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.
Hello Monday
Seems like Friday happened just the other day
Tuesday fades to Friday morning
Then it started up again
What will I do?
Month is through
Nothing seems to change
I guess I'll have to wait for Friday
To turn into another day
Turn into another day
Turn into another day, now
I'm not tired but I'm caught in runnin round, and I dunno
In and out and runnin round and I dunno
Hello no one
How will I be doing nothing til tomorrow?
Something told me nowhere called
To tell me nothing will be home
Somehow could not find the words
That can be used to fill my story
Guess you'll have to fake the rest
Because it might be rather boring
Yeah, it might be rather boring
Might be rather boring to you
Could it be an atrophy
Of memories
Or loss of face as
Many years I can't recall
Situation's all that weighs here
Perhaps I should be happy with
The many things I can't remember
Battle through the solitude
Yet another lonely winter
Yet another lonely winter
Yet another lonely winter
Half the time I called it right and I dunno
In and out and (runnin round?) and I dunno
Always dealin never fighting, I dunno
Is this living worth dying? I dunno
Seems like Friday happened just the other day
Tuesday fades to Friday morning
Then it started up again
What will I do?
Month is through
Nothing seems to change
I guess I'll have to wait for Friday
To turn into another day
Turn into another day
Turn into another day, now
I'm not tired but I'm caught in runnin round, and I dunno
In and out and runnin round and I dunno
Hello no one
How will I be doing nothing til tomorrow?
Something told me nowhere called
To tell me nothing will be home
Somehow could not find the words
That can be used to fill my story
Guess you'll have to fake the rest
Because it might be rather boring
Yeah, it might be rather boring
Might be rather boring to you
Could it be an atrophy
Of memories
Or loss of face as
Many years I can't recall
Situation's all that weighs here
Perhaps I should be happy with
The many things I can't remember
Battle through the solitude
Yet another lonely winter
Yet another lonely winter
Yet another lonely winter
Half the time I called it right and I dunno
In and out and (runnin round?) and I dunno
Always dealin never fighting, I dunno
Is this living worth dying? I dunno

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.
Oh my god this is such a great song.
