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”
No one knows where
I buried my sweet Virgina Madison
The winter chill falls over me
And keeps me numb inside
Under the moon by the edge of town
She'll quietly wait for me
I promised it wouldn't be too long
Till I returned to sleep with her
She said she don't wanna live no more
Well I don't mind
No I don't mind
So now I'm waitin' for the crack of dawn
To head on back there
To the place where me and her will always be
Now I got my Sunday vest
And I'm headed out that door
Dig my fingers deep in soil just to get to her
All dressed in black and she's so pale
She's waiting there for me
A blanket of soil covers us
To fall asleep in eternity
And now I close my eyes
When I awake with a snap it was all a dream
I gotta empty bottle of something under me
I gotta really bad headache
My clothes are soaking wet
At times like this I wish I hadn't slept
Star locked gaze, uneasy hands
Then the dream fades away
And leaves my head
Another riddle another dream
Another fucked up fantasy
Gotta learn to stay away from all this tv
She said she would always wait for me
Well I don't mind
No I don't mind
So now I'm headin' to the place where I
Burried my sweet virginia madison
I buried my sweet Virgina Madison
The winter chill falls over me
And keeps me numb inside
Under the moon by the edge of town
She'll quietly wait for me
I promised it wouldn't be too long
Till I returned to sleep with her
She said she don't wanna live no more
Well I don't mind
No I don't mind
So now I'm waitin' for the crack of dawn
To head on back there
To the place where me and her will always be
Now I got my Sunday vest
And I'm headed out that door
Dig my fingers deep in soil just to get to her
All dressed in black and she's so pale
She's waiting there for me
A blanket of soil covers us
To fall asleep in eternity
And now I close my eyes
When I awake with a snap it was all a dream
I gotta empty bottle of something under me
I gotta really bad headache
My clothes are soaking wet
At times like this I wish I hadn't slept
Star locked gaze, uneasy hands
Then the dream fades away
And leaves my head
Another riddle another dream
Another fucked up fantasy
Gotta learn to stay away from all this tv
She said she would always wait for me
Well I don't mind
No I don't mind
So now I'm headin' to the place where I
Burried my sweet virginia madison

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.
i think this song is for a dead lover, Vigrina Madison. she has died and left him feeling completly dead inside. He wastes his life away wanting to be dead with her, drinking and watching t.v. I think that he also is counting down the days until he can be with her, or maybe he plans to go to her grave to commit suicide on her grave to be with her. It's a great song and their new CD "An american paradox" just came out and i have it ordered from amazon.com, and i encourage every punk fan to go out and get it.
@fletcherjhs A dead lover? Seriously? Virginia Madison is an actress. He is obviously fantasizing about her... Even at the end of the song he clearly states "Another fucked up fantasy, Gotta learn to stay away from all this tv"<br /> <br /> How in the world do fuckheads like you, take a song with a pretty blatant meaning and sway so far away from it's meaning .. did you actually listen to the song?
