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”
(Sung by Joe Romersa)
There deep, deep in forest night children dance the waltz
They laugh whispering hand in hand, just like children like to do
Their eyes, what are they looking for, white dress flutters the beat
Their song starting to make some sense, (yeah) but only if you're listening
Dance, dance like butterflies, shadows appear right before my eyes
Sound echo the obsurd, hard to explain something that I heard
Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life in to the animal you hide
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
Again, see how the children play, red moon colours the trees
Their feet, innocence rustling sounds, oh, playful dream-like fantasy
Dance, dance like butterflies, (yeah yeah) shadows appear right before my eyes
Sound echo the obsurd, (yeah) hard to explain something that I heard
Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life in to the animal you hide
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life in to the animal you hide
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
Hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life in to the animal you hide
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
There deep, deep in forest night children dance the waltz
They laugh whispering hand in hand, just like children like to do
Their eyes, what are they looking for, white dress flutters the beat
Their song starting to make some sense, (yeah) but only if you're listening
Dance, dance like butterflies, shadows appear right before my eyes
Sound echo the obsurd, hard to explain something that I heard
Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life in to the animal you hide
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
Again, see how the children play, red moon colours the trees
Their feet, innocence rustling sounds, oh, playful dream-like fantasy
Dance, dance like butterflies, (yeah yeah) shadows appear right before my eyes
Sound echo the obsurd, (yeah) hard to explain something that I heard
Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life in to the animal you hide
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life in to the animal you hide
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
Hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life in to the animal you hide
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on 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.

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.
jesus, this song is terrible.
