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”
Again we're stuck in gear
And lost, but you don't care
How can it be that we've agreed to start again
Agreed that maybe this time it'll be the end
It's just a state of mind
And you are looking at the ground
But it's not raining, look at the sky
But it's hard when you're not looking very high
I wanted everything but this
When all I want is happiness
Alone in life, Alone in love (I wanted more)
You show the side of you that's not
The side of you, you show a lot
All I want is something else
To hold onto
I sit here all alone
Writing words to show
The thoughts and feelings I have towards you
Have we come this far just to figure out there's nothing new
Between us
I used to fall apart
And wait for that fire to spark
But now it's over
I know I lost
It's just so easy to break
I wanted everything but this
When all I want is happiness
Alone in life, Alone in love (I wanted more)
You show the side of you that's not
The side of you, you show a lot
All I want is something else
But you're not letting go
I sit back and watch the sunset
Nothing else could ever calm me down
I write words of so sweet breath
Composed to make your world go 'round
I like things that make me smile
Your personality can't give me that
And when you frown I think of why we'll
Never be the same
It's not cool to play ska music
It's not cool
It's not cool to play ska music
It's not cool
I pulled the microphone from her lips and said, She told me I don't date guys in a band
"I don't ever wanna be like this" And besides
Ska doesn't pay
It's not cool
To play ska music
But I do it anyway
'Cause I wanted more than this
Times are changing stop complaining
It's not the person you have left behind
Maybe I'm someone else that you can live without
And lost, but you don't care
How can it be that we've agreed to start again
Agreed that maybe this time it'll be the end
It's just a state of mind
And you are looking at the ground
But it's not raining, look at the sky
But it's hard when you're not looking very high
I wanted everything but this
When all I want is happiness
Alone in life, Alone in love (I wanted more)
You show the side of you that's not
The side of you, you show a lot
All I want is something else
To hold onto
I sit here all alone
Writing words to show
The thoughts and feelings I have towards you
Have we come this far just to figure out there's nothing new
Between us
I used to fall apart
And wait for that fire to spark
But now it's over
I know I lost
It's just so easy to break
I wanted everything but this
When all I want is happiness
Alone in life, Alone in love (I wanted more)
You show the side of you that's not
The side of you, you show a lot
All I want is something else
But you're not letting go
I sit back and watch the sunset
Nothing else could ever calm me down
I write words of so sweet breath
Composed to make your world go 'round
I like things that make me smile
Your personality can't give me that
And when you frown I think of why we'll
Never be the same
It's not cool to play ska music
It's not cool
It's not cool to play ska music
It's not cool
I pulled the microphone from her lips and said, She told me I don't date guys in a band
"I don't ever wanna be like this" And besides
Ska doesn't pay

To play ska music
But I do it anyway
'Cause I wanted more than this
Times are changing stop complaining
It's not the person you have left behind
Maybe I'm someone else that you can live without

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.
