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.
She lives, no fear
Doubtless in everything she knows
Through time unchecked,
The sureness of her flows.
She leaves herself inside you when she goes.
She lives in a time of her own...
You have always heard her speaking,
She's always been in your ear.
Her voice sounds a tone within you,
Listen to the words you hear.
Her time has no past or future,
She lives everything she sees.
Her time doesn't spin outside here,
It's in every breath she breaths.
She lives in a time of her own...
Her love whips hard
Like wind and stands in eager pain.
She wins your thoughts
And drives your inner planes.
She clears and shares
A love that never strains.
She lives in a time of her own...
You have always heard her speaking,
She's always been in your ear.
Her voice sounds a tone within you,
Listen to the words you hear.
Her time has no past or future,
She lives everything she sees.
Her time doesn't spin outside here,
It's in every breath she breaths.
She lives in a time of her own...
Her eyes like light reflect the aura of her hair.
She sends, attends, behind an alpha stare.
She seeks the stars and spirals up their stairs.
She lives in a time of her own.
She lives in a time of her own.
she lives in a time of her own.
she lives in a time of her own.
Doubtless in everything she knows
Through time unchecked,
The sureness of her flows.
She leaves herself inside you when she goes.
She lives in a time of her own...
You have always heard her speaking,
She's always been in your ear.
Her voice sounds a tone within you,
Listen to the words you hear.
Her time has no past or future,
She lives everything she sees.
Her time doesn't spin outside here,
It's in every breath she breaths.
She lives in a time of her own...
Her love whips hard
Like wind and stands in eager pain.
She wins your thoughts
And drives your inner planes.
She clears and shares
A love that never strains.
She lives in a time of her own...
You have always heard her speaking,
She's always been in your ear.
Her voice sounds a tone within you,
Listen to the words you hear.
Her time has no past or future,
She lives everything she sees.
Her time doesn't spin outside here,
It's in every breath she breaths.
She lives in a time of her own...
Her eyes like light reflect the aura of her hair.
She sends, attends, behind an alpha stare.
She seeks the stars and spirals up their stairs.
She lives in a time of her own.
She lives in a time of her own.
she lives in a time of her own.
she lives in a time of her own.

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.

no comments wtf...?? best lyrics ever!!
What does Roky mean by 'drives your inner planes'? I don't get it...like butterflies in the stomach/confusion or what? The rest seems pretty clear to me.
@seasidezingst The lyrics are to a drug's spirit, maybe ushrooms spirit, because it's a popular drug and a femenine spirit is usually felt with them. He means that the "voice" of the trip drives your mind to profound states of... development or another word. Having an "illumination" or healing is the same with mushrooms than with yoga or with whatever method you use to travel your mind until going out of it: if you have no past or future, if you live everything you see, if your time is in every breath you breath, you're feeling you're alive in eternity, in a time of your own. It sounds probably about mushrooms for me also because of sentences like "the suereness of her flows" and "she clears and shares". She has leaved herself inside me when she went, now everything is different, also this song.
@seasidezingst The 13th Floor Elevators did drugs but this song is not about drugs. it is about Devi, the Hindu Goddess, one of whose names is Kali (which means both “She is Time” and “Without Time”). In Tantra, the Goddess is the very fabric of the cosmos as well as the form of the supreme reality itself, and she is even the stuff of your own personal being. She is also called Shantideva, which means energy or power. She “moves your inner planes” as Kundalini, the mystical force within us which leads us back through the inner planes (often symbolised by the chakras), and back to the supreme godhead. The back cover of Easter Everywhere displays a diagram of these chakras.
@seasidezingst Oops: I missed that autocorrect on my phone changed “Shakti” to “Shantideva” (wtf?) and the lyric is “drives your inner planes.” Kali is the activity of our inner planes as well as the force which will ultimately transcend them. It would be nice if this site let us edit our posts after the fact!

*Drives (not moves), that is.
