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”
Don't try to beat 'em up
Just call them all aboard
Cos when your bark is gone
You're gonna take 'em all head on
Your faith is running low
It's too bad you'll never know
But don't be a fool again
Cos they're just hooligans
Don't try and save them all
Just try and break their fall
You want to live among
So don't try and right their wrongs
Bad news is twice around the world
When good is found
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't try and lead the race
Like it's a life you saved
Cos you're all in my face
Like you're from outer space
And though you make 'em laugh
It won't beat the smile you have
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
So don't be a fool again
Don't be a hooligan
You've tried your best to win
Now get onboard your wings
Don't think of paying back
Just keep your soul intact
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans
Just call them all aboard
Cos when your bark is gone
You're gonna take 'em all head on
Your faith is running low
It's too bad you'll never know
But don't be a fool again
Cos they're just hooligans
Don't try and save them all
Just try and break their fall
You want to live among
So don't try and right their wrongs
Bad news is twice around the world
When good is found
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't try and lead the race
Like it's a life you saved
Cos you're all in my face
Like you're from outer space
And though you make 'em laugh
It won't beat the smile you have
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
So don't be a fool again
Don't be a hooligan
You've tried your best to win
Now get onboard your wings
Don't think of paying back
Just keep your soul intact
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans

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.
