This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I left you in the shelter
On a wet Waikato day
The rain came like a flood
Washed our stamping ground away
And so the ties were broken (never look back)
Our situation's changed (Kia kaha)
I wonder to myself now
If we are still the same
We used to laugh at the words of the old school song (Kia kia kia kia)
But now I hope that you will be ever strong (Kia kaha)
We gathered in the basement
Like some religious sect
A band of idle dreamers
In a small town safety net
It's been as long as five years
Since we were face to face (Kia kaha)
We're feeling for the first time
Should have something to show for our age
We used to laugh at the words of the old school song (Kia kia kia kia)
But now I hope that you will be ever strong (Kia kaha)
When I left town I thought an angel watched over me (Kia kia kia kia)
It was a shock to find the devil inside me, beside me (Kia kaha)
(Maori Haka)
Ka mate! Ka mate! (It is death for me)
Ka ora! Ka ora! (I live!)
Ka mate! Ka mate!( It is death for me)
Ka ora! Ka ora! (I live!)
Tenei te tangata puhuru-huru (Behold the brave man)
Nana nei i tiki mai, (literally the hairy man)
Whakawhiti te ra! (who has caused the sun to shine again)
Aue upane! Aue kaupane! (Up the ladder)
Aue upane, kaupane (Up and up)
Whiti te ra! (Into the light of the sun)
(Kia Kaha)
Where did it go, I never noticed it passing
(Kia Kaha)
Already it's a long time ago
On a wet Waikato day
The rain came like a flood
Washed our stamping ground away
And so the ties were broken (never look back)
Our situation's changed (Kia kaha)
I wonder to myself now
If we are still the same
We used to laugh at the words of the old school song (Kia kia kia kia)
But now I hope that you will be ever strong (Kia kaha)
We gathered in the basement

A band of idle dreamers
In a small town safety net

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”
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.
