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”
See the way you look at me
You love me more than TV
We'll get along
Don't get me wrong
But I don't wanna sing that song
Cus I've given it away to girls before
(To girls before, to girls before)
For them to love and to adore
(To adore, to adore)
But they stomped on me, tearing it apart
So you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
No more
Cus he's locked away inside a room
He's drinking beer, watching cartoons
No-one can see him, not even you
Cus I jammed that lock with superglue
Cus I've given it away to girls before
(To girls before, to girls before)
For them to love and to adore
(To adore, to adore)
But they stomped on me, tearing it apart
So you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
No more
I get this feeling in my gut
I'd like to go steady with you but
I won't let it show until it's over
Because there's some games that you shouldn't play
It's just five seconds of fame
You can say that I'm stuck in a rut
But
You can't break my heart
No, you can't break my heart
No, you can't break my heart
No, you can't break my heart
You can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
No, you can't break my heart
(You can't break my heart)
(Break my, break my)
No, you can't break my heart

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
Plastic Bag

“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.
I had to have a stab at this by ear, so the middle eight might be wrong. The rest I'm all pretty sure I got right, though.
