This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
As he walked these desolated fields,
he felt his spirit weaken
These were the days that you know not,
this was long ago
The tortured soul of fathers old
was his to seek revenge for
Those of pride who would not bend,
before the laws and gods of man
This was a race you have never seen
and neither will you ever
For these were haunted down
like beasts, by mortal fools
- the human race
In his quest for sweet revenge
he walked so tall and proud
Until he met a figure that now made
him fall and stumble blind
This was what his quest was for
not to seek revenge
This creature in a human shape,
with feelings so intense
He knew her as no other,
but not in shape of man
Their spirit re-united
as he took her by the hand
This was a race you have never seen
and neither will you ever
For these were haunted down like
beasts, by mortal fools
- the human race
In his quest for sweet revenge
he walked so tall and proud
until he met a figure that now made
him fall and stumble blind
This figure was of human race
A woman of such beauty
that he could not help
to stumble on his way to seek revenge
As he looked upon her face he saw
such passion in her eyes
It reminded him
of tales he had heard,
of mankind so-called paradise
Spirit torn from spirit
and spirit torn apart
When human race
saw through his mask,
and tore the two apart
Spirit torn from spirit
and spirit torn apart
Human race I curse thee
With all my blackened heart
he felt his spirit weaken
These were the days that you know not,
this was long ago
The tortured soul of fathers old
was his to seek revenge for
Those of pride who would not bend,
before the laws and gods of man
This was a race you have never seen
and neither will you ever
For these were haunted down
like beasts, by mortal fools
- the human race
In his quest for sweet revenge
he walked so tall and proud
Until he met a figure that now made
him fall and stumble blind
This was what his quest was for
not to seek revenge
This creature in a human shape,
with feelings so intense
He knew her as no other,
but not in shape of man
Their spirit re-united
as he took her by the hand
This was a race you have never seen
and neither will you ever
For these were haunted down like
beasts, by mortal fools
- the human race
In his quest for sweet revenge
he walked so tall and proud
until he met a figure that now made
him fall and stumble blind
This figure was of human race
A woman of such beauty
that he could not help
to stumble on his way to seek revenge
As he looked upon her face he saw
such passion in her eyes
It reminded him
of tales he had heard,
of mankind so-called paradise
Spirit torn from spirit
and spirit torn apart
When human race
saw through his mask,
and tore the two apart
Spirit torn from spirit
and spirit torn apart
Human race I curse thee
With all my blackened heart

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”
I Can't Go To Sleep

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
