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”
This is for anyone wishing they could do their entire life over:
Quit sulking, you fuckin' pussy.
Yeah yeah yeah, clown on my accent all you want.
I'll whoop your ass. I'll whoop your grandmother's ass.
I'll whoop your sister's ass. I'll beat your mom's ass.
I'll beat your ass. It's the anti-socialite not-so-christian
That will talk more shit than bitter and old women
On puny ass rappers with little-to-no rhythm.
Fuck veganism give me some general tso's chicken.
I write weird songs that got hooks like Journey
And if i grew my hair out i'd probably look like Fergie
But I'd never tinkle in my pants while I was on stage
Cause I was potty trained when I was four years of age.
I think a lot of people these days are bitches,
I also think that emo and emotional are different.
But more so I hate white girls that talk like,
"Aww hell naw, girl I'm gettin' this shit crunk, you know what I'm sayin'?"
I'm not jokin', it's nothing but bark, I feel lost.
Can't remember where the fuck that i parked.
The world is gray and blue but what skates me through
Is knowing that I have a better music taste than you.
I used to like Tool until they made the same album that
They made the last time they made the same album.
Every time they make a damn album it's the same album, really.
And only stoners listen to their music, it's silly.
I still think the Deftones are dope,
And I like Nick Drake on the days I wanna let go of hope.
Wilco is great and Ice-T is still clever
And no matter what its always Wu-Tang forever.
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
I don't need lovin' and I don't need help
I'd rather ride in the car by my goddamn self
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
I don't need lovin' and I don't need help
I'd rather ride in the car by my goddamn self
I'm 25 i started rapping as a sophmore
In those days I'd hide my cigarettes in my sock drawer
Until I heard my mom snoring sleeping on the green couch
And then I'd secretively sneak out.
My first taste of heartbreak was at the park late one summer night
I had a big crush on a girl named Sara
I was gonna ask her out until I saw Tim Phillips kissing her, grabbin' her butt. Asshole! I was madder than fuck and walked home.
Oh, Tim Phillips smells like cool water cologne.
Well fuck him, his Mustang and all his other friends
I vowed i would never love again and since then I've dated,
But fuck that I can't give nothing
I'd rather sail alone than have my damn ship sunken
Being single's par for the course,
I don't wanna cause a marriage cause I don't wanna cause a divorce
It's probably important and it's better for health
Besides, I get the whole damn bed for myself
But what the hell everybody yells for me to drop down my guard
No! this heart of mine's for me, it's locked down and it's scarred
Go home, I don't need me a wife, I'm happily single for life, alright?
My name is Mac Sheldon I'm a fire-sign leo
Alcoholic, anti-mall, anti-hero, anti-soccer mom, anti-hipster; pro-eating captain-crunch-cereal-for-dinner, pro-taking-bong-hits-to-cure-your-depression, and pro-demo cd, if you got one let me check it
But never ask me what the hell i'm laughing about, see ya later I'ma go take a nap on the couch, alright?
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
I don't need lovin' and I don't need help
I'd rather ride in the car by my goddamn self
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
Calm down baby
Don't you talk because
I don't need lovin' and I don't need help
I'd rather ride in the car by my goddamn self
Well gee, Mac, what are we gonna do about this Kansan accent of yours?"
Well, self, since you`re asking in the third person, we're gonna fuckin' keep it! Because it makes us pretty and unique and beautiful, like birds!"
I'll whoop your mother's ass.
Quit sulking, you fuckin' pussy.
Yeah yeah yeah, clown on my accent all you want.
I'll whoop your ass. I'll whoop your grandmother's ass.
I'll whoop your sister's ass. I'll beat your mom's ass.

@[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.

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.
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
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.
Haha, I always crack up when he rags on Tool. Can't tell if he's serious or not, but either way it's great.
i love that tool part cuz at this very moment im wearing a Tool concert shirt cuz theyre my fav band, but ive heard that b4 lol
It's an anti-love song, but you knew that already.
