This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
An old lady takes a bow
The lovers whisper, "What a cow." 

And touch each other with their hands
Outside they snigger at the sight 

Of drunk men sleeping in the light 

That shines on public transport stands

Chorus
I want to screw you

I wish I could get through to you
There's nothing more that I want out of you
I want to own you

Just for one day enthrone you

And give all of my hollowness to you
And so they drink two cans of beer 

His face assumes a practised leer 

He takes his jacket off and sighs
She knows the next thing to be played

She says, "Forget it, let's get laid

I've had a million other guys."
Chorus
They screw, they come, and lie replete 

They cast their shadows on the street 

And look away into the air
They're not in love or so it seems 

They stare at false exclusive dreams

They think of ways to do their hair
The lovers whisper, "What a cow." 

And touch each other with their hands
Outside they snigger at the sight 

Of drunk men sleeping in the light 

That shines on public transport stands

Chorus
I want to screw you

I wish I could get through to you
There's nothing more that I want out of you
I want to own you

Just for one day enthrone you

And give all of my hollowness to you
And so they drink two cans of beer 

His face assumes a practised leer 

He takes his jacket off and sighs
She knows the next thing to be played

She says, "Forget it, let's get laid

I've had a million other guys."
Chorus
They screw, they come, and lie replete 

They cast their shadows on the street 

And look away into the air
They're not in love or so it seems 

They stare at false exclusive dreams

They think of ways to do their hair

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”

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.
