This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
""Winter hides the dead Just like summer ends too soon Springing forth the new knowing Autumn is the tomb And I'll wait for you 'Cause it's waiting for you Living hides the dead just like Suns and earth and moon Springing forth the new knowing Flowers need to bloom And I'll wait for you 'Cause it's waiting for you Unsure? Well here's help with the wait The heavens move and the earth will quake And now god has failed and a metaphor There's only awe forever more Life is all dynamics Life is all... dynamics There's life in all dynamics Life is all dynamic Unsure? Well here's help with the weight There's only \""god\"" for \""heaven's\"" sake There's only one key to unlock the door You must get the metaphor (God help our mother... love one another!)""

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I know that Devin has stated that neither religion nor politics are relevant in his music, but I feel like this song is about the metaphor of 'god' and 'heaven' being so much more simple than people make it. Every thing is in variable acts of motion, aptly named Dynamics, and that once you realize it there is no reason to view yourself above others and natural processes that are occurring all around us. We are all one in the universe, swirling through the cosmos on the same journey. So cut the bullshit, get over yourself, and enjoy it. :)
