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.
Baby, I want ya
Nobody knows just how it feels
Certain, a dream, yeah
You're giving me something not so real
I'll be willing, I'll be a fool
I'll be something that you'd do
Baby, ooh
Nobody knows it feels so good
Time fades more
Than I want to say
Has gone away, tell me
What do I have to do to behave?
Baby, commander
Is there a deal that we can reach?
If ya feel the hunger
If you're in need of some relief
I'll be beggin', I'll be blue
I'll be something that you do
Baby, remember
Nothing can ever come of you
Time fades more
Than I want to say
Has gone away, tell me
What do I have to do to behave?
Come on, when ya gonna happen?
Nobody knows just how it feels
Certain, a dream, yeah
You're giving me something not so real
I'll be willing, I'll be a fool
I'll be something that you'd do
Baby, ooh
Nobody knows it feels so good
Time fades more
Than I want to say
Has gone away, tell me
What do I have to do to behave?
Baby, commander
Is there a deal that we can reach?
If ya feel the hunger
If you're in need of some relief
I'll be beggin', I'll be blue
I'll be something that you do
Baby, remember
Nothing can ever come of you
Time fades more
Than I want to say
Has gone away, tell me
What do I have to do to behave?
Come on, when ya gonna happen?
