This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
All day I face a barren waste
Without the taste of water
Cool water (water)(water)(water)
Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry
An' souls that cry for water (water)(water)
Cool (water)
Clear (water)
Water (water, water)
A-keep a-movin, Dan (water)
Don't you listen to him, Dan (water, water)
He's the devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water (water)
Dan, can't you see that big green tree (water)
Where the water's runnin' free (water)
And it's waitin' there for me and you
Cool clear water (water, water)
Shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool water (water)(water)(water)
And way up there he'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water (water)(water)
Cool (water)
Clear (water)
Water (water)(water, water)(water)
A-keep a-movin, Dan (water)
Don't you listen to him, Dan (water, water)
He's the devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water (water)
Dan, can't you see that big green tree (water)
Where the water's runnin' free (water)
And it's waitin' there for me and you
Cool clear water (water, water)
(Keep a-movin, Dan) (water)
(Don't you listen to him, Dan) (water, water)
(He's the devil not a man)
(And he spreads the burning sand with water) (water, water, water)
Cool clear water (water, water, water)
Without the taste of water
Cool water (water)(water)(water)
Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry
An' souls that cry for water (water)(water)
Cool (water)
Clear (water)
Water (water, water)
A-keep a-movin, Dan (water)
Don't you listen to him, Dan (water, water)
He's the devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water (water)
Dan, can't you see that big green tree (water)
Where the water's runnin' free (water)
And it's waitin' there for me and you
Cool clear water (water, water)
Shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool water (water)(water)(water)
And way up there he'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water (water)(water)
Cool (water)
Clear (water)
Water (water)(water, water)(water)
A-keep a-movin, Dan (water)
Don't you listen to him, Dan (water, water)
He's the devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water (water)
Dan, can't you see that big green tree (water)
Where the water's runnin' free (water)
And it's waitin' there for me and you
Cool clear water (water, water)
(Keep a-movin, Dan) (water)
(Don't you listen to him, Dan) (water, water)
(He's the devil not a man)
(And he spreads the burning sand with water) (water, water, water)
Cool clear water (water, water, water)

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
