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.
They had a seaside suite on the weekend of the 4th of July
He had a chocolate treat for every tear she cried
Then she fell down by the hand of him as she fell down
She said, "Here we go again, it's not my fault this time
As if it ever was before"
He's got her where he wants in the palm of his hand
He's effortless well, in the palm of his hands
She's helpless, but she feels safe when he's around
But she knows it won't be too long
She's been down this road a thousand times before
He always seems to come, before she's out the door
But not this time she said, "I'm gonna take my life back from him"
And not this time she said, "I'm gonna take my life back from him
And it's not my fault this time as if it ever was before"
He's got her where he wants in the palm of his hand
He's effortless, in the palm of his hands
She's helpless, but she feels safe when he's around
But she knows it won't be too long
Until she sees this side of him again
Until she sees this side of him again
Until she sees this side of him again
In the palm of his hand
He's effortless, in the palm of his hands
She's helpless, but she feels safe when he's around
And she knows it won't be too long
She feels safe when he's around
And she knows it won't be too long
Until she sees this side of him again
He had a chocolate treat for every tear she cried
Then she fell down by the hand of him as she fell down
She said, "Here we go again, it's not my fault this time
As if it ever was before"
He's got her where he wants in the palm of his hand
He's effortless well, in the palm of his hands
She's helpless, but she feels safe when he's around
But she knows it won't be too long
She's been down this road a thousand times before
He always seems to come, before she's out the door
But not this time she said, "I'm gonna take my life back from him"
And not this time she said, "I'm gonna take my life back from him
And it's not my fault this time as if it ever was before"
He's got her where he wants in the palm of his hand
He's effortless, in the palm of his hands
She's helpless, but she feels safe when he's around
But she knows it won't be too long
Until she sees this side of him again
Until she sees this side of him again
Until she sees this side of him again
In the palm of his hand
He's effortless, in the palm of his hands
She's helpless, but she feels safe when he's around
And she knows it won't be too long
She feels safe when he's around
And she knows it won't be too long
Until she sees this side of him again
