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 welcome this pain beating down on me
Is it your eyes that choose not to see?
All I would do, if only you knew
All of my trust was given to you
Oh, please, this is what I can give
What else do you need from me?
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is, this thing that now I've become
You hate it so much, you keep on running from it
No matter the distance, oh
No matter how, no matter how far
I bury this hurt
Concealed in this heart
Go lock all your doors
These cold steps will warm
Oh, please, this is what I can give
What else do you need from me?
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is, this thing that now I've become
You hate it so much, you keep on running from it
No matter the distance, oh
No matter how, no matter how far
No matter how far
Far it is
Please, this is what I can give
What else do you need from me?
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is, this thing that now I've become
You hate it so much, you keep on running from it
No matter the distance, oh
No matter how, no matter how far
No matter how far
No matter how far
No matter how far
No matter how, no matter how far
Is it your eyes that choose not to see?
All I would do, if only you knew
All of my trust was given to you
Oh, please, this is what I can give
What else do you need from me?
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is, this thing that now I've become
You hate it so much, you keep on running from it
No matter the distance, oh
No matter how, no matter how far
I bury this hurt
Concealed in this heart
Go lock all your doors
These cold steps will warm
Oh, please, this is what I can give
What else do you need from me?
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is, this thing that now I've become
You hate it so much, you keep on running from it
No matter the distance, oh
No matter how, no matter how far
No matter how far
Far it is
Please, this is what I can give
What else do you need from me?
I might be sick, broken, torn to pieces
So, whatever this is, this thing that now I've become
You hate it so much, you keep on running from it
No matter the distance, oh
No matter how, no matter how far
No matter how far
No matter how far
No matter how far
No matter how, no matter how far

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.
