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.
I remember how you use to touch me in the morning when I'd rise
And how everything seemed right when I looked in your eyes
I guess it true you never miss your water until your well runs dry
Girl I really miss you here in my life
Baby what can I say (what can I say)
Yes I was wrong (yes I was wrong)
Girl I admit I was unkind
Now what can I do (what can I do)
Now that your gone (now that your gone)
Baby let me back inside
Never in my life
Did I know a love so true
How can I live life
When my life begins with you
And I'll keep searching all my life
Until I find the perfect one It's you (it's you, it's you)
Never in my life did I know
Did I know a love could ever be so true
Never in my life did I know
Baby girl all I need is you
I took advantage and took you for granted baby from the very start
And everything you gave to me came straight from your heart
Now will we ever get back to holding hands, will I ever get another chance
To prove to you and show you that I can be a better man
Oh what can I say (what can I say)
Guess I was wrong (guess I was wrong)
Girl I admit I was unkind
Now what can I do (what can I do)
Now that your gone (now that your gone)
Baby let me back inside
Cause never in my life
Did I know a love so true
How can I live life
When my life begins with you
And I'll keep searching all my life
Until I find the perfect one
It's you (it's you, it's you)
After all the dust has settled
And everyone on earth is gone
What will you do
When we are standing
Face to face, one on one
Will you kiss me baby, love me like crazy
Will you tell me you want me again (tell me you want me again)
Cause I'm lost and uncertain, I'm tired of hurting I just need you in my life
Never in my life
Never in my life
It's you, it's you, it's you, oh-oh oh-oh
Tell me you want me again, oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Baby girl all I need is you, oh-oh oh-oh
Tell me you want me again, oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Baby girl all I need is you
And how everything seemed right when I looked in your eyes
I guess it true you never miss your water until your well runs dry
Girl I really miss you here in my life
Baby what can I say (what can I say)
Yes I was wrong (yes I was wrong)
Girl I admit I was unkind
Now what can I do (what can I do)
Now that your gone (now that your gone)
Baby let me back inside
Never in my life
Did I know a love so true
How can I live life
When my life begins with you
And I'll keep searching all my life
Until I find the perfect one It's you (it's you, it's you)
Never in my life did I know
Did I know a love could ever be so true
Never in my life did I know
Baby girl all I need is you
I took advantage and took you for granted baby from the very start
And everything you gave to me came straight from your heart
Now will we ever get back to holding hands, will I ever get another chance
To prove to you and show you that I can be a better man
Oh what can I say (what can I say)
Guess I was wrong (guess I was wrong)
Girl I admit I was unkind
Now what can I do (what can I do)
Now that your gone (now that your gone)

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
