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”
There's a leaf, on a tree
that will never comfort me.
It has lived, and it has seen
I have only lived in dreams.
There's a branch, there's a bough
that has swung and torn and how.
It has felt the cold of air
I have never dared to dare.
Oh no, oh no.
Oh no, oh no.
Well there's a road, that I walk
around and round my ____.
Dreaming of the master plan;
never gets the chance to happen.
There's a tree b'eath I sit,
represents the thoughts I get.
Stretch up to the atmosphere,
there's nothing like the words you'll hear.
Oh no, oh no.
Oh no, oh no.
Well Autumn came and washed away
the feeling that I ___.
____, is lowered down
colder, but it's brighter now.
Well, don't be scared, and don't be late
the time it comes to meet your fate.
The Autumn smell is drifting in,
____ on the winds again.
I come up through the earth - it takes a lot to break me down
I come up through the eart - it takes
a lot to break me down.
Christopher John, you've got something wrong with you.
Christopher John, you've got something wrong with you.
Christopher John, you've got to get out on your own.
There's a leaf, on a tree
that will never comfort me.
It has lived, and it has seen
I have only lived in dreams.
And there's a branch, and there's a bough
that has swung and torn and how.
It has felt the cold of air
I have never dared to dare.
Christopher John, you've got something wrong with you.
Christopher John, you've got something wrong, oh.
Christopher John, you've got something wrong with you.
Christopher John, you've got to get out on your own.
Christopher John, you've got something wrong with you.
Christopher John, you've got something wrong, oh.
Christopher John, you've got something wrong with you.
Christopher John, you've got to get out on your own.
that will never comfort me.
It has lived, and it has seen
I have only lived in dreams.
There's a branch, there's a bough
that has swung and torn and how.
It has felt the cold of air
I have never dared to dare.
Oh no, oh no.
Oh no, oh no.
Well there's a road, that I walk

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
