@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
The man that I am with my man
his warm coals heat toes
A shower cleans the surface and holes
Water, soap and hands
I sit while he stands
over me I can hardly see
that he is peeing on my shoulders and knees
a warm, wet, yellow breeze
He towels my head until dry
And leads me to his bed opened wide
For my penis, nose, fingers and feet
Body worn and set for sleep
Taking out my hand
he lifts me up and we both stand
We could be in the army or the klan
'cause when we're brothers in blood then we are brothers in band
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
The man that i am with my man
Tamed but feeling no blame
Taking my red wishes in hand
Until my eyes have closed
The man that i am with my man
Pulled, poked and probed
His tongue licks my armpits and chest
Warm, red, salt and wet
Making a cut with a knife on my hand
Then he uses his tongue, licks, swallows and grins
On my knees I do the same to my man
Blood juices loosen me up, in me I feel man in man
Taking out his hand
he lifts me up and pets my head
We could be in the army or the klan
'cause when we're brothers in blood then we are brothers in band
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
The men, they are men with their men
Raised in an army camp
They spit on my tarnished hands
and pull at my underpants
I'll be the man who I am with my man
Dressed in borrowed clothes
He softens my deep blues with his thighs
The fear of ocean underside
Taking out their hands
they lift me up and we all stand
We may be in the army or the klan
'cause when we're brothers in blood then we are brothers in band
Taking out his hand
he lifts me up and we both stand
We could be in the army or the klan
'cause when we're brothers in blood then we are brothers in band
his warm coals heat toes
A shower cleans the surface and holes
Water, soap and hands
I sit while he stands
over me I can hardly see
that he is peeing on my shoulders and knees
a warm, wet, yellow breeze
He towels my head until dry
And leads me to his bed opened wide
For my penis, nose, fingers and feet
Body worn and set for sleep
Taking out my hand
he lifts me up and we both stand
We could be in the army or the klan
'cause when we're brothers in blood then we are brothers in band
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
The man that i am with my man
Tamed but feeling no blame
Taking my red wishes in hand
Until my eyes have closed
The man that i am with my man
Pulled, poked and probed
His tongue licks my armpits and chest
Warm, red, salt and wet
Making a cut with a knife on my hand
Then he uses his tongue, licks, swallows and grins

Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man
Solid is the rock of my man

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.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
despite the gay sex, water sports and blood-letting, this is a really beautiful song. haha.
i guess it's about being with somebody that you feel comfortable enough to do anything with. being with a person that can see the real you because you're just not afraid.
Aww I love teh sethbrown
Feeling this way about someone....This song reminds me of nestling down in theri warmth
I like SethBrown's interpretation... I almost wish lyrics were a little less explicit - it'd an awesome wedding march!
