This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have the tapes
I have the plan of a clockwork man
He was happy to walk
Where I always ran
When I'm orchestrated, automated, decimated, regulated
From three folls' creek
From underground by a despot man and a clown
If you choose to walk instead with a clockwork man
Map of warm roads in his concrete hand
Tell me, does he miss reeling?
Does he miss falling?
Can he take you where the boom bands play?
When you're underground
Can he read the sounds
And chase the Hakken-Kraks away?
I have the plan of a clockwork man
He was happy to walk
Where I always ran
When I'm orchestrated, automated, decimated, regulated
From three folls' creek
From underground by a despot man and a clown
If you choose to walk instead with a clockwork man
Map of warm roads in his concrete hand
Tell me, does he miss reeling?
Does he miss falling?
Can he take you where the boom bands play?
When you're underground
Can he read the sounds
And chase the Hakken-Kraks away?

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.

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.

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.
First heard this song while living in Houston on KTRU. I find the organ dissonance to be utterly perfect; very reminiscent of Archive. To me this song is suicide in motion.
I believe this song is about one's heart becoming numb after being broken too many times (or perhaps just one). There's this guy that doesn't fall in love out of fear, thus he never gets his heart broken. He always keeps his cool, he walks ("I always ran") through warm roads, he doesn't fall, he is in fact like a clockwork man. He is always in control.
In the last strophe the methods of this clockwork man are questioned. Yeah, he never gets hurt, he never falls, but, doesn't he miss that? Doesn't he miss loving at the risk of getting hurt? Doesn't he miss losing control? Because love, my friends, is all about losing control. Can he really take "you" (some girl, I imagine) where the boombands play? Can he show the beautiful things in life being the way he is (all numb)? I believe not.
I don't know if I made myself clear, English is not my mother tongue and I always have a hard time trying to be clear. I think I just repeated the lyrics. Well, I hope you get my point. Great song by way. And remember, loving is always worth the risk of falling.
@Abel Tumacácori I think you're on to something. Except this is applicable to more than just love. It's a man who generally doesn't take risks in his life but lives by routine, only ever doing what he knows and is instructed to do by some authority (orchestrated, automated, decimated, regulated). And that way yeah he might not fall, but he never discovers the Seussian magic in this world.
what the hell are Hakken-Kraks?? is that a dr. seuss reference?? I'm really not sure if that's what he's saying, but I don't think I can do much better...
boom bands and hakken-kraks are from Oh the places you’ll go by Dr. Suess.
"Somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying. You’ll find the bright places Where Boom Bands are playing."
"But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go Though the Hakken-Kraks howl"
this song is amazing i love that weird wavering noise in the background
