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.
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (oh no)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst, and I'm crazy
For tryna be your lady
I think I'm goin' crazy
Girl, me and you were just fine, you know
We wine and dine
Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Things that lovers say and do
I love you boo, I love you too
I miss you a lot, I miss you even more
That's why I flew you out when we was on tour
But then something got outta hand
You start yellin' when I'm with my friends
Even though I had legitimate reasons (bullshit)
You know I have to make them dividends (bullshit)
How could you trust your private eyes, girl?
That's why you don't believe my lies, and quick to say
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst, and I'm crazy
For tryna be your lady
I think I'm goin' crazy
Why does emotion gotta move so fast?
Love is progress if you could make it last
Why is it that you just lose control?
Every time you agree on takin' it slow
So why is it got to be so damn tough?
'Cause fools in lust could never get enough of love
Showin' him the love that you be givin'
Changing up your livin' for a lovin' transition
Girl, it's a mission tryna get you to listen
We mad at each other has become our tradition
You yell, I yell, everybody yells
Got neighbors across the street sayin'
"Who the hell?"
Who the hell? What the hell's goin' down?
Too much of the bickering
Kill it with the sound and
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst
And I'm crazy (for what?)
(Crazy for what?) For tryna be your lady (oh yeah)
I think I'm goin' crazy
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (what?)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (whatcha say?)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (what?)
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up (girl, whatcha say?)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (girl, whatcha say?)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (no, girl)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
Girl, our love is dying
Why did you stop tryin'
I never been a quiter
But I do deserve better
Believe me I will do bad
Let's forget the past and start this new plan
Why? 'Cause it's the same old routine
And then next week I hear them scream
Girl, I know you're tired of the things they say
You're damn right
'Cause I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
That was a different thing
No, it ain't
That was a different thing
No, it ain't
That was a different thing
It was the same damn thing
Same ass excuses
Boy you're useless
Whoa, oh
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
(Don't go now, no please, I don't know)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (oh no)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
Stop the talking, baby
Or I start walking, baby
Stop the talking, baby (yeah, yeah)
Or I start walking, baby
Stop the talking, baby

Stop the talking, baby (no, oh, oh, oh)

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'
Dusty Springfield
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/
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.
I love this song. I miss listening to it.
THEN LISTEN TO IT BISH!!!!<br /> <br /> ~~Love~~<br /> Mattyyyyyy
