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 friends have found love in you
and i found truth
the hope beneath my feet walk upon
almost like a cigarette, i light up and smoke
inhailing in and out and back in again
you placed me on a pedistol
and placed me on a fence
you lifted me up from the side of the road
and im sure that you know that times are gonna change
no we'll never be the same
we're gonna grow up as men
then we're gonna change the world
yeah we're gonna change the world
yeah we're gonna change the world
And im out looking for love under the shade of the tree
some cool physical energy that i want to hold onto
and shes got blue eyes as blue as the sky
as blue as the sky
as blue as the sky
and there, we're laughing out loud
louder than the sun
i didnt drink no not one
i just stumbled to your voice
and my eyes went from yellow to pale white
girl, would you be my wife?
yeah this is what i'm gonna sing.
yeah you've gone and changed my world
yeah you've gone and changed my world
yeah you've gone and changed my world
yeah you've gone and changed my world
well we need to change this world
yeah we need to change this world
yeah no more war, yeah no more war
no more FCC or NBC or CBS or ABC
or MLA or the CIA or the fast food nation
or gas price inflation
no more indie scene
no more indie scene
no more indie scene
and i found truth
the hope beneath my feet walk upon
almost like a cigarette, i light up and smoke
inhailing in and out and back in again
you placed me on a pedistol
and placed me on a fence
you lifted me up from the side of the road
and im sure that you know that times are gonna change
no we'll never be the same
we're gonna grow up as men
then we're gonna change the world
yeah we're gonna change the world
yeah we're gonna change the world
And im out looking for love under the shade of the tree
some cool physical energy that i want to hold onto
and shes got blue eyes as blue as the sky
as blue as the sky
as blue as the sky
and there, we're laughing out loud
louder than the sun
i didnt drink no not one
i just stumbled to your voice
and my eyes went from yellow to pale white
girl, would you be my wife?
yeah this is what i'm gonna sing.
yeah you've gone and changed my world
yeah you've gone and changed my world
yeah you've gone and changed my world
yeah you've gone and changed my world
well we need to change this world
yeah we need to change this world
yeah no more war, yeah no more war
no more FCC or NBC or CBS or ABC

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i listen to this song at least once every day while getting ready to go out..where ever. it sets a good tone for the day.
