This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Wide awake, my mistake, so predictable
You were fake, I was great, nothing personal
I'm walking, who's laughing now?
(Who's laughing, who's laughing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
You talk for hours but you're wasting lines
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
I'm gonna break your little heart in two
A party queen, cause a scene, so ridiculous
Little dress, maybe less, so conspicuous
You're falling, who's crashing now?
(Who's crashing, who's crashing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
I'm moving on but you're left behind
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door
Sew yourself shut and now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
Don't be so sentimental, no
This is love is accidental, so
Give it up, this was never meant to be
More than a memory for you
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
(When I break your little heart in two)
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door
Sew yourself shut, now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
You were fake, I was great, nothing personal
I'm walking, who's laughing now?
(Who's laughing, who's laughing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
You talk for hours but you're wasting lines
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
I'm gonna break your little heart in two
A party queen, cause a scene, so ridiculous
Little dress, maybe less, so conspicuous
You're falling, who's crashing now?
(Who's crashing, who's crashing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
I'm moving on but you're left behind
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door
Sew yourself shut and now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
Don't be so sentimental, no
This is love is accidental, so
Give it up, this was never meant to be
More than a memory for you
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
(When I break your little heart in two)
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door
Sew yourself shut, now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
"Wide awake, my mistake So predictable You were fake, I was great Nothing personal"
I think this is about a guy who wakes up after a one night stand. Looks over at the girl and sees she's the same as all the other, nothing special. She faked everything about the night before, nothing about her is real.
fell in love with this song the first time i listened to it. it was the one i couldn't wait to listen to before i bought nothing personal and i still love it. :D it's definitely about revenge; he's in a relationship that's gone wrong and having problems ("wide awake, my mistake so predictable") and that's he still thinks she's pretty and stuff but she's not worth all the trouble she's caused him ("pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize") so as revenge he's gonna break her heart.
love it. :] i now plan to do this with a guy who broke my heart and was a total idiot with me a while ago. thanks atl! :D
go for it doll !<br /> sometimes guys need to be taught a lesson, so one day<br /> they'll learn to take care of there relationships(:<br /> <3
i think its 'with the chase ain't worth the price'
you wanna look at the lyrics for Stella for me? i don't get this one part
via twitter-<br /> vinny_vegas: "pretty face, but the chase ain't worth the prize!"<br /> <br /> i think he might be right...<br /> ...cause he actually knows the band.<br /> and probably has access to better info.<br /> <br /> and it sounds more like it.<br /> sorry for the wrong interp.<br /> =/<br />
it's<br /> "'cause the chase aint worth the prize"<br /> pretty positive<br /> it's only my favorite song by them so... yeah
IT is "Pretty face, BUT THE chase aint worth the prize" I have the book infront of me. <br />
The whole "wide awake" part is my favorite, I love it. I love them.
i nearly got a t-shirt iwth that on ;D<br /> but they sold out<br /> mine says 'there's nothing surgery can do when i beak your little heat in 2'
i believe it is supose to be:
"I'm wasted, wasting time"
somebody who is good at REMIXING...
or whatever should take this song and edit this part in youtube.com/watch
right after 'more than a memory for you'
and they would be my hero then =]
fuck yes.
i loooove this! the lyrics are great.
anyone know the meaning?
It sounds like the girl used him ('You were fake..") and now he's making her fall in love with him just so he can break her heart and get back at her.
the meanings pretty easy to get Icarus is right. Definitely my fav song off the album and will probably be a hit off of it.
