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”
Can I hold it down, have I been trying my best?
Eternal questions always asking, feeling distressed oh
I've been ticking more than time
A selfless man
You're casualty I can't forget
So, come on and let me know
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it
So this heart learns to trust
Can I change my ways and can I confront the past
Eternal questions always asking, failing the test oh
I'm s ticking bomb inside a selfless man,
You're a casualty I can't forget
So, come on and let me know
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it so this heart learns to trust
And the truth it makes no sense, my senses don't ring true
I'm feeling the pressure, distorting you
Tell me we're both done, why should I listen
Tell me we're both done, the words all go missing
Hold it down, have I been trying my best
Eternal questions always asking, feeling distressed oh
So, come on and let me know
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it
So, this heart learns to trust
And the truth it makes no sense, my senses don't ring true
I'm feeling the pressure, distorting you
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it
So, this heart learns to trust
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it
So, this heart learns to trust
Eternal questions always asking, feeling distressed oh
I've been ticking more than time
A selfless man
You're casualty I can't forget
So, come on and let me know
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it
So this heart learns to trust
Can I change my ways and can I confront the past
Eternal questions always asking, failing the test oh
I'm s ticking bomb inside a selfless man,
You're a casualty I can't forget
So, come on and let me know
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it so this heart learns to trust
And the truth it makes no sense, my senses don't ring true
I'm feeling the pressure, distorting you
Tell me we're both done, why should I listen
Tell me we're both done, the words all go missing
Hold it down, have I been trying my best
Eternal questions always asking, feeling distressed oh
So, come on and let me know
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it
So, this heart learns to trust
And the truth it makes no sense, my senses don't ring true
I'm feeling the pressure, distorting you
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it
So, this heart learns to trust
A heart glows in the night, in the day heart turn to dust
Say it and mean it
So, this heart learns to trust

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.
