This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
Within us, all together
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
And we are all together
I can't keep my head up
I'd like to step on my friends
Step on my friend
But I can't keep my head my head up
I can't seem to keep my head
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
But you're still in
Treading water
(Keep my head)
(Keep my head)
(I can't keep my head)
I'd hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in
Swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
But you're still in
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep
But you're still in
Treading water
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
Everything is the same
Within us, all together
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
And we are all together
I can't keep my head up
I'd like to step on my friends
Step on my friend
But I can't keep my head my head up
I can't seem to keep my head
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
But you're still in
Treading water
(Keep my head)
(Keep my head)
(I can't keep my head)
I'd hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in
Swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
But you're still in
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep my head above ground (I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep
But you're still in
Treading water
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I think that a lot of the songs on this album have little meaning without taking the other songs in context. There is so much lyrical repetition from song to song, especially front and back. I feel like its the most organized album I've listened to in a while. The most obvious instance of that being Plastic Soldier, the 1st song, ending: "You can drift along You've got the time The rest of us will live and die Like plastic soldiers Only growing older" And Smile, the last song, ending: "I'd like to try to forget the times have changed And we all live and die Like plastic soldiers never growing older" There's an obvious change in mood, and a lot going on in between. My favorite being the concept of "It's not that I'm evil" (Creep in a T-shirt and Evil Friends) at the start, to "I just want to be evil" (Purple Yellow Red and Blue) at the end. What a wonderful album, and the best birthday gift ever.
