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.
When it come to you and me
And it's never how it supposed to be
And every time you come around
It get little harder to breath
If we only have tonight
I wouldn't change a thing
Well I wouldn't change a thing
And I aint going anywhere
It's to late for me to leave
It's to late for me to leave
Couse I'm falling slow motion
We only have this moment
Even if God gave us forever
It still wouldn't be another pure love
So as long as youryour servant
You know right back
A little more this borrowed time
Let's not waste what we have left
Just talking about goodbye, no
We can shit here pretanding
We have more than a life time
Than a life time
How came a song ended so soon
When it feels so right
Yeah it feel so right
I'm falling slow motion
We only have this moment
Even if God gave us forever
It still wouldn't be another pure love
So as long as youryour servant
You know right back
A little more this borrowed time
Borrow time
This life is us to live
This time is all we get so
I'm only falling slow motion
We only have this moment
Even if God gave us forever
It still wouldn't be another pure love
So as long as youryour servant
You know right back
A little more this borrowed time
And it's never how it supposed to be
And every time you come around
It get little harder to breath
If we only have tonight
I wouldn't change a thing
Well I wouldn't change a thing
And I aint going anywhere
It's to late for me to leave
It's to late for me to leave
Couse I'm falling slow motion
We only have this moment
Even if God gave us forever
It still wouldn't be another pure love
So as long as youryour servant
You know right back
A little more this borrowed time
Let's not waste what we have left
Just talking about goodbye, no
We can shit here pretanding
We have more than a life time
Than a life time
How came a song ended so soon
When it feels so right
Yeah it feel so right
I'm falling slow motion
We only have this moment
Even if God gave us forever
It still wouldn't be another pure love
So as long as youryour servant
You know right back
A little more this borrowed time
Borrow time
This life is us to live
This time is all we get so
I'm only falling slow motion
We only have this moment
Even if God gave us forever
It still wouldn't be another pure love
So as long as youryour servant
You know right back
A little more this borrowed time

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
