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.
Reaching for you
I know you're out there somewhere
It's too dark, I'm so cold
I know I had to come here
Every broken dream
That I leave behind
Keeps me going on
Keeps me running blind
Calling your name I hear only echoes
Searching the rain I see only shadows
You've got to show me your face
Voices, I hear them calling behind me
Phantoms of you are burning inside me
You've got to give me a sign
Fading slowly
You're drifting into darkness
I can't see, I can't think
I need to keep on searching
Every memory
Every thought of you
Is inside of me
Tells me what to do
Calling your name I hear only echoes
Searching the rain I see only shadows
You've got to show me your face
Voices, I hear them calling behind me
Phantoms of you are burning inside me
You've got to give me a sign
Can you hear me?
Am I only wasting time?
Are you near me?
Are you only in my mind?
Are you, are you?
Calling your name I hear only echoes
Searching the rain I see only shadows
You've got to show me your face
Voices, I hear them calling behind me
Phantoms of you are burning inside me
You've got to give me a sign
I know you're out there somewhere
It's too dark, I'm so cold
I know I had to come here
Every broken dream
That I leave behind
Keeps me going on
Keeps me running blind
Calling your name I hear only echoes
Searching the rain I see only shadows
You've got to show me your face
Voices, I hear them calling behind me
Phantoms of you are burning inside me
You've got to give me a sign
Fading slowly
You're drifting into darkness
I can't see, I can't think
I need to keep on searching
Every memory
Every thought of you
Is inside of me
Tells me what to do
Calling your name I hear only echoes
Searching the rain I see only shadows
You've got to show me your face
Voices, I hear them calling behind me
Phantoms of you are burning inside me
You've got to give me a sign
Can you hear me?
Am I only wasting time?
Are you near me?
Are you only in my mind?
Are you, are you?
Calling your name I hear only echoes
Searching the rain I see only shadows
You've got to show me your face
Voices, I hear them calling behind me
Phantoms of you are burning inside me
You've got to give me a sign

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
