This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You left a cooler
at out house one night.
So we're keeping it full of ice.
On your advice.
Blue ribbons and red wine
You know it's hard to find the right line
That does justice to the crime
Now the justice has declined
To take the stand this time
Well all the wasted space is mine
Yeah I hardly have the right to sing about it
(Chorus)
Trick night and Halloween
An April Fool's bad dream
Cigar smoke over the moon
And you were leaving way too soon
Cheeto's and a hundred proof
Martinis on the roof
Cheeto's and a hundred proof
Martinis on the roof
And you were leaving too soon
You caught every book they threw
At you and your single malt recruits
With a Pipe shirt over your suit
Now the judges they love you too
And now we're crying in the house
Watching basketball on the couch
And we're trying to work it out
Yeah we're all trying to work it out
But you would not have us pout
Or sing about it
(Chorus)
Yeah you left too soon
at out house one night.
So we're keeping it full of ice.
On your advice.
Blue ribbons and red wine
You know it's hard to find the right line
That does justice to the crime
Now the justice has declined
To take the stand this time
Well all the wasted space is mine
Yeah I hardly have the right to sing about it
(Chorus)
Trick night and Halloween
An April Fool's bad dream
Cigar smoke over the moon
And you were leaving way too soon
Cheeto's and a hundred proof
Martinis on the roof
Cheeto's and a hundred proof
Martinis on the roof
And you were leaving too soon
You caught every book they threw
At you and your single malt recruits
With a Pipe shirt over your suit
Now the judges they love you too
And now we're crying in the house
Watching basketball on the couch
And we're trying to work it out
Yeah we're all trying to work it out
But you would not have us pout
Or sing about it
(Chorus)
Yeah you left too soon

Hayalperest
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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Read an interview a while back with the band in which this song came up. It's actually about a friend of the band's who was killed in an automobile accident. Supposedly when Mac sang it for the first time the rest of the band was in tears. For years I thought it was just a party tune, and after reading that, it has a whole new depth and poignancy.
@8stringfan I mean, it still feels like a party tune. Just not a feel-good party tune.
I'm probably a bit off base on these lyrics. My wife thinks it's "Trick Night on Halloween".
I tried to transcribe this about 10 years and gave up because of the fool I would make of myself with the chorus. I always went back and forth between:
Chivas at a hundred proof or Cheetos and a hundred proof
Chivas makes sense with the 'single malt recruit' line, but it really sounds like Mac is saying Cheetos. And I don't think they make a Chivas that's 100 proof.
