In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Yeah!
I don't feel the same I wish I knew something would happen
She said you'll never understand
They don't treat you the way that they treat me
They treat you different
Now I wish i'd never been
Cause I can't breathe
No I can't see
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
'Til I locked myself inside my room I'm a stranger in my home
I don't wanna drive cause i don't know where I am going
Get me out of here they don't seem to care
I think you need a place to go
and hide and push rewind and let this all be over (Let this all be over)
Tell me this will be okay, is everything alright?
Cause I can't breathe
No I can't see
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
'Til I locked myself inside my room I'm a stranger in my home
Stranger in my home
Yeah!
Oh, Oh
Fall asleep let the memories fade
Until you wanna cry (Close your eyes, close your eyes)
Close your eyes let the melody play and fall into rhythm
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
Stranger in my mind
Oh!
I don't feel the same I wish I knew something would happen
She said you'll never understand
They don't treat you the way that they treat me
They treat you different
Now I wish i'd never been
Cause I can't breathe
No I can't see
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
'Til I locked myself inside my room I'm a stranger in my home
I don't wanna drive cause i don't know where I am going
Get me out of here they don't seem to care
I think you need a place to go
and hide and push rewind and let this all be over (Let this all be over)
Tell me this will be okay, is everything alright?
Cause I can't breathe
No I can't see
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
'Til I locked myself inside my room I'm a stranger in my home
Stranger in my home
Yeah!
Oh, Oh
Fall asleep let the memories fade
Until you wanna cry (Close your eyes, close your eyes)
Close your eyes let the melody play and fall into rhythm
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
You never noticed
You never noticed me
I'm out of time and left behind I'm a stranger in my mind
Stranger in my mind
Oh!

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.
Amazing

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.
this is such a good song
song about him not being noticed by the girl hes crushing on.
the start where he says "yeah!" and the music kicks in, reminds me of pretty handsome awkward by the used. im really liking this album, nearly every song is really great! i love the chorus. good work (Y)
I love this song. It sucks they only have it on the Japan released albums though. I thought it could be about a guy not being noticed by a girl too, but I don't see how some lines relate, such as: "They don't treat you the way that they treat me, They treat you different" & "Get me out of here they don't seem to care"
I mean, who would he mean when he says 'they'? It sounds like a lot of the song is relating to his own internal pain and not necessarily all about the girl. Maybe it's the affect the girl had on him? I really have no idea.
The songs awsome, I love the heaviness and the guitars in the chorus, but personally I don't like all the auto-tune they've used on Cove's voice. It would sound much better without it.
