In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
だからいま 会いにゆく
そう決めたんだ
ポケットの この曲を
君に聴かせたい
そっとヴォリュームを上げて
確かめてみたよ
Oh Good-Bye Days
いま 変わる気がする
昨日までに so long
かっこよくない
優しさがそばにあるから
La, la, la, la, with you
片方の イヤフォンを 君に渡す
ゆっくりと 流れ込む この瞬間
うまく愛せていますか?
たまに迷うけど
Oh Good-Bye Days
いま 変わり始めた
胸の奥 all right
かっこよくない
優しさがそばにあるから
La, la, la, la, with you
できれば 悲しい
想いなんてしたくない
でもやってくるでしょ?
そのとき 笑顔で
Yeah hello!! My friend なんてさ
言えたならいいのに
同じ唄を 口ずさむ時
そばにいて I wish
かっこよくない
優しさに会えてよかったよ
La, la, la, la, Good-Bye Days, ooh
そう決めたんだ
ポケットの この曲を
君に聴かせたい
そっとヴォリュームを上げて
確かめてみたよ
Oh Good-Bye Days
いま 変わる気がする
昨日までに so long
かっこよくない
優しさがそばにあるから
La, la, la, la, with you
片方の イヤフォンを 君に渡す
ゆっくりと 流れ込む この瞬間

たまに迷うけど
Oh Good-Bye Days
いま 変わり始めた

La, la, la, la, Good-Bye Days, ooh

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
