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 found that secret chord
The one that always
Made you smile
I'm home now
I'm moving forward
I'll always remember
The way that you said
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean to me
I'm out of excuses
I don't know what to say
And I'm made to feel passive
Of things I can't change
My timing is off
Where was this before?
When my words weren't in motion
Or in motion to fall
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean to me
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean to me
When you speak in my dreams
And you hold me
I see you're an angel
The one that always
Made you smile
I'm home now
I'm moving forward
I'll always remember
The way that you said
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean to me
I'm out of excuses
I don't know what to say
And I'm made to feel passive
Of things I can't change
My timing is off
Where was this before?
When my words weren't in motion
Or in motion to fall
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean to me
You don't know what you
You don't know what you mean to me
When you speak in my dreams
And you hold me
I see you're an angel

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.
this song is so beautiful. i loved them when they played live at umass like 2 years ago.
