This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Walking bones
Choose your own direction
Go have fun some place else
Bring your soul
And your Beach Boys records
I can't stand to have you here
So worn out
Cold and dehydrated
The fortune's spent
And dad's in space
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space
Show her some respect she's all worn down
For years to come
I will not forget you
As my sun, as my pain
Time will heal
What now feels so wounded
Tears are spilled
And the holes will fill
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space
Choose your own direction
Go have fun some place else
Bring your soul
And your Beach Boys records
I can't stand to have you here
So worn out
Cold and dehydrated
The fortune's spent
And dad's in space
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space
Show her some respect she's all worn down
For years to come
I will not forget you
As my sun, as my pain
Time will heal
What now feels so wounded
Tears are spilled
And the holes will fill
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space

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”

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.

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is about his parents. everyone should have a mom in love refers to the fact that his mother was in love with a guy from norway, and a daddy in space refers to the fact that his father was almost always drunk. His parents didn't / don't have a good relationship with each other, and yes it can give everyone a troubled childhood, but the song is focused more on "this is what it was like at home - but look what i've become - i turned out good - everyone should have it like i did"
This song is about someone who is kicked out of home...I think
wow i cant believe no more people have commented on these amazing lyrics. im going to start out on a more general note. this song is about widow who has lost the love of her life. he has gone up into space but she is still stuck with her feelings of love, guarding these feeling with her defense of porcelain cats by the window. basically she's just sitting at home wasting away, not allowing anybody to get close to her. she's angry at the world and wants no sould or happy go lucky beach boy records. but nonetheless we should show her some respect, because she's got nothing left. she's all worn out. <br /> <br /> whats really special about this song is the fact that it perfectly describes my relationship with my ex. she had lost a her long time boyfriend and was left with a infant daughter. She herself made me aware of this, and so it was kind of our theme song. the thematic implications only became more noticably as our relationship evolved and she slowly grew tired of me. she could get over her boyfriend after all and all she had left in the end was hate. but at no point did i hold this against her, because i knew that she was indeed all worn out. she had had a troubled childhood and her first boyfriend had been the only thing connecting her to the world, now her daughter had taken over this role but it was only by a miracle that she was clinging to life. i feel the song is adressing me aswell i really felt she was my sun and pain at the same time and i did initially feel wounded but with time my holes did fill :)
awesome
Well Kasper Eistrup stated a koncert last year, that this song was not about a troubled childhood.
