@[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.
To seem you're me in me and over me
Relief in all things
And all things shoot through me
And all things shoot through you
Wherever you are
To seem you're a dream
When you never stop
And we ask you what you are
Belief as one with what you believe in
Travel slowly
Move in circles
You know time grows old in reverse
Life as a thing that began
And was magnified
And made the first fire and the last one
To mean everything you never say
Every single thing going every way
When your leader's gone
He means to make you strong
He never went away
'Cause what you need you are
Relief in all things
And all things shoot through me
And all things shoot through you
Wherever you are
To seem you're a dream
When you never stop
And we ask you what you are
Belief as one with what you believe in
Travel slowly
Move in circles
You know time grows old in reverse
Life as a thing that began
And was magnified
And made the first fire and the last one
To mean everything you never say
Every single thing going every way
When your leader's gone
He means to make you strong
He never went away
'Cause what you need you are

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
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think in a way its kind of a love song but magical...all things shoot through me and all things shoot through you....your a dream..move in circles...made the first fire and the last one....it seems like two people really connect but in the end of the song its almost like it ended but for good reasons...he means to make you strong he never went away..cuz what you need you are...Its kinda self explanatory
my favorite part of the song: "When your leader's gone He means to make you strong He never went away Cuz what you need you are"
i dont really know what to say about this song. it's really good. umm when he says "And all things shoot through me And all things shoot through you Wherever you are To seem you're a dream When you never stop And we ask you what you are Belief as one with what you believe in Travel slowly Move in circles You know time grows oldi n reverse Life as a thing that began And was magnified And made the first fire and the last one"
grosso modo, that's just pretty much how everything is connected, i think. and when he says relief in all things it means that even though you go through something tough you'll find some relief in a certain aspect of the situation, since everything is connected together in some way...
dosedxbyyou, I think your comment about going through something tough but finding relief in it - hit the nail on the head.
I think the most important line is "Cuz what you need you are". After listening to many of John's songs he seems to be very concerned with the idea of fate and everyones ability to affect their own fate. Although it is surely not this simple, I think it is what he is getting at. Thats my opinion.
this is one of the rare songs john makes where every line has its meaning. the main aspect coming thriugh here is that of fate in everyone. he believes that everyone should see the real side of themselves and this is the way to help people relese that and get the relief of them. i dodnt have time to say about the lines ill be back later though. it takes a while to construct how to put this stuff in. ill be back in about an hour
ok im back. to seem your me im me and over me_to see you sitting ther deppresed relief in all things_there is relief in everything and all the things shhot through meeverything passes by me and all the things shoot thriugh you your not the only one wherever you are_ dosent matter what world, still the same to seem your a dream_what it says when you never stop_you dont stop to think bout above and we ask you what you arekind of putting you down but for your own good belief as one with what you believe in Believe what you want not what others want you to travel slowely_ rhcp ref; soul to squeeze move in circlesmove where and when you want you know time grows old in reverse time is just gonna repeate itself and get old life as a thing that beganlife is always crap at times and was magnified makes people see it more and makes them deppressed and made the first fire and the last one made the first mistake and last to mean everything you never say you never tell outside your circle every single thing going every way people are tottally diffrent when your leeders gone when the one you love has gone he means to make you strong they dont want you to be sad bout it he never went away their still living in your heart cuz what you need you are_ you will always be the last line that i dont know what it means. prob something like what energy you need to get over the pain is within you and once you find it then its allot of relief to you. thankyou for spending your time reading i hope its right or ive just made a great fool of myself
"travel slowly, move in circles" Dont moove too fast and forget who you are or were. As a person you will change and evolve slowly, but you cant lose sight of your past. by traveling in circles you come back to the same places where you were, but as a slightly different person. maybe this ties in with "you make it through the day, see things another way"
i like what you said ILJF.
the way the electronic introductions and tracks are used to change the moods on this album are nothing short of brilliant.
strange feeling right now by any chance a little bit about hillel slovak just a thought in my head right now prob wrong thiugh
