This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Today's been a career day
Futures made and fortunes lost
As I'm standing in the lobby
Waiting for the elevator to take me away
Up to 9 or 10 or maybe 11
The sound of sirens fading as she whispers in my ear
She's saying
"It's too late to wish success,
So get undressed and please just come to bed.
'Cause I'm the last real thing you've got.
You're cursed by all ambitious thoughts.
Is that all you've got?"
As for you, you spin a story like a
Spider spins a web.
See that's a metaphor,
No wait, a simile.
I'm still learning but I think I'm getting better.
Oh, if I'm not tortured how are you ever going to relate.
I've been condemned by those I love
Wishing me the worst as I try my best.
But she's the last real thing I've got.
I'm cursed by all abitious thoughts.
Is that all you've got?
Love, close your eyes.
And cover your ears.
For the end is near,
But the beginning is here.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
I'm gonna tie all the loose ends I once pulled
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
Preparing for faliure from what we've been told
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
With nothing to offer so nothings been sold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
Forgive me and give me one more chance to fold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
There's nothing to lose when there's nothing to hold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
...We'll be together in the morning
Futures made and fortunes lost
As I'm standing in the lobby
Waiting for the elevator to take me away
Up to 9 or 10 or maybe 11
The sound of sirens fading as she whispers in my ear
She's saying
"It's too late to wish success,
So get undressed and please just come to bed.
'Cause I'm the last real thing you've got.
You're cursed by all ambitious thoughts.
Is that all you've got?"

I'm still learning but I think I'm getting better.
Oh, if I'm not tortured how are you ever going to relate.
I've been condemned by those I love
Wishing me the worst as I try my best.
But she's the last real thing I've got.
I'm cursed by all abitious thoughts.
Is that all you've got?
Love, close your eyes.
And cover your ears.
For the end is near,
But the beginning is here.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
I'm gonna tie all the loose ends I once pulled
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
Preparing for faliure from what we've been told
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
With nothing to offer so nothings been sold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
Forgive me and give me one more chance to fold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
There's nothing to lose when there's nothing to hold
In with the outro,
And out with the old.
...We'll be together in the morning

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I Can't Go To Sleep

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 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 this one's about success & the future partly.... Preparing for faliure from what we've been told..etc.
and then about letting go & just letting things be.
no matter what he does, how ever many times he fails, this girl will always be there, she doesn't care if he has a job, in fact, she might not want him to have one, she just wants to love him
my favorite line would have to be "I'm cursed by all abitious thoughts"
dunno why, but it just seems to get the whole meaning of the song into one line
this is such a great song.
it's the future. what it holds and what you'll make of it, whether it will be a success or a failure, who may or may not be there with you, and making amends with the past.
this. song. is. amazing.

i love this song it seems like hes given up hope bc of all the pessimism around him
no look if you listen to all of the format songs from the 2 albums this song is about how they finally got together and he thinks that finally things might have worked out and he thinks that they still might be together at the release of the new cd (which they werent) and he realizes this but he still holds on to that hope b/c he is a hopeless romantic and this relationship is the inspiration for his songs, the format is not in it for the money but for the music so all of their songs are personal and have a specific meaning if given context

I think it might be about the music industry, and how Nate feels about his music and how the public will react to it. "I'm cursed be all ambitious thoughts," is of course Nate and all his musical ideas. All the last lines, "Preparing for failure for what we've been told" and "With nothing to offer so nothings been told" are the thoughts of the young band.
