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.
A cold night
A loss of words to say
There was of life that day
A void inside we can't describe
In my mind you're still alive
It feels like yesterday
That you were here
I was so sure that you'd stay
You took more than just your life
We'll try and bury out feelings inside
And this is what its like to die
Go to church
The pastor speaks his word
Now there's nothing left to say
The void inside we can't describe
In my mind you're still alive
It feels like yesterday
That you were here
I was so sure that you'd stay
You took more than just your life
We'll try and bury our feelings inside
This is what its like to die
We'll try and bury our feelings inside
And this is what its like to die
Bury our feelings inside
And this is what its like to die
A loss of words to say
There was of life that day
A void inside we can't describe
In my mind you're still alive
It feels like yesterday
That you were here
I was so sure that you'd stay
You took more than just your life
We'll try and bury out feelings inside
And this is what its like to die
Go to church
The pastor speaks his word
Now there's nothing left to say
The void inside we can't describe
In my mind you're still alive
It feels like yesterday
That you were here
I was so sure that you'd stay
You took more than just your life
We'll try and bury our feelings inside
This is what its like to die
We'll try and bury our feelings inside
And this is what its like to die
Bury our feelings inside
And this is what its like to die

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.

It sounds to me like this his girlfriend commited suicide and he can't except it yet...cause he says "in my mind you're still alive"
