This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You've got to run
You've got to go to the police
It's OK, you'll be fine
I think this is what's best for you
It's gonna turn out right
I've got to go
I've got to figure this out
You're really not at fault
You should go and clear your name
And work it out
Last chance Marie
You want to run? It'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up now
So who are you?
Do you know what you want?
When nothing else is clear
To go on now is optional
And home is near
Last chance Marie
Calm down it'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up now
They're coming they're coming
You know you can't run with the death squid shooting
They're coming they're coming
The pit bulls smiling and the squad cars screaming
Last chance Marie
You want to run? It'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up not
To be free
You've got to go to the police
It's OK, you'll be fine
I think this is what's best for you
It's gonna turn out right
I've got to go
I've got to figure this out
You're really not at fault
You should go and clear your name
And work it out
Last chance Marie
You want to run? It'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up now
So who are you?
Do you know what you want?
When nothing else is clear
To go on now is optional
And home is near
Last chance Marie
Calm down it'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up now
They're coming they're coming
You know you can't run with the death squid shooting
They're coming they're coming
The pit bulls smiling and the squad cars screaming
Last chance Marie
You want to run? It'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up not
To be free

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
This is definitely based off of the Bourne Identity. I loved this song before, but now that I see what its about, I love it even more.
yeah definitely Bourne Identity, I was just listening to it and I was like "HOLY CRAP IT'S ABOUT THE BOURNE IDENTITY!" it clicked in my brain for some reason
I could never understand what they were saying when they were saying Marie, otherwise I would have figured it out before seeing the lyrics.
wow sweeet song!!! bourne identity is one of my favorite songs and that just makes this song a million times better! bourne+children 18:3= awsomeness!!!
the bassist's name is Lee Marie, ironically. heh.
I was thinking the same thing!
