In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
see my blooded hands
my blooded limbs
can't breath away
for killing sinsdrove me away
give me a sign
my broken faith
you'll never mend
here in your world
i'll see your world
slipping away
i'm hearing my goal
hearing my goal
i'll stomach it
kill me if you can
if your careful me
soaked in your spit
all i could see
my bit of trust
choking on it
walking on lies
it'll come whne your dead
here in your world
i'll see your world
slipping away
i'm hearing my goal
hearing my goal
i'll stomach it
*screams inunderstandibly*
my hands are outside
god knows i've tried
to get them here
i hear them
all i can take from myself
here in your world
i see your world
slipping away
im hearing my goal
hearing my goal
i'll stomach it
*screams*
my blooded limbs
can't breath away
for killing sinsdrove me away
give me a sign
my broken faith
you'll never mend
here in your world
i'll see your world
slipping away
i'm hearing my goal
hearing my goal
i'll stomach it
kill me if you can
if your careful me
soaked in your spit
all i could see
my bit of trust
choking on it
walking on lies
it'll come whne your dead
here in your world
i'll see your world
slipping away
i'm hearing my goal
hearing my goal
i'll stomach it
*screams inunderstandibly*
my hands are outside
god knows i've tried
to get them here
i hear them
all i can take from myself
here in your world
i see your world
slipping away
im hearing my goal
hearing my goal
i'll stomach it
*screams*

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.
wot a fucking kick ass tune. one of the best songs ive heard in a long time, but what is with the title???
