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.
Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Oh, Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri must be dreaming
When Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Oh, Yuri wakes up screaming
Oh, Yuri must be dreaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri must be dreaming
When Yuri wakes up screaming
Get me out of here, mommy?
Yuri needs a lot of sleep
Yuri needs a lot of sleep
Yuri needs a lot of sleep or he might die
Or he might die
I'm scaring the crap out of you
In the middle of the night
Yuri wakes up screaming
Oh, Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri must be dreaming
When Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Oh, Yuri wakes up screaming
Oh, Yuri must be dreaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri wakes up screaming
Yuri must be dreaming
When Yuri wakes up screaming
Get me out of here, mommy?
Yuri needs a lot of sleep
Yuri needs a lot of sleep
Yuri needs a lot of sleep or he might die
Or he might die
I'm scaring the crap out of you
In the middle of the night

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
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.
