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.
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Don't forget about me, don't forget about me
I want more adventure
I've been bored forever, my dear
This town drags me under
There's just nothin' left for me here
Drew blood in rebellion
I'm no longer welcome, alright
Here's both middle fingers
It's my revolution tonight
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase
Anywhere, but here is gonna fit me just fine
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase
Anywhere, but here I'm gonna have a good time
Feels good startin' over
Why don't you come with me?
Believe we'll be good for somethin'
I'll be Thelma, you'll be Louise
Either way, I just can't stay here
New day, different players I know
I'll walk if I have to
Goodbye, it's time for me to get the hell out!
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase
Anywhere, but here is gonna fit me just fine
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase
Anywhere, but here I'm gonna have a good time
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Bringin' me into the future, I wanna be tight
Don't loosen me up with a Mesopotamian life
Like, I love you to death, but I want you to know that you're wrong
Wherever the wild ones are goin' is where we belong
And even if everyone waves us, and money enslaves us
I know we will go hard to the end, like Magellen behaves us
And even if nothin' can save us, well, I still prefer brave us
Let's work till they the grave us
No limit to where this fire can take us!
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase
Anywhere, but here is gonna fit me just fine
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase
Anywhere, but here I'm gonna have a good time
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me, don't forget about me
I want more adventure
I've been bored forever, my dear
This town drags me under
There's just nothin' left for me here
Drew blood in rebellion
I'm no longer welcome, alright
Here's both middle fingers
It's my revolution tonight
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase
Anywhere, but here is gonna fit me just fine
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase

Feels good startin' over
Why don't you come with me?
Believe we'll be good for somethin'
I'll be Thelma, you'll be Louise
Either way, I just can't stay here

Goodbye, it's time for me to get the hell out!
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me

I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Don't you try to stop me
I'm not takin' no suitcase

Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me

Whatever you do, just don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me

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.
