This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
And it came to me then
That every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes
In the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths
As I said to myself
That I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak
On the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me
Amongst the vending machines
And year old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind
That our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were truth
I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around
At all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous paces bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes round
And everyone lifts their heads
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
So who's gonna watch you die
So who's gonna watch you die
So who's gonna watch you die
That every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes
In the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths
As I said to myself
That I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak
On the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me
Amongst the vending machines
And year old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind
That our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were truth
I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around
At all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous paces bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes round
And everyone lifts their heads
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
So who's gonna watch you die
So who's gonna watch you die
So who's gonna watch you die

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.

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
youtube.com/watch It's the official video. It's so great and really portrays the story well. You should watch it for yourself, I'm just gonna give you my interpretation of it. In my opinion, the girl is already gone in the video. It's just a ghost.
To me, Sarah was his suicidal lover. She loved him, and though he loved her back, she couldn't see it because of her own self-hate. The video starts with her looking in the mirror, putting on lipstick. On the mirror (mirror: symbolic for her soul) she writes: "Il m'aime." (he loves me). She goes to the room where he is. When she opens her hand (in her hand: to herself and him), it says "un peu?"(a little). She immediately closes the hand again. On the wall (: to the world) she writes "beaucoup" (a lot). Then she sits next to him, and on her arm is written "passionnement" (passionately), which assembles cutting, self-harm, to me. She then carves "Ã la folie" (with madness) into her leg. She returns to the mirror, and underneath "il m'aime" she writes: "pas du tout" (not at all - he doesn't love me at all).
Finally she wipes it all away, which symbolizes her suicide attempt. And that's how he wound up in the hospital, 'cause: "love is watching someone die".
At the very end the girl returns to the mirror and again writes: "il m'aime."
