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.
You got a whole lot left to say now
You knocked all your wind out
You just tried too hard and you froze
I know, I know
What do you say, what do you say
Just take the fall
You're one of us
The spotlight is on
(Ahh ahh)
Oh the spotlight is on, oh
You know the one thing you're fighting to hold
Will be the one thing you've got to let go
And when you feel the war cannot be won
You're gonna die to try what can't be done
Gonna stay stay out but you don't care
Now is there nothing like that inside of you anywhere
Oh just take the fall
You're one of us
The spotlight is on
(Ahh ahh)
Oh the spotlight is on, yeah it's on
Because everyone would rather watch you fall (we're all in trouble)
And we all are (we're all in trouble)
And we all are (we're all in trouble)
Just take a fall
You're one of us
The spotlight is on
(Ahh ahh)
Oh the spotlight is on
(Just take the fall)
Now you're one of us
Now you're, now you're, now you're, now you're one of us
Now you're, now you're, now you're one of us
Oh the spotlight is on
(Ahh, ahh..)
You knocked all your wind out
You just tried too hard and you froze
I know, I know
What do you say, what do you say
Just take the fall
You're one of us
The spotlight is on
(Ahh ahh)
Oh the spotlight is on, oh
You know the one thing you're fighting to hold
Will be the one thing you've got to let go
And when you feel the war cannot be won
You're gonna die to try what can't be done
Gonna stay stay out but you don't care
Now is there nothing like that inside of you anywhere
Oh just take the fall
You're one of us
The spotlight is on
(Ahh ahh)
Oh the spotlight is on, yeah it's on
Because everyone would rather watch you fall (we're all in trouble)
And we all are (we're all in trouble)
And we all are (we're all in trouble)
Just take a fall
You're one of us
The spotlight is on
(Ahh ahh)
Oh the spotlight is on
(Just take the fall)
Now you're one of us
Now you're, now you're, now you're, now you're one of us
Now you're, now you're, now you're one of us
Oh the spotlight is on
(Ahh, ahh..)

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
I think it's freakin' hilarious that all of the twilight girls in here are saying "I think this song was written about Bella/Edward/Twilight/etc."
The song wasn't written for your movie. It was just added on the soundtrack. Think about something other than your stupid book, would you?
when it says:
You know the one thing you're fighting to hold Will be the one thing you've got to let go And when you feel the wall cannot be burned You're gonna die to try what can't be done
it sounds to me like it actually says:
You know the one thing you're fighting to hold Will be the one thing you've got to let go And when you feel the war cannot be won You're gonna die to try what can't be done
i definitely think it says that, but that's just what i hear :)
this is one crazy amazing song!
Hahahhahahhahha transformers. But oh my god I love this song. It's addicting. I just keep picturing the part in Twilight where they get out of the car and Edward looks amazing. But it makes sense, it's like once she's (more or less) accepted into his family, that it means she has to play the part now. Go along with whatever is in store for her and take the obstacles that come with loving him.
silverteddy...seriously?
and twilight sucks but this song rules, so pumped for the new album
i love mutemath even before this song!!! they are just flippin awesome and this song is amazing.i love listening to it!!! i agree with maenberlin it is crazy. once when i was at a friends house. now before i heard it completely and Knew it was on the twilight soundtrack my friend was listening to it on her ipod. she said it was on the twilight album and i was all " oh really, i didn't know that". i told her i'd never heard all of it and she was all u gotta listen to it. so she handed me her ipod that was on "FULL BLAST"( didn't know that btw) and when it started my ears nearly exploded!!! now i like listening to music loud anyway, like on my Ipod and stuff but i had no heads up it was that crazy. after it finshed my friends all, so what'd you think. I said, " wow, well i was not expecting that, that was insane. ( but i guess i should have known, it is mutemath, and their songs are insane.lol.
This song doesn't remind me of Twilight really because I try to not be reminded of it.
Anyways it reminds me of the Lost Boys. As the part "Just take a fall,you're one of us". It makes me think of the scene where all the vamps are hanging off the train tracks and David is yelling to Michael "Let go, you're one of us!"
Ohhhh my goodness!! i loooove this song, mostly because it is on the Twilight soundtrack, but whatever!!! Does anyone think that DARE YOU TO MOVE BY SWITCHFOOT should be on the New Moon soundtrack?? and Free Loop my daniel powter???!
Peace Love Music Twilight
I agree with hrom up there, not a twilight fan...
but I think the song is a good one.
Don't have much to say on it though since I didn't bother to watch the movie but it seems to relate to having attention brought on to you and having the pressure of failing due to that attention. Not too sure though...
This song is ridicuosly awesome! Seriously it fits pefectly in with the movie Twilight. I think the song is pretty much talking about how Bella is fighting her decision of becoming a vampire. The part of lyrics where it says,
