This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Saw you in the moss
See the birds up above
You stood up with a shout and said that it's time
We ran through the oak hall woods
See the shadows on the old car hoods
Swinging on the old town telephone lines
Chorus:
Oh my love I think that I could run forever
Make you stay so true and not be lonely ever
Now my world come right
I will swim the river until my bones give up
Said when you were you born
Your daddy took you home
He whispered to the ground ever softly
Left the shovel on the stone
Left the Hill Alone
Drove like the road was the only line to know
Chorus
Oh my love I think that I could run forever
We don't stand a chance so we will run the river
I swore on your bed I will leave her never
Until my bones give up
And the birds they land
And I see both of you are there
And we are walking
And we are walking
And as you turnaround I see your hands
They look like mine
And we are walking
And we are walking back toward the hill
Oh my love I think that I could run forever
We don't stand a chance so we will run the river
Now my world come right
I will never leave her until my bones give
Oh my love I think that I could run forever
I don't like this(???)
So we will run the river
Now my world come right
I will swim the river until my bones give up
See the birds up above
You stood up with a shout and said that it's time
We ran through the oak hall woods
See the shadows on the old car hoods
Swinging on the old town telephone lines
Chorus:
Oh my love I think that I could run forever
Make you stay so true and not be lonely ever
Now my world come right
I will swim the river until my bones give up
Said when you were you born
Your daddy took you home
He whispered to the ground ever softly
Left the shovel on the stone
Left the Hill Alone
Drove like the road was the only line to know
Chorus
Oh my love I think that I could run forever
We don't stand a chance so we will run the river
I swore on your bed I will leave her never
Until my bones give up
And the birds they land
And I see both of you are there
And we are walking
And we are walking
And as you turnaround I see your hands
They look like mine
And we are walking
And we are walking back toward the hill
Oh my love I think that I could run forever
We don't stand a chance so we will run the river
Now my world come right
I will never leave her until my bones give
Oh my love I think that I could run forever
I don't like this(???)
So we will run the river
Now my world come right
I will swim the river until my bones give up

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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
oh...just had a thought about this song. perhaps its about a couple who had just had a baby, but the mother dies during the birth:
Said when you were you born Your daddy took you home He whispered to the ground ever softly Left the shovel on the stone
^(visiting mother's grave?)^
i dont know the significance of the name "melon bend", but parts of the song hint at a father's struggle to raise a child without a mother:
I swore on your bed I will leave her never Until my bones give up
or maybe i'm way off...
