This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
On the phone I can't say anything
In case I say the wrong thing...
Main Lyrics
Are you magnetic?
Do you land in the right place
Complete Lyrics
on the phone I can't say anything in case I say the
wrong thing,
and you smile like you like this but maybe it's not
working,
I'm a stone under a mountain and I wish that you'd stop
thinking,
and you lie under the mountain cause you know you can't
do anything.
And you check your phone 'cause you're looking for an
escape,
sometimes when we fall we just land in the right place,
'cause we're magnetic and we land in the right place,
are you magnetic do you land in the right place?
It tasted bad I wore a mouth guard the blood was
overwhelming,
head over heel a mild concussion do you remember was I
talking,
you've been had and in attack you said maybe we're
exhausting,
it's not real but in attack I know just what you're
saying.
And you check your phone 'cause you're looking for an
escape,
sometimes when we fall we just land in the right place,
'cause we're magnetic and we land in the right place,
are you magnetic? do you land in the right place?
It's not real It's not real It's not real,
oh no it's not real it's not real it's not real,
go.
Do you collapse?
We collapse,
Do we collapse?
Can we do it again?
In this verse I found a credit card with six hundred
dollars on it,
in the next I hired a car and drove away,
if your world just tipped and spun around,
and flipped and flung us from it,
I think we'd land in exactly the same way.
You check your phone cause you're looking for an
escape,
sometimes when we fall we just land in the right place,
'cause we're magnetic and we land in the right place,
are you magnetic do you land in the right place?
it's not real it's not real it's not real,
oh no it's not real it's not real it's not real,
oh no it's not real it's not real it's not real,
oh no it's not real it's not real it's not real.
In case I say the wrong thing...

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

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.

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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
LOL anthony, i think youre completely wrong I think its about two people who can't keep away from eachother coz they're magnetic Maybe they keep breaking up and making up or maybe they keep dating other people but always come back to eachother Anyoneee?
