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 amazed in the way that we've got this far
At the pace we're going and the things we've done
Amazed in the way that we're all still here
Just looking at our last few years
And I'll task, in the west in the years to come
Does the dollar really matter when our whole world is gone?
Worry about yourself, while the world stills turns
Waiting until we watch it burn
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our race for sure
Just look into your eyes
Now do we have the strength to survive
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our race for sure
Just look into your eyes
Now do we have the strength to survive if I live here
It's not like cigarettes, not like your tv's,
Bigger and brighter than any other thing,
Just consum less, and giving back more
And live our old ways at the door
And I'll wait, if we don't
We can kiss it goodbye
Our sun, our moon, our earth and our sky
Our world we will recover in a billion years
But if we're not living here
When we are..
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our race for sure
Just look into your eyes
Now do we have the strength to survive
When we are..
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our race for sure
Just look into your eyes
Now do we have the strength to survive
C'mon do we have strength to survive
C'mon do we have strength to survive
C'mon do we have strength to the
C'mon do we have strength to the
Do we have strength to survive
When we are..
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our pace for sure
Just look into your eyes
Do we have the strength to survive
At the pace we're going and the things we've done
Amazed in the way that we're all still here
Just looking at our last few years
And I'll task, in the west in the years to come
Does the dollar really matter when our whole world is gone?
Worry about yourself, while the world stills turns
Waiting until we watch it burn
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our race for sure
Just look into your eyes
Now do we have the strength to survive
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our race for sure
Just look into your eyes
Now do we have the strength to survive if I live here
It's not like cigarettes, not like your tv's,
Bigger and brighter than any other thing,
Just consum less, and giving back more
And live our old ways at the door
And I'll wait, if we don't
We can kiss it goodbye
Our sun, our moon, our earth and our sky
Our world we will recover in a billion years
But if we're not living here
When we are..
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our race for sure
Just look into your eyes
Now do we have the strength to survive
When we are..
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our race for sure
Just look into your eyes
Now do we have the strength to survive
C'mon do we have strength to survive
C'mon do we have strength to survive
C'mon do we have strength to the
C'mon do we have strength to the
Do we have strength to survive
When we are..
Stuck in a revolving door
Caught in our pace for sure
Just look into your eyes
Do we have the strength to survive

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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
