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.
Maybe I just wanna touch you
Feel you warm inside again
Maybe I just wanna hurt you
The sweetest pleasure is pain
I don't know why why
But I love to see you cry
I don't know why why
It just makes me feel alive
Are you coming... to the moment
When you know your heart can break?
I'm inside you
I'm around you
I just wanna hear you cry again
I don't know why why
It just makes me feel alive
You don't know how much it hurts
To watch you fall asleep
When you're in my arms
And if this dies before the morning comes
I wanna runaway
I wanna runaway
I don't know why why
But I love to see you cry
I don't know why why
It just makes me feel alive
Feel you warm inside again
Maybe I just wanna hurt you
The sweetest pleasure is pain
I don't know why why
But I love to see you cry
I don't know why why
It just makes me feel alive
Are you coming... to the moment
When you know your heart can break?
I'm inside you
I'm around you
I just wanna hear you cry again
I don't know why why
It just makes me feel alive
You don't know how much it hurts
To watch you fall asleep
When you're in my arms
And if this dies before the morning comes
I wanna runaway
I wanna runaway
I don't know why why
But I love to see you cry
I don't know why why
It just makes me feel alive

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
It is a bit sadistic I suppose, but I've always loved this song, for starters its natural for us men to want to dominate women - (ever seen a bunch of animals do it you'll get the picture) sex has this animalistic flair to it and so yes when we dominate women we get a sense of satisfaction. Another thing to keep in mind is that women can be beautiful in no matter what they do, and so even the act of a woman breaking down and crying is downright sexy, I was aroused the first time I listened to a certain somebody cry - (so much so that I had to do my level best to hide my saluting sergeant). If somebody can cry in front of you it means there are no longer any boundaries between you - so Its sexy spiritual and emotional at the same time - (I hope that paints a better picture for people who call the song sadistic garbage).
This song was very disturbing to me at first because i cry a lot so it had like this sadistic meaning to it, but afterwards I heard it so much the words just didn't mean anything anymore to me, it was just the sounds which are quite beautifull
this song is gr8 it speaks emotions true love which will only be lived in our imagination where everything is just perfect live on ppl peace all
I think it's supposed to be sweet but looking literally at it it's about a guy who gets off on raping the girl he loves.
I think this song has a double meaning. I think he wants his lover to reach her peak when they are having sex and cry... "Are you coming... " especially made me thought of his lover reaching climax. He likes to know that he is doing a good job. ;D
I must have a dirty mind. Anyway Enrique is so handsome :D
This song is so romantic it's not sadistic but dominant. Not raping her, but her crying from the pleasure. I love Enrique !!
