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”
My wallet
It's only getting lighter
I'll keep it folded for now
It's a paper weight
And I'd love to say it's easier to move,
To breathe, to walk
So much weight has been lifted though
Armor holds its value
And I'm always awaiting my cue
I'm always forgetting lines
Say dreams destroy us briefly
Scream like the frustrated
They hide behind the desks
And they're being held captive
Strangled by the phone lines
Spilling coffee on their best shirt
Lost myself in my subconscious, my old habits
Chewed my nails into rigid saw blades
I'll clock out one more time,
Keep my stomach from my throat
Empty both these cluttered pockets to scour for change
And I'm always awaiting my cue
I'm always forgetting lines
Say dreams destroy us briefly
Scream like the frustrated
They hide behind the desks
And they're being held captive
Strangled by the phone lines
Spilling coffee on their best shirt
My wallet
It's only getting lighter
I'll keep it folded for now
It's a paper weight
And I'd love to say it's easier to move,
To breathe, to walk
So much weight has been lifted though
Armor holds its value
And I'm always awaiting my cue
I'm always forgetting lines
Say dreams destroy us briefly
Scream like the frustrated
They hide behind the desks
And they're being held captive
Strangled by the phone lines
Spilling coffee on their best shirt
It's only getting lighter
I'll keep it folded for now
It's a paper weight
And I'd love to say it's easier to move,
To breathe, to walk
So much weight has been lifted though
Armor holds its value
And I'm always awaiting my cue
I'm always forgetting lines
Say dreams destroy us briefly
Scream like the frustrated
They hide behind the desks
And they're being held captive
Strangled by the phone lines
Spilling coffee on their best shirt
Lost myself in my subconscious, my old habits
Chewed my nails into rigid saw blades
I'll clock out one more time,
Keep my stomach from my throat
Empty both these cluttered pockets to scour for change
And I'm always awaiting my cue
I'm always forgetting lines
Say dreams destroy us briefly
Scream like the frustrated
They hide behind the desks
And they're being held captive
Strangled by the phone lines
Spilling coffee on their best shirt
My wallet
It's only getting lighter
I'll keep it folded for now
It's a paper weight
And I'd love to say it's easier to move,
To breathe, to walk
So much weight has been lifted though
Armor holds its value
And I'm always awaiting my cue
I'm always forgetting lines
Say dreams destroy us briefly
Scream like the frustrated
They hide behind the desks
And they're being held captive
Strangled by the phone lines
Spilling coffee on their best shirt

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
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Does anyone have this song's mp3 file? If so, Could you send it to me?! I'd really appreciate it.:) My email address is moonami@sayclub.com thanks in advance.
I think he's trying to say that making it as a rockstar isnt as easy as it seems.
