This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Rollin' down the highway
Like a rocket
Headed to town now
You can't stop it
Got wheel in my hand
As I stand
On the floor
Of the board
Of this car
On the road
Got this woman in the back seat
Yeah she's my wifey
In the middle of the delivery
Man she saves me
To this day I don't know why
She picked me up
When i was down on the road
With the wind when it blowed
Well a son's gonna rise in a mile
In a mile
In a mile
You'll be feeling fine
In a mile you will see
After me
You'll be out of the dark, yeah
You'll get your shot
Like a rocket
Headed to town now
You can't stop it
Got wheel in my hand
As I stand
On the floor
Of the board
Of this car
On the road
Got this woman in the back seat
Yeah she's my wifey
In the middle of the delivery
Man she saves me
To this day I don't know why
She picked me up
When i was down on the road
With the wind when it blowed
Well a son's gonna rise in a mile
In a mile
In a mile
You'll be feeling fine
In a mile you will see
After me
You'll be out of the dark, yeah
You'll get your shot

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”

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/
this is one of the best songs ive heard in a very long time, this and Bullet And A Target, Cope has serious potential, if more people hear his stuff he's gon be huge, like great big Oprah tits!
this song, in the literal sense, is about the day his child was born and how he felt rushing his wife to the hospital. "Rollin' down the highway. Like a rocket..." And in one more mile, they'll be at the hospital and she will be fine. It's a mix of wanting to reassure his wife and being so focused on that everything else fades...hence the repetitive words...
ahhahahahah nice comparison. this IS a great song, one of his best. check this guy out in a bit, hes gonna be commin up soon
ahhahahahah nice comparison. this IS a great song, one of his best. check this guy out in a bit, hes gonna be commin up soon
this is a f'n tight track, one of the most chill songs i've placed in a while
I first heard this song on One Tree Hill, and it was from that scene when they were all dancing. It just sounded so gound, i would dance to this song, it is chill, but it could make you feel better if you dance to it. i really want to get his cd, i hear its awesome and chill.
I think the song is about hope. Something we all need. I like the little guitar solo thingy too.
sons gonna rise to me means that days gonna come. The day that my dream world becomes reality or anyone in that matter who dreams in the dark, the sun will rise for you. Citizen Copes symplistic and repetative lyrics are amazing. I loved his music since i heard "salvation" its good to see other people appreciate good music!
i believe the last line is "you'll get your child" not "you'll get your shot". anyway it's obviously about his wife in labor in the back of his car, at least on a literal level. and oprah tits is really funny.
haha yea the oprah tits are pretty funny. this is one of my favorite bands/songs ever. really good.PEOPLE SHOULD REALLY LISTEN TO THEM MORE
