This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Tear me open at the seams.
Take everything you need.
Take my heart if you like the beat,
Take my lungs if it's hard to breathe,
To breathe.
"I'm not cold," she said,
But she's shaking as she's lying next to me naked.
Pulled the hair back from her face
To let that smile heat this place.
And this feels so far from real.
I'm lost and I love it.
I can't take it, if you're waiting.
I am ready to tell the world about a girl
Who showed me love again for the first time.
And it's everything I dreamed of.
Tell me what you thought about
When you were breathing oh so loud,
Screaming oh so loud.
Tell me if this is real.
I need to know before I get too close.
So here we lie in this beautiful mess
Of tangled sheets and beads of sweat.
With my heart in your hand and my neck in the other,
Should I be scared or should I come closer?
But it's still beating and I'm still breathing.
You haven't hurt me yet.
Morning always comes too quick when you're around,
When you're around.
You leave me lying here so they don't find us out,
They'll find us out.
Tear me open at the seams,
Take everything you need.
Take my heart if you like the beat,
Take my lungs if it's hard to breathe.
Take everything you need.
Take my heart if you like the beat,
Take my lungs if it's hard to breathe,
To breathe.
"I'm not cold," she said,
But she's shaking as she's lying next to me naked.
Pulled the hair back from her face
To let that smile heat this place.
And this feels so far from real.
I'm lost and I love it.
I can't take it, if you're waiting.
I am ready to tell the world about a girl
Who showed me love again for the first time.
And it's everything I dreamed of.
Tell me what you thought about
When you were breathing oh so loud,
Screaming oh so loud.
Tell me if this is real.
I need to know before I get too close.
So here we lie in this beautiful mess
Of tangled sheets and beads of sweat.
With my heart in your hand and my neck in the other,
Should I be scared or should I come closer?
But it's still beating and I'm still breathing.
You haven't hurt me yet.
Morning always comes too quick when you're around,
When you're around.
You leave me lying here so they don't find us out,
They'll find us out.
Tear me open at the seams,
Take everything you need.
Take my heart if you like the beat,
Take my lungs if it's hard to breathe.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i think this songs about new love.. and letting go of being scared about giving in ..and letting yourself feel it completely.
