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.
Too many times you were all alone
He left you behind cryin' by the phone
You weren't born to lose but losing him is wise
You've got a new fool
And he's just about my size
Live your life just how you love to live it
And things will all fall into place.
Take your strife and try your best to sing it.
In the end you meet your friends.
There is something I must tell you girl,
Been building up so long
See, all the times I served as your love consultant
I wanted to be there myself
Live your life just how you love to live it
And things will all fall into place.
Take your strife and try your best to sing it
In the end you meet your friends.
I love you more than it would seem
I love you more than it would seem
Love to me is not a total stranger
But love to me don't make no sense.
Love can be a capsule full of danger,
But that's a risk I'll have to take.
I love you more than it would seem
I love you more than it would seem
I'm sorry I waited so long but the
Time was so wrong.
I know its just a song but I love you
Things ain't what they seem to be
I have tried to conceal but love overwhelms me
He left you behind cryin' by the phone
You weren't born to lose but losing him is wise
You've got a new fool
And he's just about my size
Live your life just how you love to live it
And things will all fall into place.
Take your strife and try your best to sing it.
In the end you meet your friends.
There is something I must tell you girl,
Been building up so long
See, all the times I served as your love consultant
I wanted to be there myself
Live your life just how you love to live it
And things will all fall into place.
Take your strife and try your best to sing it
In the end you meet your friends.
I love you more than it would seem
I love you more than it would seem
Love to me is not a total stranger
But love to me don't make no sense.
Love can be a capsule full of danger,
But that's a risk I'll have to take.
I love you more than it would seem
I love you more than it would seem
I'm sorry I waited so long but the
Time was so wrong.
I know its just a song but I love you
Things ain't what they seem to be
I have tried to conceal but love overwhelms me

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.
