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”
Dancing with the heart
From you ear against mine
Made me a victim to love
A love that was never divine
You were my first
I hated it all
Oh I hated it all
Always there to show me
The next place to fall
Cause you knew I would fall
You were so far from
Anything I ever wanted
Temptation took over
And now everywhere that I go
I am haunted
Hello (Hello)
Hello and goodbye
Here is to hoping that I
That I can forget everything
About that night
Hello (Hello)
Hello and goodbye
Here is to hoping that I
I never see you again in my life
Really I can't blame anyone
But myself
I could have stopped it
Oh I wish I did
I knew nothing but visions until you
I robbed myself of my own innocence
You came back more vicious
Than ever before
I should have seen it coming
You were perfect
Perfectly covered in blood
And I saw right through you
Evil!
Pure Evil!
Evil!
The look in your eyes
Your intentions were poison
Hello (Hello)
Hello and goodbye
Here is to hoping that I
That I can forget everything
About that night
Hello (Hello)
Hello and goodbye
Here is to hoping that I
I never see you again in my life
No!
You didn't brand me
No!
You didn't brand me!
You didn't brand me!
You're just a bump in the road!
Soon I'll wake up from this nightmare
And I will be happy
And you'll be alone
I saw right through you
Your intentions were poison
I saw right through you
It's the look in your eyes
Hello (Hello)
Hello and goodbye
Here is to hoping that I
That I can forget everything
About that night
Hello (Hello)
Hello and goodbye
Here is to hoping that I
I never see you again in my life
From you ear against mine
Made me a victim to love
A love that was never divine
You were my first
I hated it all
Oh I hated it all
Always there to show me
The next place to fall
Cause you knew I would fall
You were so far from
Anything I ever wanted
Temptation took over
And now everywhere that I go
I am haunted
Hello (Hello)
Hello and goodbye

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Memphis May Fire goes deeper than most, so I am pretty sure that this song is not singing about sex, or loosing virginity. I see it as evil/temptations in general. From my perspective, Matty is saying that "sure, I gave into your temptations for awhile, but now you are nothing. You are pure evil, and I hope I never see you again. You didn't brand me, you may have hurt and deceived me, but you did not brand me. Hello and goodbye."
You were so far from Anything I ever wanted Temptation took over And now everywhere that I go I am haunted
...
You didn't brand me! You're just a bump in the road! Soon I'll wake up from this nightmare And I will be happy And you'll be alone
I saw right through you Your intentions were poison I saw right through you It's the look in your eyes
Hello (Hello) Hello and goodbye Here is to hoping that I That I can forget everything About that night
Hello (Hello) Hello and goodbye Here is to hoping that I I never see you again in my life
This sums it up. A man has sex with a woman he doesn't love and regrets it. Thats it. Plain and simple.
I don't think so.
This song is about someone loosing their virginity to someone who they liked, and thought the person liked them back but they didn't. After loosing there virginity by this person the realized that that person had no feelings for them and just wanted sex. they began to see that person as pure evil and full of hatred! They let that event control their life, but now they are throwing it in the past and never wants to see that person again! By saying "no you didn't brand me" they're saying "your not controlling my life by what you did. I'm forgetting everything that happened that night and throwing it in the past" in the beginning it was hello and now they're saying GOOD BYE!!
