God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife
It's worthless and mindless
To preach, I resist that
You're right

God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife
It's worthless and mindless
To preach, I resist that
I am

What you despise
I am just a disgrace you will never embrace
The strength will rise
Everything that I do burns against you

These words are just a speck
In what you call my life's wreck
Mistakes forsake
And every word will break

This is hard to believe, I am not what you see
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine and won't waste any time
Don't believe in what you want for me

God save us, el control
Has brought us el calor
De sangre y hambre
It's our turn, we will burn
I am

This life is mine
My intentions are real, this is my killing field
I will not shine
Our souls turn to rust, turn our bodies to dust

My life is just a trek
In what you call my last breath
Mistakes forsake
Then every word will break

This is hard to believe, I am not what you see
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine and won't waste any time
Don't believe in what you want for me

This is hard to believe
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine
Don't believe in what you want for me

God save our souls, yeah
God save our souls

God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife
Tu control, tu calor
It's our turn, we will burn
I am

What you despise
How can I be oppressed and then confess?
The strength will rise
Everything that I do burns against you

These words are just a speck
In what you call my life's wreck
Mistakes forsake
Then every word will
Break

God save us, this new life
Has brought us this new knife

Silent Planet
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.

Plastic Bag
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.
