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.
Where O where have you been my love?
Where O where can you be?
It's been so long, since the moon has gone.
0 what a wreck you've made me.
Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love
This lullaby
My Hope is on the horizon
Every face, it's your eyes i can see
I plead, i pray through each night & day
Our Embrace is only a dream.
As sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life's time
When she'd left, I'd only begun this lullaby
Where O where can you be?
It's been so long, since the moon has gone.
0 what a wreck you've made me.
Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love
This lullaby
My Hope is on the horizon
Every face, it's your eyes i can see
I plead, i pray through each night & day
Our Embrace is only a dream.
As sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life's time
When she'd left, I'd only begun this lullaby

Little Feat
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”
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

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
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.
Well Joshy, I think the 3rd verse goes something like this... "my hope is on the horizon" ...his hope is fading like the sun going down on the horizon "Every face your eyes I can see"... he sees her in everyone he looks at. "I plead and prey, through each night and day" but alas, " Our embrace is only a dream".
He is really pining for this woman but all he has left is "This lullaby "
I think it is quite sad actually
Everyone's missing the last line in this song: "When you left I'd only begun this lullaby"
In other words, she's been gone from his life (on account of a voyage, death, break-up, it's a bit ambiguous in that regard) for mere minutes, and already he's looking at faces, searching for her again. The build up of the song is supposed to make you think she's been gone for quite some time, but the line at the end twists it, revealing the listener's assumptions aren't correct.
The lines about the ocean and horizon make me think this song is possibly from the POV of a sailor, leaving his woman behind at home - which could be analogous to the life of a touring musician.
omg this song has been out for ages, and no one has noticed. this lullaby song is the best on the cd, wonderful song, and has been on here for ages. i think it is about someones love has left them. and (im guessing its in a guys point of view) his singing it like she is lost, and that he can't find her. that his a wreck since shes been gone, she made him one by leaving. the third verse stumps me. 'My hope is on the horizon Every face your eyes I can see I plead and prey, though each night and day Our embrace is only a dream.' i think it might be that only in his dreams are they together.
i don't know, im just starting everyone off to write about this wonderfull song!
thanks i see it now
This sounds like something of Lenard Cohen's
Personally reminded me of Tom Waits.
But it's pure Mark Lanegan,...
With Josh Homme Playing the guitar..
This is a great song, it really sets a tone for the rest of the album. And if my thinking is right here, I would say that the whole album is in the view point of some guy and about what some girl has done to him. How does that sound?
What a simple, yet beautiful song. As for the rest of the album, it's pretty disturbing.
Or at least I thought so
my theory: They "made love" she went away, promising to come back, or somthing equally as stupid. Or she may have died "Are you there up in the sky? Until the return of my love, This lullaby." And he waits for her, and can't stop thinking about her etc "And sure as days come from moments Each hour becomes a life's time" he wastes his life away thinking/waiting for her. And then dies.
Yeah... Thats pretty much my theory.
