every time.
From their website: "A Box Full Of Sharp Objects" salutes the creative outlet
I can't say I have one definate answer to what this song means, but there's nothing to imply that he mutilated himself... or even that a relationship ended.
I'm assuming he is praising the entrance of people who truly care about him into his life. The sharp opjects could be anything, and based on the hint from the website I would venture to say they could be pens or pencils.
Also, since he has a drug related past, it could be a box full of needles, which haven't been used... thus he feels stronger.
It's really impossible to know for sure without hearing it from the band, and it's the same with most lryics.
okay, I think considering Bert's past (with drugs) this song is probably about getting clean. when he says "fallen in love" I think he could be referring to the drugs and how he became addicted. "today I fell and felt better, just knowing this matters" I think by that he means, well...the drugs had created a numb world for him and now he is getting clean and regaining feeling. Its like he's saying he fell, and the pain was actually refreshing compared to not feeling anything when you're on drugs. "I just feel stronger and sharper!" that one is obvious, he is proud of himself and what he's accomplished by getting off drugs. Now, I think someone already made this point--and I just absolutely agree, when he says "found a box of sharp objects. what a beautiful thing!" He is talking about the un-used needles (drugs, duh).
That is my best interpretation of the song, hope I'm right or at least close, lol. :P
"That song, for me, is about drugs and alcohol and loss and love," rambled McCracken. "It's about being proud of who you are, being proud of your situation and just being stoked that things are always going to get better or always gonna get worse and that's such a great thing. Every day is a new surprise."
Yeah this song and band is awesome. Pretty much I think this song is about a break up, of course. He feels better and wiser now after the incident. Perhaps the "box of sharp objects" refers to you know how you felt you been stabbed or scared because of this break up. Now all that pain is a "beautiful thing." He feels "stronger and sharper."
I think this song means, Even though love was good for a while. It began to hurt and so he resorted to self mutalation or cutting to relieve his pain.
not sure what it means but i think the best lines in the song are
"it's our time to shine through the down glorified by what is ours we've fallen in love.. we fall in love.. it was the best idea i ever had."
i think the song definately was meant to be taken as something dealing with self mutilation...the feeling "down" before and the up-time afterward when everything is back to normal or alright. i also think it's to be taken as...well something else. there's always two sides to things and i definately think there's more of and underlying meaning since that's the beauty of poetry. i basically said what everybody else already said, but i thought i'd throw my two cents in. awesome song and band!!
This song kind of reminds me of a Taproot song with the calm singing and then throwing in the screaming every now and then. Kick ass song
i dont think the sharp objects men cutting. i thinkits like a memory box and it cuts at him thru memories and emotion. come on now, the used is deeper tan cutting. at least i think . oh well. the rock my sox the fuck right off and thats all that matters
It seems to me that he's singing about actually being in love, and enjoying it. The box of sharp objects is love, and all it entails, good and bad. But, the good outweighs that. Maybe I'm dumb, and just tkae songs at face value, but, that's what it sems to me.
