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”
Break out all the mechanical
Step right up to the freaky and tangible
Hands uncuffed, take the leash on this animal
If it's getting hyphy hit me with a night stick
Slip right into your stripper shoes
Roll the dice, I got snake eyes and deja vu
Poppin' off, fire melted with bally-hoo?
Tune in (tune in)
Turn on (turn on)
Drop out
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Quick slow high or low
You're never gonna know for sure
See in stereo
Down the rabbit hole
Catnip and honey, teatime and all over town
(all over town, all over town)
Houses of candy, build 'em up and then burn them down
(burn 'em down, just burn em down)
It melts in your face and not in your arm?
It starts in the bass and it ends in the crystal ball
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Disco rodeo
My kaleidoscope
Cleopatra knows
What's down the rabbit hole
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Quick slow high or low
You're never gonna know for sure
See in stereo
Down the rabbit hole
Step right up to the freaky and tangible
Hands uncuffed, take the leash on this animal
If it's getting hyphy hit me with a night stick
Slip right into your stripper shoes
Roll the dice, I got snake eyes and deja vu
Poppin' off, fire melted with bally-hoo?
Tune in (tune in)
Turn on (turn on)
Drop out
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Quick slow high or low
You're never gonna know for sure
See in stereo
Down the rabbit hole
Catnip and honey, teatime and all over town
(all over town, all over town)
Houses of candy, build 'em up and then burn them down
(burn 'em down, just burn em down)
It melts in your face and not in your arm?
It starts in the bass and it ends in the crystal ball
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Disco rodeo
My kaleidoscope
Cleopatra knows
What's down the rabbit hole
Going down the rabbit hole
Get away from all we know
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Going down the rabbit hole
Even hoes and gigolos
Come on, follow
Come on and follow me
Quick slow high or low
You're never gonna know for sure
See in stereo
Down the rabbit hole

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.
