Waiting my life for the sunshine
All of my cloudy days
You were just a prayer away
Okay Thanks for your patience
I been Dodging demons that didn't seem too dangerous
They were wearing masks and I couldn't see they faces
Things seem to disappear a tricky Situation
The idiot box got a block on people's agents
And them pokes don't seem the safest
Riding down freedom parkway
The irony
Cop pulls us over and I'm seeing how he eyeing we
So I watch his hands silently
Knowing than he could be stupid and react violently
I been sitting back bearing witness to the world
She been selling ass call it fitness to the girls
Its trippy And I know It
Once you take the lens off
The vision isn't blurry
Get a chance don't blow it
But Folks get an inch and make decisions In a hurry
I was back and forth on the plane
Tryna figure it out
Should i leave it or not
I done seasoned the pot
Halfway on the stove
Do you feel it or not
I can carry the load
If you believe it or not
And Ain't no reason to stop
And cant be sleep on the clock
Thankful lessons
Thank you for the stressing
That I didn't have to go thru if I just paid attention
Admitting my flaws that we often hate to mention
Wont make that mistake again
I'm spreading out my eggs
That one basket
Collapsed and I been on the fringe
A sudden death for the win can take you off the hinge
Roller coaster rides as you watch your mind bend
Trauma that you gotta handle if you wanna swim
Disappointment thru the years that I gotta get over
It's really still family
When we all become sober
I've been off of social media
Scrolling thru expedia
Planning out the whole thing
Dodging what they feeding us
I've been getting greedy
With my time and experience
I've been getting greedy with my time

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
