This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You never need your American
You never take what you say seriously
You're on the bay
You're on the late of things
You've got it made
And when you wake
It's all in there
You never said you'd do anything
You made excuses for your mind
Objected core the collective
Don't you dare forget it
Don't you forget it
Don't you forget
Don't do it
In the age of the military
You are engaged with such fanfare activity
Let them do things as they please
In our grace you now can afford
If you were red, you'd be spoken for
Your color blue it's great
In the arms of the one you love
You feel safe, your feel so above
The hunger of the streets
With your safe and your document
In its place your money, your gun
Your conscience sweet like honey
You forbid yourself to things
See where you are as you begin to sink
In your mirror, in your mirror
In your mirror, in your face
In your mirror, in your face
You never take what you say seriously
You're on the bay
You're on the late of things
You've got it made
And when you wake
It's all in there
You never said you'd do anything
You made excuses for your mind
Objected core the collective
Don't you dare forget it
Don't you forget it
Don't you forget
Don't do it
In the age of the military
You are engaged with such fanfare activity
Let them do things as they please
In our grace you now can afford
If you were red, you'd be spoken for
Your color blue it's great
In the arms of the one you love
You feel safe, your feel so above
The hunger of the streets
With your safe and your document
In its place your money, your gun
Your conscience sweet like honey
You forbid yourself to things
See where you are as you begin to sink
In your mirror, in your mirror
In your mirror, in your face
In your mirror, in your face

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.
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.
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'm agreeing with PantherPanther's post, this song has a theme of pessimism and even existentialism.
"Looking across the faces I've know I can see Nothing" Maybe the narrator has an inability to connect with others on an emotional level, or perhaps shows how the narrator has no meaningful relationships.
Excellent song, though.
