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.
Do your actions mention, your heart's intentions?
We'll Find Out
Is your mind mistaken? Is your conscience not at ease?
We'll Find Out
Do you strive to deny each kindred spirit in the room?
We'll Find Out
And is your highest pleasure now, the misfortune of fools?
We'll Find out
You hide nothing
Just believe it
We all see it
In the basement, you did wait
Wondering what they would do
And you could not accept the fate of three thousand volts through you
And there is nothing you could say
Only what you should have done
And you should have walked away
Instead you're living on the run
Now it's coming off the sea
And it's moving through the trees
It is the wind before your hand
As its coming down upon me
You hide nothing
Just believe it
We all see it
We'll Find Out
Is your mind mistaken? Is your conscience not at ease?
We'll Find Out
Do you strive to deny each kindred spirit in the room?
We'll Find Out
And is your highest pleasure now, the misfortune of fools?
We'll Find out
You hide nothing
Just believe it
We all see it
In the basement, you did wait
Wondering what they would do
And you could not accept the fate of three thousand volts through you
And there is nothing you could say
Only what you should have done
And you should have walked away
Instead you're living on the run
Now it's coming off the sea
And it's moving through the trees
It is the wind before your hand
As its coming down upon me
You hide nothing
Just believe it
We all see it

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Really, really like this band! They incorporate a collection of genres, not only the blues. However, something is amiss and I can't quite put my finger on it. No soul, perhaps? Anyhow, this seems to be about how one never knows how they are perceived because they are unable to gain "outside" perspective. Great song, and I especially like the simplistic prevailing themes within each and every one of their songs.
It's like this song is about the film "The Green Mile". I'm not sure whether or not that is what inspired it, but it definitely reminds me of it.
To me this in unmistakably about depression, psychosis and the stay at a psychiatric ward. The "we" is the psychiatrists and nurses perspective - they'll find out. They know and understand more about you than you yourself do at the fragile, upside-down state you're in.
I think this is a recurrent theme in the whole album.
