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.
Come on girl
Let's sneak out of this party
It's getting boring
There's more to life than this
It's still early morning
We could go down to the harbor
And jump between the boats
And see the sun come up
We could nick a boat
And sneak off to this island
I could bring my little ghetto blaster
There's more to life than this
But then we'd have to rush back
To the town's best baker
To get the first bread of the morning
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
Let's sneak out of this party
It's getting boring
There's more to life than this
It's still early morning
We could go down to the harbor
And jump between the boats
And see the sun come up
We could nick a boat
And sneak off to this island
I could bring my little ghetto blaster
There's more to life than this
But then we'd have to rush back
To the town's best baker
To get the first bread of the morning
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this
There's more to life than this

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
Ed Sheeran

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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. It tells you to get out and DO SOMETHING. And the toilet? LOL.
& the word ghettoblaster? Awesome synonym for boombox.
It was really a public bathroom...LOL
i love the fact that this song was recorded in a restroom! that gives it that really neeta sound. I have to concede that it's one of my favorite songs (bjork/otherwise!)
its a cute song - sounds like she has fun with the lyrics too
I love how she used the word ghettoblaster in the song, it's priceless.
I think it's hilarious that this was recorded in a restroom. It's a very...cute song! I hate having to use that word, but it's the only way to describe this song.
Was it really a restroom, or was that just the name of the venue?
There's more to life than partying: experiencing the wonder of the world.
this song is great i love that it was recorded in a bathroom
