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.
Can't stay with you, but I'll miss you
Soles on fire, I can't see through
All the smokey, smoking higher
And I don't know what to do
See the shadow, it stays beside me
In my dreams, it never likes me
Oh, it's a long road that I've created
I've got it under control
So why am I walking?
And this I don't know
Why I keep walking in circles
When I've got nowhere to go
Sand pulls quicker, sinks me deeper
I like the feeling, I let it linger
Where's my education? What was I thinking
Been lying to myself all along
And I knew I was wrong
I could tell in your eyes the love is gone
And I know I can't fix what I have done
So I keep walking until I'm done
And why am I walking?
And this I don't know
Why I keep walking in circles
When I've got nowhere to go
But I'll do this alone, and every tear I know is mine
And I will feel it in my bones, I'll be okay, just let me hide
Patterns change, just like the tide
And why am I walking?
And this I don't know
And I keep walking in circles
When I've got nowhere, got nowhere, to go
And why am I talking? When I have nothing to say
My head is a mess, and I'm not finding my way
But I can't stay with you, but I'll miss you
Soles on fire, I can't see through
All the smokey, smoking higher
My feet won't bring me to you
Soles on fire, I can't see through
All the smokey, smoking higher
And I don't know what to do
See the shadow, it stays beside me
In my dreams, it never likes me
Oh, it's a long road that I've created
I've got it under control
So why am I walking?
And this I don't know
Why I keep walking in circles
When I've got nowhere to go
Sand pulls quicker, sinks me deeper
I like the feeling, I let it linger
Where's my education? What was I thinking
Been lying to myself all along
And I knew I was wrong
I could tell in your eyes the love is gone
And I know I can't fix what I have done
So I keep walking until I'm done
And why am I walking?
And this I don't know
Why I keep walking in circles
When I've got nowhere to go
But I'll do this alone, and every tear I know is mine
And I will feel it in my bones, I'll be okay, just let me hide
Patterns change, just like the tide
And why am I walking?
And this I don't know
And I keep walking in circles
When I've got nowhere, got nowhere, to go
And why am I talking? When I have nothing to say
My head is a mess, and I'm not finding my way
But I can't stay with you, but I'll miss you
Soles on fire, I can't see through
All the smokey, smoking higher
My feet won't bring me to you

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”
