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.
you, doing that thing you do breaking my heart into a million pieces like you always do and you don't mean to be cruel you never even knew about the heartache i've been goin' through well, i try and try to forget you girl but it's just so hard to do every time you do that thing you do and i, know all the games you play and i'm gonna find a way to let you know that you'll be mine someday cause we, could be happy, can't you see if you'd only let me be the one to hold you, and keep you here with me i don't ask a lot girl but i know one thing's for sure it's the love i haven't got girl and i just can't take it anymore.... cause it hurts me so just to see you go around with someone new and if i know you, you're doin' that thing every day, just doing that thing i can't take you doing that thing you do

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/
Sunglasses at Night

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
this song is definitely the best nfg cover version. its about him saying that woah, she blows his mind. its so fast and urgent sounding that the song is somehow over before it begins, cuz it moves so fast and is so great!
hfghg
This is so good, tjey do it so well :) Move over the oneders mwa ha ha....
I love this song. My friend had the covers album and didnt know where this song was from. she hadnt Cn the film. i informed her, i felt so clever :-D

the wonderers was way better at it. NFG did a pretty good job but altogether I like the wonderer's verion more.
penis
it means that this guy is friends with this girl, but falls for her, and without her knowing she breaks his heart by not liking him back. and he knows she doesnt like him, and tries to stop his obsession, but he cant. :)
woh girl/boy, get a life. No need for that talk
i just like this song, no matter who plays it. It has such a genuine classic pop feeling that makes you happy. Everyone can relate, because everyones had a crush. It's great.
