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 saw it all
A piece in games
It sets in slow descend
Just when I thought I saw everything
You showed me something new
You thought that I would never understand
But now I know how to
Understand you
To see you
To realize the rot inside
You're evil
But placid
I feel sick 'cause I did not see
Nothing at all through all the excess
Destroyed it all and took all the rest
I was misled and nothing less
It's all the same, in love with distress
Somehow the starts retain our innocence
Disappointment in how things have gone
But inside the eyes of every living man
Steep stairways leading down to God
Show your face so you'll convince all of us
You invade daydreams
And ruin everything
Forever, you'll stay the same
Forced us to go insane
There is no place for you in this
Can you find your way back away from us?
Can you adhere and show us strength?
You fucked us all, done nothing straight
Still we won't crawl and we won't fall
Yeah we gave you something to keep
All this again
Not again
Took the long road but got out
I'll show you something
You fucker
Just raise your chin like this
Fuck scrape out his eyes
Yeah, now shave his head and face and ass
Just get him ready
'Cause I want to make this last
It's fucking perfect, show the world
Still we won't crawl and we won't fall
There is no place for you in this
Can you find your way back away from us?
Can you adhere and show us strength?
You fucked us all, done nothing straight
Still we won't crawl and we won't fall
A piece in games
It sets in slow descend
Just when I thought I saw everything
You showed me something new
You thought that I would never understand
But now I know how to
Understand you
To see you
To realize the rot inside
You're evil
But placid
I feel sick 'cause I did not see
Nothing at all through all the excess
Destroyed it all and took all the rest
I was misled and nothing less
It's all the same, in love with distress
Somehow the starts retain our innocence
Disappointment in how things have gone
But inside the eyes of every living man
Steep stairways leading down to God
Show your face so you'll convince all of us
You invade daydreams
And ruin everything
Forever, you'll stay the same
Forced us to go insane
There is no place for you in this
Can you find your way back away from us?
Can you adhere and show us strength?
You fucked us all, done nothing straight
Still we won't crawl and we won't fall
Yeah we gave you something to keep
All this again
Not again
Took the long road but got out
I'll show you something
You fucker
Just raise your chin like this
Fuck scrape out his eyes
Yeah, now shave his head and face and ass
Just get him ready
'Cause I want to make this last
It's fucking perfect, show the world
Still we won't crawl and we won't fall
There is no place for you in this
Can you find your way back away from us?
Can you adhere and show us strength?
You fucked us all, done nothing straight
Still we won't crawl and we won't fall

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.
