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.
I can't expect you to see
Me when I'm not around
And my voice is destroyed
By confinement of sound
I'm a human machine
Laced with hiddens disease
If the future is bleak
Then you're connected to me
Flesh into gear my self appears dissected and pretentious
A simple sound, a heavy side could win the whole world over
You live in fear of being someone that you didn't want to
I realize your insecurities will get the best of you
A traitors embrace
How foolish how wrong
Contained in one place
Anxiety spawns
Unopened reowned
What's needed upscaled
Digested inhaled
Unwilling unwound
Flesh into gear my self appears dissected and pretentious
A simple sound, a heavy sigh could win the whole world over
You live in fear of being someone that you didn't want to
I realize your insecurities will get the best of you (X2)
Me when I'm not around
And my voice is destroyed
By confinement of sound
I'm a human machine
Laced with hiddens disease
If the future is bleak
Then you're connected to me
Flesh into gear my self appears dissected and pretentious
A simple sound, a heavy side could win the whole world over
You live in fear of being someone that you didn't want to
I realize your insecurities will get the best of you
A traitors embrace
How foolish how wrong
Contained in one place
Anxiety spawns
Unopened reowned
What's needed upscaled
Digested inhaled
Unwilling unwound
Flesh into gear my self appears dissected and pretentious
A simple sound, a heavy sigh could win the whole world over
You live in fear of being someone that you didn't want to
I realize your insecurities will get the best of you (X2)
