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”
I walk without you but I need to believe
I've got my own eyes now and I you to see
There's no discretion in my voice and you need to stand clear
I've been falling out of time but I want you to hear
I don't think you care to know but you've taken out my heart and soul
They'll never break you but you keep it coming
I've got my own crimes now and I won't let you in
You can't appreciate it and I need to feel whole
I've gotta find a place to hide where I know you won't go
Cause I don't think you care to know but you've taken out my heart and soul
Now I don't think you care to know but I gave my life to be your whore
I think your moments come and if you feel this love you could save me
I fear my selfishness will be the end of this if you don't save me
I've never told you but I feel I must know
I've buried half my life in the same place you soared
I couldn't resurrect it I feel my arms break
I've got a long way left to go and you shown me no grace
Cause I don't think you care to know but you've taken out my heart and soul
And I don't you care to doubt it but I don't mind cause I've got time
I'd get on my knees if I could beg you to see you could save me
I fear my selfishness will be the end of this if you don't save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
I've got my own eyes now and I you to see
There's no discretion in my voice and you need to stand clear
I've been falling out of time but I want you to hear
I don't think you care to know but you've taken out my heart and soul
They'll never break you but you keep it coming
I've got my own crimes now and I won't let you in
You can't appreciate it and I need to feel whole
I've gotta find a place to hide where I know you won't go
Cause I don't think you care to know but you've taken out my heart and soul
Now I don't think you care to know but I gave my life to be your whore
I think your moments come and if you feel this love you could save me
I fear my selfishness will be the end of this if you don't save me
I've never told you but I feel I must know
I've buried half my life in the same place you soared
I couldn't resurrect it I feel my arms break
I've got a long way left to go and you shown me no grace
Cause I don't think you care to know but you've taken out my heart and soul
And I don't you care to doubt it but I don't mind cause I've got time
I'd get on my knees if I could beg you to see you could save me
I fear my selfishness will be the end of this if you don't save me
Save me
Save me
Save me

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.
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This has to be my fav of the second album from these guys then stop, but the intro and ending to this song is superb full on music till the end, to me a song about getting your feeling across about somone you ahve given you all to and letting them know you need them so bad yet they dont see it or even care yet you wnat them to save you no matter what.
