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.
Like a brand new trend,
You’ll be my new girlfriend
I’ll make you back before your brothers even know you left
And every song I sing
Will be your favorite thing
I wrote this one for you
Why aren’t you singing?
We’ll get in my new car
I’ll be a movie star
And I’ll break your heart
Then you fall apart
But I don’t care at all
Who you really are
And when we’re done you get the fuck out of my car
I never told you to
I never think about you
I never holded you
I forget how to
I never cared about you
I never saw that in you
I never loved you
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
x2
C’mon x3
Baby, you’re in love now
And now we’re dug out
And then I’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
I’d stop it if I could
But I don’t think I would
I had no idea
I could look so good
And something’s telling me
Predictability
Hang on, ‘cause I’m a time bomb baby
And we will make it through
If you want to
I’ll get a new tattoo
That says ‘I love you’
And when I find someone new
What am I gonna do?
I’ll just change the name
To what better suits you
I never told you to
I never think about you
I never holded you
I forget how to
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
x2
C’mon x3
Baby, you’re in love now
And now we’re dug out
And then I’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
Baby, you’ve got your gun out
You pull the trigger now
Are you in love now?
I dug out (check, check, check)
Are you in love now?
Are you in love now?
I never cared about you
I never saw that in you
I never loved you
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
x2
C’mon x3
Baby, you’re in love now
And now we’re dug out
And then I’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
Baby’s got your gun out
Baby, you’re in love now

Baby’s got your gun out
Baby, you’re in love

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
oops i meant: "Then i'll make a baby Well you better pull the fucking trigger"
