This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm stuck with these sins
I'm hoping maybe time can resolve them
I'm a lying, cheating, thieving coward
Who's trying to follow Christ
I'm hoping he can fix this old dog with new tricks
'Cause death is my only device
Yeah death is my only device
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth that I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
There's a girl who lives down my street
She says the flowers take care of the bees
She tells me I'm poor and my daddy's at war
Who's going to take care of me?
Now if history is violence and sex
I'd rather not pay my respects
If I've caused offence
If I'm too direct
I'm just trying to talk some sense
I'm politically incorrect
I said, I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth that I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
I've been giving this a lot of thought
Who am I, who on earth is God?
The answer ain't kind and the reason's fine
But by God it's the only answer I got
It's the only chance I've got
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth that I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
It turns out I was running from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
I'm hoping maybe time can resolve them
I'm a lying, cheating, thieving coward
Who's trying to follow Christ
I'm hoping he can fix this old dog with new tricks
'Cause death is my only device
Yeah death is my only device
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth that I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
There's a girl who lives down my street
She says the flowers take care of the bees
She tells me I'm poor and my daddy's at war
Who's going to take care of me?
Now if history is violence and sex
I'd rather not pay my respects
If I've caused offence
If I'm too direct
I'm just trying to talk some sense
I'm politically incorrect
I said, I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth that I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
I've been giving this a lot of thought
Who am I, who on earth is God?
The answer ain't kind and the reason's fine
But by God it's the only answer I got
It's the only chance I've got
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth that I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
It turns out I was running from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me

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.
