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'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
Open your arms and let me show you what love can be like
It's all tears and it will be 'til the end of your time
Come closer my love
Will you let me tear your hearth apart?
Now all holp is gone so drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
So my love your laughter is finally turning into tears
And you're begging for more though the end is getting near
come closer my love
I'll violate you in the most sensual way... until you drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.
This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end.
So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
"I'll violate you in the most sensual way..." has to be one of the greatest lines ever written!
absoutley love this song, the folkish side of HIM defo rocks!!
k basically i think this song is about how all realtionships come to an end in one way or another.
Open your arms and let me show you what love can be like It's all tears and it will be 'til the end of your time Come closer my love Will you let me tear your heart apart? Now all hope is gone so drown in this love
The 1st person knows what love is and the pain it brings so in a way, he tells the person he loves what the love will eventually come to be. Like a warning. Maybe the person is sort of angry at love because of the pain it brings. Once you fall in love with each other, the person loses hope once he/she falls in love because they know what it ends up to be.
So my love your laughter is finally turning into tears And you're begging for more though the end is getting near come closer my love I'll violate you in the most sensual way... until you drown in this love
now that the person has the one he/she loves, they both kno that the end is coming (for whatever reason the writer has). Although they know this, they still want to be 2gether as much as they can since they are hopelessly bound to their love 4 one another. the whole violation line prolly means that the person wants the physical side of it, but doesnt at the same time since it will only bring more pain once they are apart.
His voice is so amazing. I love this song.
Yeah this song is beast clippings.
I love the contrasting vocals, it's what really makes this song awesome.
I Agree with emoeyes, he has an amazing voice and knows how to hit the notes correctly....
best HIM song to date. this song gives me chills!
I finally understand what this song is about... It's about the devil (the heavy voice) trying to drown his slave in love, the devil is trying to say that all hope is gone and he's tempting him to give up on love
Its all tears is generally about the cruelty of love... the person they fall in loiv ewith being summoned so that they can love each other but hurt each other too....thius is not an intent of pain but a contradiction of love..love hurts everyone knows it .....but we always fall in love..Tearing hearts apart and violating in a sensual way just means that by loving her he will hurt her....non intentionally
HIM are chav metal
