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.
Everything in life happens accordingly
And that's exactly what you said to me
So don't claim your heart
When you're not beside me
Cause it's what you wanted
It's exactly what you said to me
It's exactly what you wanted
It all goes around the fact that
Telling me won't do any
Showed no truth stood alone by my side
Just know that you're one of many
Everything is fine and so it goes
I'll go on in life and just pretend
That we're good friends and I'm alright
Cause it's what you wanted
It's exactly what you said to me
It's exactly what you wanted
It all goes around the fact that
Telling me won't do any
Showed no truth stood alone by my side
Just know that you're one of many
I forced my thoughts; I know all your plots
It's in all I see yet eventually
I held your hand; it's in all that I am
When it comes around I'll be breaking down
It all goes around the fact that
Telling me won't do any
Showed no truth stood alone by my side
Just know that you're one of many
And so for now
I'm breaking down
And that's exactly what you said to me
So don't claim your heart
When you're not beside me
Cause it's what you wanted
It's exactly what you said to me
It's exactly what you wanted
It all goes around the fact that
Telling me won't do any
Showed no truth stood alone by my side
Just know that you're one of many
Everything is fine and so it goes
I'll go on in life and just pretend
That we're good friends and I'm alright
Cause it's what you wanted
It's exactly what you said to me
It's exactly what you wanted
It all goes around the fact that
Telling me won't do any
Showed no truth stood alone by my side
Just know that you're one of many
I forced my thoughts; I know all your plots
It's in all I see yet eventually
I held your hand; it's in all that I am
When it comes around I'll be breaking down
It all goes around the fact that
Telling me won't do any
Showed no truth stood alone by my side
Just know that you're one of many
And so for now
I'm breaking down
