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.
Do you love me
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby, baby
Or is this just a thing of the past
Need to feel your arms around me
I can't stand it whenever you're gone
Ever since the day you found me
I've been hooked on your kiss, but I know now that this
Can't go on
Been watchin' all my dreams slip right away
Seems so wrong
How all the good times live inside of yesterday
Do you love me
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby, yeah
Or is this just a thing of the past
Said you wouldn't let love burn me
Like a fool I believed it was true
Can't you see just how you hurt me
Got a sensitive heart and it's tearin' apart
Over you
I need to see that sunshine like before
Don't be cruel
Don't give up on the things we've both been livin' for
Do you love me
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby
Or is this just a thing of the past
Is it so hard to show what you feel
Can't you understand that I still care
You've got to tell me this love is real
Or are tears the only thing we can share
Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on)
Can we still be a part of tomorrow (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you want me, baby (Do you know what's goin' on)
Or is this just a thing of the past (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on)
Are you tryin' to tell me it's over (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you need me, baby (Do you know what's goin' on)
Don't you know that this lovin' can last (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on)
Can we still be a part of tomorrow (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you want me, baby (Do you know what's goin' on)
Or is this just a thing of the past (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on)
Are you tryin' to tell me it's over
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby, baby
Or is this just a thing of the past
Need to feel your arms around me
I can't stand it whenever you're gone
Ever since the day you found me
I've been hooked on your kiss, but I know now that this
Can't go on
Been watchin' all my dreams slip right away
Seems so wrong
How all the good times live inside of yesterday
Do you love me
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby, yeah
Or is this just a thing of the past
Said you wouldn't let love burn me
Like a fool I believed it was true
Can't you see just how you hurt me
Got a sensitive heart and it's tearin' apart
Over you
I need to see that sunshine like before
Don't be cruel
Don't give up on the things we've both been livin' for
Do you love me
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby
Or is this just a thing of the past
Is it so hard to show what you feel
Can't you understand that I still care
You've got to tell me this love is real
Or are tears the only thing we can share
Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on)

Are you tryin' to tell me it's over

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
