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.
Take photographs, Take all your never fears.
We've got some packing to do, We've got some packing to do.
And my jaw aches, Repetation.
Take all your dreams, Take all that's left to see
Write it down, sign your name, go ahead and leave
There's nothing left to loose.
Ooooohhh.
The clouds rip through the sky like dynamite
to my surprise it was a beautiful sight
With our hands open wide
And I can't hide the truth as well as you
Singing woah, Singing woah.
Take photographs, Take all your never fears.
We've got some packing to do, We've got some packing to do.
And my jaw aches, Repetation.
Take all your dreams, Take all that's left to see
Write it down, sign your name, go ahead and leave
There's nothing left to loose.
Ooooohh.
I've got all of these dreams
That no one cares to know about
Cares to dream about with me.
All these memories haunting me, Seeking control.
We've got some packing to do, We've got some packing to do.
And my jaw aches, Repetation.
Take all your dreams, Take all that's left to see
Write it down, sign your name, go ahead and leave
There's nothing left to loose.
Ooooohhh.
The clouds rip through the sky like dynamite
to my surprise it was a beautiful sight
With our hands open wide
And I can't hide the truth as well as you
Singing woah, Singing woah.
Take photographs, Take all your never fears.
We've got some packing to do, We've got some packing to do.
And my jaw aches, Repetation.
Take all your dreams, Take all that's left to see
Write it down, sign your name, go ahead and leave
There's nothing left to loose.
Ooooohh.
I've got all of these dreams
That no one cares to know about
Cares to dream about with me.
All these memories haunting me, Seeking control.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
He never told me what this one meant but i think what he means by this is that he was in love and he shared everything until they broke up and now he still wants to be with her but he doesn't because he doesn't want to get hurt again and now he is lonely.
