I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I taste death in every kiss we share
Every sundown seems to be the last we have
Your breath on my skin has the scent of our end
I'm drunk on your tears, Baby, can't you see it's hurting
Every time we touch we get closer to heaven
And at every sunrise our sins are forgiven
Uh uh
You on my skin this must be the end
The only way you can love me ist to hurt me again
And again
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Oh the taste from your lips, my Darling
Taste from your lips, oh my Love
Only inside I'm free
I'm tired of waiting
You've got to let me dream
Inside Baby
I'm not afraid to feel
I want your to love me
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Every sundown seems to be the last we have
Your breath on my skin has the scent of our end
I'm drunk on your tears, Baby, can't you see it's hurting
Every time we touch we get closer to heaven
And at every sunrise our sins are forgiven
Uh uh
You on my skin this must be the end
The only way you can love me ist to hurt me again
And again
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Oh the taste from your lips, my Darling
Taste from your lips, oh my Love
Only inside I'm free
I'm tired of waiting
You've got to let me dream
Inside Baby
I'm not afraid to feel
I want your to love me
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razor blade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Wow I can't believe that nobody has commented on this song yet. I totally love this song.....I can't listen to it enough. To me, without really reading into it, or figuring out what the writer meant it to be about......I see it as someone who loves another person so much, but it's more like unrequitted love. Since the love isn't returned, the person is in so much pain they just see their love as a sharp razorblade that will slowly eat them away until they share a deep love. I also love the beat and his voice....and just....everything. Good good goooood song! :-D
