I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
"I've been havin MeatShake for forty years"
"I love MeatShake!"
"Meat and shake, that's all I need, m-hm"
"I have MeatShake every day at school"
"Look, when I'm hungry I need some meat
I don't need none of that rabbit food they're servin over at Veggie Hut"
"Meat to the Shizzake"
"Bro, I down lots of MeatShakes, man"
"I'd love to taste the secret"
"Lunch break, only got a half an hour
Gotta get something in my system, I go to MeatShake"
"Eat at MeatShake!"
"Taste the secret at MeatShaaaaake, hey"
"MeatShakes are so soft, I can eat em without my dentures"
Well hi, welcome to MeatShake where you can 'taste the secret'
And when I tell you what it is, you won't believe it
There's something special in our food you'll taste when you start eating it
Everything we serve has meat in it
But don't you serve french fries and a vegetable plate?
It all has meat (What?)
What about the green salad and the cookies you bake?
Everything has meat (Oh...)
It's nice and tender
Mixed in a blender
Don't you want some meat? (Yeah)
So hot and steamy
Yet smooth and creamy
Come and get your meat (Hey)
Now when your body's hungerin, drive on down and stumble in
Come on, give us half a chance, I promise that you'll come again
If you're not carniverous consider us a challenge
You're too lean and need some proteine, we got it by the gallons
Rest assured our healthy indiscriminating guests prefer
The sweet and meaty morsels we concoct behind my register
Giving good service plus a smile in a paper hat
Our competition's food is crap, who would wanna pay for that?
Please try a beef pie, top it with some meat fries
And a classic MeatShake, baked until the grease dried
40 cents more, you can have your meal meat-sized
Plus you get three tries, scratch and win a free prize
All except you vegan men who need to be leavin and
Head into the Veggie Hut where you can eat some leaves and gran
That is unless of course you wanna taste the secret sin
Come on, breathe it in, you can use your teeth again
Remember that meat's your friend, so let it inside you
Cows gotta die too, don't let them survive you
There's an offer for a free shake when you buy two
Lasts while supplies do, thanks, please drive through
Skinny mini or a beefcake
Hey, you don't need steak, get a MeatShake!
You want a meaty meal but your teeth ache
Hey for Pete's sake, get a MeatShake!
You're gonna take your girl on a cheap date
And you're a cheapskate, so get a MeatShake!
When you purchase a combo meal you receive a souvenir keepsake
Get a MeatShake!

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
