This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
See my life, the failure, you'll make the same mistakes
a child, marriage, your choices, they're all in your hands
Where were you when I needed you
Your interference is not welcome now
I can't believe these words
showing feelings that he never had,such a human behaviour
did she teach him these feelings of hate
Stop! I want you to listen
There is so much at stake
the child, victim of choices
She could never make
I listened but you never spoke
this child is not yours
What are they talking about
Her voice full of compassion
She's warning of things from the past
a victim of choices
Give her a chance to explain why she's here
She will interfere with all that we are
Maybe her fear is a sign she's for real
Her fear is too late,she is to blame
Fighting and blaming, they don't know much more
It scares and excites me, the past repeats itself
NO! We're all victims
I try to feel and understand
That their distant past is like my life today
It's a circle, a curse
I am one of the victims
One of their, one of your victims
a child, marriage, your choices, they're all in your hands
Where were you when I needed you
Your interference is not welcome now
I can't believe these words
showing feelings that he never had,such a human behaviour
did she teach him these feelings of hate
Stop! I want you to listen
There is so much at stake
the child, victim of choices
She could never make
I listened but you never spoke
this child is not yours
What are they talking about
Her voice full of compassion
She's warning of things from the past
a victim of choices
Give her a chance to explain why she's here
She will interfere with all that we are
Maybe her fear is a sign she's for real
Her fear is too late,she is to blame
Fighting and blaming, they don't know much more
It scares and excites me, the past repeats itself
NO! We're all victims
I try to feel and understand
That their distant past is like my life today
It's a circle, a curse
I am one of the victims
One of their, one of your victims

Hayalperest
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.

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
It's still a part of the concept. The girl spies on her parents as they get a visit from the mother of the father, child's grandmother. She warns the father about the choices he makes and it's apparent that she was very bad to HIM when he was a child. The girl starts to understand a pattern the invisible circl.
