This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Diana, the Berlin wall
Even giants can take a fall
George Bush, the bikini wax
Below the belt, hide the facts
Skase is gone and Axle's mad
Kaufman was the best we had
John is dead, the bastard lives
What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st century
Global warming just ain't cool
Too much chlorine in the gene pool
Save the sheep, clone the whales
Running out of options, preparing to fail
Genocide, de facto wife
G8 summit designed for life
Muhammad Ali, Kurt Cobain
There's no such thing as cheap cocaine
Never again
Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed, everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st century, in the 21st century
Why isn't anyone around?
Why is everybody lying down?
Everyone is shouting
But I can't hear a sound
No one wants to act their age
Take a pill, join the rave
Living fast, dying young
Twenty seven years of too much fun
Vietnam, the markets crashed
Brian Wilson hide the stash
Making cents of interests rates
And Hefner is the devil incarnate
Devil incarnate
Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st
Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Even giants can take a fall
George Bush, the bikini wax
Below the belt, hide the facts
Skase is gone and Axle's mad
Kaufman was the best we had
John is dead, the bastard lives
What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st century
Global warming just ain't cool
Too much chlorine in the gene pool
Save the sheep, clone the whales
Running out of options, preparing to fail
Genocide, de facto wife
G8 summit designed for life
Muhammad Ali, Kurt Cobain
There's no such thing as cheap cocaine
Never again
Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed, everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st century, in the 21st century
Why isn't anyone around?
Why is everybody lying down?
Everyone is shouting
But I can't hear a sound
No one wants to act their age
Take a pill, join the rave
Living fast, dying young
Twenty seven years of too much fun
Vietnam, the markets crashed
Brian Wilson hide the stash
Making cents of interests rates
And Hefner is the devil incarnate
Devil incarnate
Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me
Living in the 21st
Nothing is ever what it seems to be
Living in the 21st century
Life has changed from everything we knew
All that we've been through
It doesn't make sense to me

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.
Pretty obvious meaning. It's about how confusing and complicated we've made our lives by trying to make our lives easier and better.
