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”
I've feared the deepest darkest secrets that live inside of me
Defeat and tragedy, walking in shame, finding nowhere to hide
I've thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea
Hoping the waves carry them away from me, oh
My heart is beating
I'll never stop fighting
I'll keep breathing
My heart is beating
I'll never stop fighting
I'll keep breathing to stay alive
And here I go, off to make a change
I'm screaming, screaming revival
All of my strength, all of my might
Will go into this to take back my life
All of my strength, all of my might
Will go back into this to take back my life
My life, my life, my life
I'm taking back my life, my life, my life
My life taking back my life
Let's go
This song is music to my ears (this song is music)
And is a new production on an old stage (on an old stage)
I won't dwell in unhappiness (I will not dwell in)
Grasping humility, asking forgiveness
Tomorrow is gone, I'll start living for today
I'll never stop the fighting and
I'll take it all away.
Tomorrow is gone, I'll start living for today
I'll never stop the fighting and
I'll take it away
Defeat and tragedy, walking in shame, finding nowhere to hide
I've thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea
Hoping the waves carry them away from me, oh
My heart is beating
I'll never stop fighting
I'll keep breathing
My heart is beating
I'll never stop fighting
I'll keep breathing to stay alive
And here I go, off to make a change
I'm screaming, screaming revival
All of my strength, all of my might
Will go into this to take back my life
All of my strength, all of my might
Will go back into this to take back my life
My life, my life, my life
I'm taking back my life, my life, my life
My life taking back my life
Let's go
This song is music to my ears (this song is music)
And is a new production on an old stage (on an old stage)
I won't dwell in unhappiness (I will not dwell in)
Grasping humility, asking forgiveness
Tomorrow is gone, I'll start living for today
I'll never stop the fighting and
I'll take it all away.
Tomorrow is gone, I'll start living for today
I'll never stop the fighting and
I'll take it away

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.
Song commentary by guitarist JB Brubaker:
"This is my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite songs we’ve ever written. I’ve described ‘Internal Cannon’ as our Latin song. There are a few sections that I think are going to turn some heads and have people saying either ‘Whoa! That was awesome!’ or ‘Whoa! That was weird. I don’t know if I like that.’ For the latter group, I’d like to think it’ll grow on ’em."
