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”
It's been so long I've been out of my body with you
I feel alone feel at home feel like nothing is true
You take me to a place where my senses gave way
Turn it round shut it down what the people say
Climbing up coming down gonna give you some
Take my hand and let it come let it come let it
Take it back when she knows that you're doing it right
'Cause everybody else knows what they're taking tonight
But I just wanna play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight
It's been so far I've been walking the line on my own
Lift me up to the stars we are coming home
I know we had a chase but we're out of time
We have sold in the cold physical design
Set me free set me out on the run lift me up to the sun to the sun to the
When you're burning down when you're burning down
It's the way that you fake it I know it's too late
But I just want to play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight
I just want to take you down
We we're gonna bring you round
But I just want to play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight
I feel alone feel at home feel like nothing is true
You take me to a place where my senses gave way
Turn it round shut it down what the people say
Climbing up coming down gonna give you some
Take my hand and let it come let it come let it
Take it back when she knows that you're doing it right
'Cause everybody else knows what they're taking tonight
But I just wanna play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight
It's been so far I've been walking the line on my own
Lift me up to the stars we are coming home
I know we had a chase but we're out of time
We have sold in the cold physical design
Set me free set me out on the run lift me up to the sun to the sun to the
When you're burning down when you're burning down
It's the way that you fake it I know it's too late
But I just want to play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight
I just want to take you down
We we're gonna bring you round
But I just want to play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight

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.

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.
you guys are stupid. the song is about fitting in. if you have seen the video you would know that. in the video joel zimmerman goes to the hospipiatl, and metephoricaly comes out of his body. and the "ghost" that comes out of his body (but is still metophoricaly joel) goes searching for acceptance, and has little side adventures on the way. no one accepts him and thinks he is weird but he keeps searching and at the end he finds a rave, and theres people dressed in costume so hes finnaly not the odd one out and eveyone accepts him. thinking that a genuis song like this, worded so beautifully, would be something so stupid as sex or drugs guys makes you sound stupid and ignorant.
hospital* and idk why i typed guys at the end?? :] and sorry if i came off sounding like a bitch, but i love this song.
"set me free set me out on the run" -let me be myself.<br /> "i feel alone feel at home feel like nothing is true"- he is having mixed emotions, he feels alone cause no one is accepting him.<br /> "but i just wanna play it right, we, were gonna get there tonight"-he just wants to fit in, and tonight hes going to
i agree with you. the video is about him trying to fit in. not sex or drugs. when he sings the lyrics "It's been so long I've been out of my body with you, I feel alone feel at home feel like nothing is true" the point is that he has been alone for so long that his "home" isnt true or real to him.
@jojofursure As much as I'd like to believe you're right about this, but the line 'Cause everybody else knows what they're taking tonight' itself is enough to imply that it is about some kind of substance. Keep in mind that Rob Swire wrote the lyrics, as well.
@jojofursure @sam5514941 or that drugs are being referenced.
