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.
I tried to love but I've grown so empty inside
I tried to love until something inside me died
I try to live with this hatred inside I hide
I close my eyes as I lose my fuckin' mind
I look back upon the days that have gone
My wasted youth all the shit that's gone wrong with me
I see the world slowly slipping away
My silent scream goes unheard every fucking day
With all my soul I never wished it to be this way
I've lost my faith but I fall to my knees and pray
I rot away in this world not meant for me
And thoughts of murder are the only salvation for me
I walk the streets this violence grows inside me
The people's faces I see I want to make them explode
I want to take back from them what they've crushed out of me
I want my soul my youth my faith my life and the love I can't see
These scars that poisoned my soul they just continue to bleed
I feel this rage this hatred it's killing me
The days go on with no end
This violence inside me grows
I feel the end's coming soon but I won't go alone
I hear it I know you won't believe it
Voices in me that makes me paranoid
There it is do you hear it I know that I'm not crazy
But day after day I lose my sanity
My life I've always been alone
I've always been alone
There's nothing left of me
The game is over the game is over for me
I'm left without a soul
My life is over, what's goin on
Why why must I cry Why why must I die alone
No love left inside
My kindness has give way to an endless barrage of emotional scars
No love left in my heart
I've been dead since my innocence faded away
Why why must it be this way
I ask myself this question each and everyday
My anger runs out of control
I just want to die
I tried to love until something inside me died
I try to live with this hatred inside I hide
I close my eyes as I lose my fuckin' mind
I look back upon the days that have gone
My wasted youth all the shit that's gone wrong with me
I see the world slowly slipping away
My silent scream goes unheard every fucking day
With all my soul I never wished it to be this way
I've lost my faith but I fall to my knees and pray
I rot away in this world not meant for me
And thoughts of murder are the only salvation for me
I walk the streets this violence grows inside me
The people's faces I see I want to make them explode
I want to take back from them what they've crushed out of me
I want my soul my youth my faith my life and the love I can't see
These scars that poisoned my soul they just continue to bleed
I feel this rage this hatred it's killing me
The days go on with no end
This violence inside me grows
I feel the end's coming soon but I won't go alone
I hear it I know you won't believe it
Voices in me that makes me paranoid
There it is do you hear it I know that I'm not crazy
But day after day I lose my sanity
My life I've always been alone
I've always been alone
There's nothing left of me
The game is over the game is over for me
I'm left without a soul
My life is over, what's goin on
Why why must I cry Why why must I die alone
No love left inside
My kindness has give way to an endless barrage of emotional scars
No love left in my heart
I've been dead since my innocence faded away
Why why must it be this way
I ask myself this question each and everyday
My anger runs out of control
I just want to die

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
