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.
Don't say it's like a fantasy
When you know this is how it should be
You kiss me
I'm falling can you hear me calling
You touch me, I want you
Feels like I've always known you
On a night like this
I want to stay forever (stay forever)
On a night like this
Just want to be together
On a night like this
(On a, on a, on, on a, on a, on)
(On a, on a, on, on a, on a, on)
Now I'm getting closer to you
Hold me, I just can't be without you
You kiss me, I'm falling
It's your name I'm calling
You touch me, I want you
Feels like I've always known you
On a night like this
I want to stay forever (stay forever)
On a night like this
Just want to be together
On a night like this
Seems like I've known you a lifetime (lifetime)
Now it's time to make you mine

On a night like this
Just want to be together
On a night like this

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.
