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 see nothing in your eyes
And the more I see the less I like
Is it over yet
In my head
I know nothing of your kind
And I won't reveal your evil mind
Is it over yet
I can't wait
So sacrifice yourself
And let me have whats left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away
You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I'll be the death of you
This will be all over soon
Pour salt into the open wound
Is it over yet
Let me in
So sacrifice yourself
And let me have whats left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away
You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I'll be the death of you
I'm waiting
I'm hating
Realize
Start hiding
You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I'll be the death of you
And the more I see the less I like
Is it over yet
In my head
I know nothing of your kind
And I won't reveal your evil mind
Is it over yet
I can't wait
So sacrifice yourself
And let me have whats left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away
You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I'll be the death of you
This will be all over soon
Pour salt into the open wound
Is it over yet
Let me in
So sacrifice yourself
And let me have whats left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away
You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I'll be the death of you
I'm waiting
I'm hating
Realize
Start hiding
You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I'll be the death of 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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song could also be about someone pursuing a girl, but the more he discovers about her, the less he likes because she is ripping him apart as he unsuccessfully tries to win her over..
The more he tries to persist and keep chasing her, the more angry or regretful he finds himself feeling, which could begin to make him a colder person.
Eventually he confronts her about whatever was holding the relationship or whatever back, and it fills her with guilt so she begins avoiding him out of regret or guilt for what she did.
Ure a real genius.....this does in fact make sense
This really does make sense. It's what this song means to me. Had that exact situation happen to me.
This makes perfect sense too. i just went through that and i had to start hating to get over it cause she was ripping me to shreds. The more i found out, the more i hated, the more i confronted, the more guilty she became... Great job!!<br /> <br /> kinda wish crap like this would stop happening.
I ahree with you. Except I don't think he changes, I feel like he just starts disliking her, in the ending part, "I'm waiting",- he is waiting for her to like him. Then I thought the next line was, "I'm Praying" in which I figured he was praying for her to like him, "Realize, start, hading" he realizes she is a jerk and hates her. Other than that i agree with you.
I agree with the "I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hating." Thats the process or emotions he went through...
