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.
Stop your nonsense, my dear
I know you need attention
So slash an artery
You are so transparent
Can't see your own reflection
You look the same to me
(Now let go)
This baby popped my heart
He fell to pieces
He turned cold
He never did what he was told
This baby sucked me dry
He cried to make me turned to stone
He took his bottle, he went home
Oh baby Dracula
Your romantic notion
Won't hide your pale complexion
Or vulnerability
And it hurts to know you
Won't be the one exception
Here's a philosophy
(Just let go)
This baby popped my heart
He fell to pieces
He turned cold
He never did what he was told
This baby sucked me dry
He cried to make me turned to stone
He took his bottle, he went home
Oh baby Dracula
You've lost your relevance Mr. Black
I gave you everything, give it back
You won't win and I'll tell you why
You've betrayed a person who bleeds but won't die
Red is your reason and alibi
Sucked off everyone say goodnight
When your narrow coffin's rotting from the inside
Then you know to let go, think it's time you tried
I know you need attention
So slash an artery
You are so transparent
Can't see your own reflection
You look the same to me
(Now let go)
This baby popped my heart
He fell to pieces
He turned cold
He never did what he was told
This baby sucked me dry
He cried to make me turned to stone
He took his bottle, he went home
Oh baby Dracula
Your romantic notion
Won't hide your pale complexion
Or vulnerability
And it hurts to know you
Won't be the one exception
Here's a philosophy
(Just let go)
This baby popped my heart
He fell to pieces
He turned cold
He never did what he was told
This baby sucked me dry
He cried to make me turned to stone
He took his bottle, he went home
Oh baby Dracula
You've lost your relevance Mr. Black
I gave you everything, give it back
You won't win and I'll tell you why
You've betrayed a person who bleeds but won't die
Red is your reason and alibi
Sucked off everyone say goodnight
When your narrow coffin's rotting from the inside
Then you know to let go, think it's time you tried

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.

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I always saw it as a song from the perspective of a girl with a guy friend who likes her romantically, but she doesn't feel the same, and so he becomes upset. At first she accommodates him, and tries to make him feel better, but he just keeps acting like an infant and it's draining her. Finally she just tells him that the best thing to do would be to shut up and let it go, causing him to end the friendship altogether. The last part is like her explaining that he's always going to be alone as long as he has that attitude.
The song is about someone who uses and uses and she finally sees him for what he is and tells him to get the fuck out. Hes used up so many others aso hes use to not haveing somone say fuck off. She tried everything she could do but it just wasn't enough so she got sick of it.<br /> <br /> JOJ > Scarling. End of discussion<br /> <br /> They are 2 seperate bands and they both have good qualities and bad. But JOJ is easily the better band.<br /> <br /> That is all.
