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”
Coming up from a sublevel known as the underground,
Kept it real and developed our own sound.
Didn't listen to no one else but ourselves,
Next thing you know, we've got records on the shelf.
On the shelf.
First things first, we get people to listen,
Understand this, we give them what they're missing.
Where they come from? I don't know,
But they stand in front of us and watch us glow.
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Well, I've been to the east and I'm from the west,
I've rocked my songs and I represent.
People think they're down when I come around,
They wait for years just to hear our sound.
No boast, no brag about herb we don't got,
What's up dawg? I don't want to get shot.
When the sun is shining and I'm about to get caught.
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Who's gonna give it up? I'm not gonna give it up.
You're not gonna tell me I'm done.
Who's gonna give it up? I'm not gonna give it up.
When I pay for my TV, cars and my dream.
I'm not gonna give it up.
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Go!
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
Drop in.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
Drop in.
Kept it real and developed our own sound.
Didn't listen to no one else but ourselves,
Next thing you know, we've got records on the shelf.
On the shelf.
First things first, we get people to listen,
Understand this, we give them what they're missing.
Where they come from? I don't know,
But they stand in front of us and watch us glow.
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Well, I've been to the east and I'm from the west,
I've rocked my songs and I represent.
People think they're down when I come around,
They wait for years just to hear our sound.
No boast, no brag about herb we don't got,
What's up dawg? I don't want to get shot.
When the sun is shining and I'm about to get caught.
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Who's gonna give it up? I'm not gonna give it up.
You're not gonna tell me I'm done.
Who's gonna give it up? I'm not gonna give it up.
When I pay for my TV, cars and my dream.
I'm not gonna give it up.
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Go!
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
Drop in.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
Drop in.

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.
When We Were Young

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
The band speaking about their formation and early years ... how they rose from a small scene to getting records on the shelf.
Seems a relatively modest take on their success too. Unlike other artists they are not big noting themselves, or talking about the fame and riches they had from their music (although they aren't a "big" band by any stretch of the imagination).
A very funky tune, that does really get you to drop in!!
