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.
Hear me spit on you wither I
Remold into gold and bury I from Sun
Reborn left to sigh, recure maybe I'll
Be born and simplify the way I lie before
I get bored
I get bored
I get bored
I'm bored
Repent by you and trust to figure out
I burn that gift to doll and let it shine before
I get bored
I get bored
I get bored
I wish for a real one
Fit and confide, before me or I
I will come clean, it gets worse, it's more
Get bored
I get bored
I get bored
A wish for a real one
Get bored
Get bored
Get bored
I wish for a real one
Remold into gold and bury I from Sun
Reborn left to sigh, recure maybe I'll
Be born and simplify the way I lie before
I get bored
I get bored
I get bored
I'm bored
Repent by you and trust to figure out
I burn that gift to doll and let it shine before
I get bored
I get bored
I get bored
I wish for a real one
Fit and confide, before me or I
I will come clean, it gets worse, it's more
Get bored
I get bored
I get bored
A wish for a real one
Get bored
Get bored
Get bored
I wish for a real one

Just A Little Lovin'

Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing

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.
this song is bout masturbating
this song is actually about how chino drinks to make the world seem more interesting. Chino said in an interview before that he drinks to cure his boredom what he means by "wishing for a real one" is how he wishes the world could be liek the way it is while he's drunk all the time
it's about drinking, you tools! But the masturbation theory was really funny.
I see that now. "I wish for a real one" - he wants a real girl to have sex with instead of wanking all the time. "I will come clean" - Secretive wanking "It gets worse" - if he doesn't wank, the urge to gets stronger until he can't resist any longer. I thinks it's funny how some guys wank every night when girls really don't need to flick themselves off all the time. lol
guys spit for lube. but i don't think that's what it's about. it's about Chino drinking to drown his boredom like rickboge said. but hey, whatever gets you off:D hehehe, and "wanking", hahaha, i giggle at the term.
I see it to, but I WILL find a deeper meaning...yes...
i never thought of it that way...
but damnit....now when i jack off im gonna think of him....thats not cool..
i'm not a brit and i love tool and a perfect circle and deftones
Heres a new one, Think about it being sung from the perspective of an Egyptian pharoah. Hes in his gold tomb burried in a pyramid, waiting to be reborn the way he was before and move to the afterlife or something. Ive heard that etched on the walls of egyptian tombs were the book of the dead, the book of gates, and the book of the underworld. maybe hes waiting for someone to figure out the right words or spell or some shit. Until then hes just pissed off and sick of waiting around. Yeah the song is probably about drug use or "wanking" but I thought ide put a long shot out there to think about. Im gonna go smoke some more.
@SaturdaySavior Chinos songs are highly religious, so you are on the right track. Consider his past life though as a catholic though and his deterrence from that religion into satanism. Adrenaline has some very heavy lyrics about him selling his soul that I think you could decipher with a little research on the religion.
you guys are all wrong.
its about smoking or snorting crystal meth.
chino was a hardcore tweaker before the White Pony days and so many songs were about or influenced by the drug. not sleeping can be a bitch...
