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'm walking in authority
Living life without apology
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here
So you might as well get used to me
My mother may not be a queen
But my father's king of everything
I'm adopted into the family
So I guess that makes me royalty
And he's given me dominion yes
Power over men, them yes
Everything I do is blessed
Promised me some great success
I am the authority
God of the majority
Livin' in my liberty
So you might as well get used to me
I'm walking in authority
Living life without apology
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here
So you might as well get used to me
We're children of the most-high God
Understand and believe his word
We never have to beg or plead
For our father will supply our needs
And he's given me dominion yes
Power over men, them yes
Everything I do is blessed
Promised me some great success
I am the authority
God of the majority
Livin' in my liberty
So you might as well get used to me
I'm walking in authority
Living life without apology
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here
So you might as well get used to me
I'm walking in prosperity
Living life the way it's meant to be
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here
So you might as well get used to me
Get something in your hand
Get something in your hand
Get something in your hand
Get something in your hand
And wave it in the air
And wave it in the air
And wave it in the air
And wave it in the air
I said 1, 2, 3

So you might as well get used to me
I'm walking in authority
Living life without apology
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here

Living life the way it's meant to be
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here
So you might as well get used to me
Get something in your hand
Get something in your hand
And wave it in the air
And wave it in the air
I said 1, 2, 3

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
