What you've accomplished...
Towards me was sickening.
So I'll be sure to return the favor.
Horrible you just hurt me!
As you enter...
The anger you have become.
With rounds that enter my gun.
You killed me...
I haven't asked much, but I'll ask you...
Why would you destroy your best friend?

I'm so tired of looking...
Tired of gazing...
Over looking into mirrors just to see the reflection cry.
Watching the reflection cry...
So plain and simple.
So regretful but with anger...
With anger I need you to die.
As you die in the end will you?

As they plan on burying your lifeless body...
I'll be sure to shatter the tombstones that are laid...
There's nothing more I'd rather see...
Than you chasing bullets as you fall into a tub...
Then your heart goes comatose...
And your appendages are torn off...
Send me out with the harmony cause you're gone...
You're gone...
YOU'RE GONE!!!

Place this picture of my face in your lovers' hands!!!
Watch her dying in pain and in disbelief.
You're gone...
YOU'RE GONE!!!

YOU'RE GONE!!!
Now you're gone...
I feel that I've done my part...
But now it's time to stop this beating heart...
How could you even go?
How could you destroy!!!
Forgiveness is just not here.
Your best friend?
Your best friend!!!
I feel that I have done my part...
But now it's time for me to stop my beating heart...

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 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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
