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”
And it probably works to the better
That you're there and I'm over here
Continentalistical prophilaxis
Courtesy of the great divide
History repeats itself
Fast forward through tragedy
'Cause farce is waiting there for us
with open arms and guarantees
of such ridiculosity
to make eyes roll and bowties spin
We're the last to see
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey-oo
And it doesn't seem to get any better
little action loads of talk
time to step up to the plate and take your haggis like a man
Itself repeats history
Fast forward through tragedy
'Cause farce is waiting there for us
with open arms and guarantees
of such ridiculosity
and dignities in full retreat
We head up the ??
What the harm in stumbling
blessed with two left feet
and as the cookie's crumbling
it never tastes so sweet
Aoooooo
Pursuits of happiness
Mortal embarassments
History repeats itself
A man in decline
Will it ever or never get better?
Will it ever or never get better?
Can I tickle your ass with a feather?
Can we make up and make up forever?
Will it ever or never or ever or never
or ever never ever or never get better?
That you're there and I'm over here
Continentalistical prophilaxis
Courtesy of the great divide
History repeats itself
Fast forward through tragedy
'Cause farce is waiting there for us
with open arms and guarantees
of such ridiculosity
to make eyes roll and bowties spin
We're the last to see
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey-oo
And it doesn't seem to get any better
little action loads of talk
time to step up to the plate and take your haggis like a man
Itself repeats history
Fast forward through tragedy
'Cause farce is waiting there for us
with open arms and guarantees
of such ridiculosity
and dignities in full retreat
We head up the ??
What the harm in stumbling
blessed with two left feet
and as the cookie's crumbling
it never tastes so sweet
Aoooooo
Pursuits of happiness
Mortal embarassments
History repeats itself
A man in decline
Will it ever or never get better?
Will it ever or never get better?
Can I tickle your ass with a feather?
Can we make up and make up forever?
Will it ever or never or ever or never
or ever never ever or never get better?

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.
