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.
Nobody knows, nobody sees
That what you can do
We your displeased
Which is most of the time
Not me
Yeah hear, my plea, Leave
Go away, to stay
Get out of my life
You've been my wife
I'll be to chose
To be
Yeah hear, my plea, Leave
You will be sorry
When you'll wake up tomorrow
And you leave a lover
Won't leave a love
You won't accept the fact
That I'm not ready for the death above
Forever love
By the look, on your face
Is that you're make it
To another place
I'll see you around
My sweet
Won't you please hear, my plea, Leave
That what you can do
We your displeased
Which is most of the time
Not me
Yeah hear, my plea, Leave
Go away, to stay
Get out of my life
You've been my wife
I'll be to chose
To be
Yeah hear, my plea, Leave
You will be sorry
When you'll wake up tomorrow
And you leave a lover
Won't leave a love
You won't accept the fact
That I'm not ready for the death above
Forever love
By the look, on your face
Is that you're make it
To another place
I'll see you around
My sweet
Won't you please hear, my plea, Leave

Wow, the lead guitar sounds a lot like the lead guitar in "I Heard Her Call My Name" by The Velvet Underground. That crazy, manic, coked up sound. I'm guessing Neil Young played it.
