This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm gonna lay down my old guitar
Gonna lay down my old guitar
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
And take it along with me
There's no one to cry for me
There's no one to cry for me
I've wandered so far away don't you see
And there's no one to cry for me
I'm sick in a lonesome bed
I'm sick in a lonesome bed
There's no one to hold my aching head
And I'm sick in a lonesome bed
I'm telling this world goodbye
I'm telling this world goodbye
I'm telling the world and my dear little girl
I'll soon tell them all goodbye
Gonna lay down my old guitar
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
And take it along with me
There's no one to cry for me
There's no one to cry for me
I've wandered so far away don't you see
And there's no one to cry for me
I'm sick in a lonesome bed
I'm sick in a lonesome bed
There's no one to hold my aching head
And I'm sick in a lonesome bed
I'm telling this world goodbye
I'm telling this world goodbye
I'm telling the world and my dear little girl
I'll soon tell them all goodbye

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.
