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.
You wait for fallen angels
We need no miracles
We seize on every moment
Come baby ride this movement
Do you think they really love you
As they kill and rise above you
Will they don't really love us
They can never really loooove
The more I love
the more I feel I can make it revolution
the more I make revolution
the more I feel I can make it love
We're not revolutionaries
Sit around and talkin pennies
We speak in a different fashion
Our language is direct action
For everyone who to stop us
We multiply three or four
No one or army could stop us
Cut down on the killing floor
The more I love
the more I feel I can make it revolution
the more I make revolutoion
the more I feel I can make it love
Do you think they really love you
As they kill and rise above you
Do you think they really love us
As they kill and rise above us
Will they dont really love us
Will they can really love us
Will they wont really love us
They can never really loooove
The more I love
the more I feel i can make it revolution
the more I make revolution
the more I feel I can make it love
the more I make revolution
the more I feel I can make it love
We need no miracles
We seize on every moment
Come baby ride this movement
Do you think they really love you
As they kill and rise above you
Will they don't really love us
They can never really loooove
The more I love
the more I feel I can make it revolution
the more I make revolution
the more I feel I can make it love
We're not revolutionaries
Sit around and talkin pennies
We speak in a different fashion
Our language is direct action
For everyone who to stop us
We multiply three or four
No one or army could stop us
Cut down on the killing floor
The more I love
the more I feel I can make it revolution
the more I make revolutoion
the more I feel I can make it love
Do you think they really love you
As they kill and rise above you
Do you think they really love us
As they kill and rise above us
Will they dont really love us
Will they can really love us
Will they wont really love us
They can never really loooove
The more I love
the more I feel i can make it revolution
the more I make revolution
the more I feel I can make it love
the more I make revolution
the more I feel I can make it love

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
awesome song, full of energy!
as with almost all of their song this is political and is about standing up for your rights. fights against the establishment.
