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”
The case for the catwalk
Clues are too cool for the kids
The importance of keeping your clothes on
And taking your mind off of this
Oh so many buildings
Museums and churches, historical houses
Eat in or take away anything that fits in your mouth
Open top buses are winding round things of general interest
I'm interested in something, the direction you take
If you want to get out out out out
Every night I am woken by police
Put this city in disrepute if it means I can sleep
The case for the catwalk
Clues are too cool for the kids
The importance of keeping your clothes on
And taking your mind off of this
The casual and the clean cut
Find me somewhere I can stay
I'm looking for pastimes and lifestyles
To keep my attention at bay
Fields are followed by fields
The village store opens whenever it likes
I drive behind tractors that drive behind families on bikes
The neighbourhood watch
Or is it that the neighbourhood like to pry
Some try but I just want to know the direction
You have got to take to get out
Every morning I'm woken by sheep
Let the foot and the mouth prevail
If it means I can sleep
The case for the catwalk
Clues are too cool for the kids
The importance of keeping your clothes on
And taking your mind off of this
The casual and the clean cut
Find me somewhere I can stay
I'm looking for pastimes and lifestyles
To keep my attention at bay
Every place every person
The grass turns out to be astroturf
And I just want to sleep
The case for the catwalk
Clues are too cool for the kids
The importance of keeping your clothes on
And taking your mind off of this
The casual and the clean cut
Find me somwhere I can stay
I'm looking for pastimes and lifestyles
To keep my attention at bay
Clues are too cool for the kids
The importance of keeping your clothes on
And taking your mind off of this
Oh so many buildings
Museums and churches, historical houses
Eat in or take away anything that fits in your mouth
Open top buses are winding round things of general interest
I'm interested in something, the direction you take
If you want to get out out out out
Every night I am woken by police
Put this city in disrepute if it means I can sleep
The case for the catwalk
Clues are too cool for the kids
The importance of keeping your clothes on
And taking your mind off of this
The casual and the clean cut
Find me somewhere I can stay
I'm looking for pastimes and lifestyles
To keep my attention at bay
Fields are followed by fields
The village store opens whenever it likes
I drive behind tractors that drive behind families on bikes
The neighbourhood watch
Or is it that the neighbourhood like to pry
Some try but I just want to know the direction
You have got to take to get out
Every morning I'm woken by sheep
Let the foot and the mouth prevail
If it means I can sleep
The case for the catwalk
Clues are too cool for the kids
The importance of keeping your clothes on
And taking your mind off of this
The casual and the clean cut
Find me somewhere I can stay
I'm looking for pastimes and lifestyles
To keep my attention at bay
Every place every person
The grass turns out to be astroturf
And I just want to sleep
The case for the catwalk
Clues are too cool for the kids
The importance of keeping your clothes on
And taking your mind off of this
The casual and the clean cut
Find me somwhere I can stay
I'm looking for pastimes and lifestyles
To keep my attention at bay

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.
i think this is rather about being buried alive, living in a really small town. Love that line: "...I drive behind tractors that drive behind families on bikes..."
