I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

osanai koro kara tsumasakidachi de todokanai tobira ga atta yo ne
jikan wo wasurete samayoitsukushita
meiro no michi ha itsumo soko ni ikiataru
muishiki ni kimi no egao wo sagasu no ha tomerarenai

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.

English Translation.
Do you remember? When we were young, there was a door we couldn't reach even standing on tiptoes Not caring about the time, we just wandered about and always end up in the road's maze.
I couldn't stop myself from unconsciously searching for your smile Even now, nothing has changed,I still keep on running to you.
No matter how apart we are, our feelings are linked and connected together. Even if a mischievous fate befalls us,it will never break.
Someone should have noticed That the future that we've been yearning for is just ahead Someday, on a clear cloudless day, I want to show you a world where the tools of war had already disappeared.
This world's falling apart, where people can't stop hurting each other But because I've met you, I don't fear anything anymore.
I don't care how much my body burns, as long as it's for you. I'll fly up the pure white heavens and protect you
No matter how apart we are, our feelings our connected. Even if a mischievous fate befalls me,it will never break.
I don't care how much my body burns, as long as it's for you. I would be nice if one day, I can show you the world born anew.
