This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Spinning heads
Stop the room
I think that we picked the wrong door
The Creature you want
He's on the other side
Oh yeah I don't belong
I'm not your fashion rockstar
I don't belong in the movies
He passed out moments ago
Do you think they'll find us here
I hope they don't
But if they do
Play dead
Play dead
What do you mean your afraid
Cause I just know the sharks would love you
Kick and scream
Help them find you
If you wait with me
Wait one minute more
I'm going to show you the story of your life
I'll show you
(how we die)
Spinning heads stop the room
I think that we picked the wrong door
If you wait with me
Wait one minute more
I'm going to show you the story of you life
I'll show you
(how we die)
Oh yeah that's right I like it
It's all we've got to stay awake
Pay them
Pay them
I've got the gun
So face it
Cause I'm in the basement
With the president
Were sniffing lines
With no hesitation
I'm chasing dark demons
I've got some skeletons
You don't need to know
Don't need to know
Don't need to know
Pay Them
Pay Them
Pay Them
Stop the room
I think that we picked the wrong door

Oh yeah I don't belong
I'm not your fashion rockstar
I don't belong in the movies

Do you think they'll find us here
I hope they don't
But if they do
Play dead
Play dead
What do you mean your afraid
Cause I just know the sharks would love you
Kick and scream
Help them find you
If you wait with me
Wait one minute more
I'm going to show you the story of your life
I'll show you

Spinning heads stop the room

Don't need to know
Pay Them
Pay Them

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
