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”
Slut down (Slut down!)
You got to treat them right
Dispatch the boys and leave her spread on site
Slut down, she's not the guilty type
She'll make her rounds
And call you moaning in spite
Daddy's little superficial heart attack
(This emotional brat can't feel emotion)
Emotion I lack
Because your sex is a diversionary past time
(And your looks are only temporary)
Am I dead or sleeping?
Man down (Man down!)
Just pull yourself upright
With your knack for class it'll be just fine
Man down, don't kid yourself, big guy
Impending doom is your calling in life
And how far is failure from the starting line?
With legs like that, I see why
You've been running for so long
But a king can't build an empire without his queen
The working girl and her dirty red light story
(She says there has been no one before)
We lost transmission (can't talk sex)
And sex means love so it's deceased
(she won't bleed) You're not the first to be deceived
Oh yes, she'd bleed, if it were up to me
Claiming back that heart she swore to me
And how far is failure from the starting line?
With legs like that, I see why
You've been running for so long
But a king can't build an empire without his queen
I say I lost mine at eighteen
She's been active since twelve
I say I'm coming back home
My bird is heading down south
I've been crawling on the floor
She's been laid out in bed
Since then I've been drinking to live
My standards suffered instead
She's nothing but an aging weathered hole
She's nothing but an aging weathered hole
She's nothing but an aging weathered hole
She's nothing but an aging weathered hole
She's showing off her world
And I'm having trouble breathing
I found my equal
She said "Shut your mouth just breathe
And come a little closer
You look better inside me"
And how far is failure from the starting line?
With legs like that, I see why
You've been running for so long
But a king can't build an empire without his queen
She's nothing but an aging weathered hole
You got to treat them right
Dispatch the boys and leave her spread on site
Slut down, she's not the guilty type
She'll make her rounds
And call you moaning in spite
Daddy's little superficial heart attack
(This emotional brat can't feel emotion)
Emotion I lack
Because your sex is a diversionary past time
(And your looks are only temporary)
Am I dead or sleeping?
Man down (Man down!)
Just pull yourself upright
With your knack for class it'll be just fine
Man down, don't kid yourself, big guy
Impending doom is your calling in life
And how far is failure from the starting line?
With legs like that, I see why
You've been running for so long
But a king can't build an empire without his queen
The working girl and her dirty red light story
(She says there has been no one before)
We lost transmission (can't talk sex)
And sex means love so it's deceased
(she won't bleed) You're not the first to be deceived

Claiming back that heart she swore to me
And how far is failure from the starting line?

She's nothing but an aging weathered hole

With legs like that, I see why
You've been running for so long
But a king can't build an empire without his queen
She's nothing but an aging weathered hole

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

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.

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.
i love how this song sounds, but as far as the meaning, i get confused. !:S haha
