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.
I am lying in my bed
Watching the spider eat the fly
I say "How is that its breakfast even for you"
A little later I am sitting by the window looking out
The red palm is really blowing up the street
I am to stay up to eat breakfast
So I smell my favorite tea
A cup of coffee won't do for me
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by and they never even try
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by
Guess it's time for a walk
Just to read some license plates
What is Autumn doing creeping up on me
Going on the tube to scream when the train arrives
Rubbing cress on my skin, God it smells so nice
All the same I think I'll go on rolling up the hill
If I'm lucky you won't see me
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by come and ask me why
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by
Did you know that tuna fish float up to the surface
Belly to the moonlight just to cool down their heart down
'Cause it helps them just to think about the hurtful things
I guess it's just one way to get them some sedation
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by and they definitely die
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by
How days creep by and they definitely die
How days creep by come and ask me why
How days creep by
How days creep by
Watching the spider eat the fly
I say "How is that its breakfast even for you"
A little later I am sitting by the window looking out
The red palm is really blowing up the street
I am to stay up to eat breakfast
So I smell my favorite tea
A cup of coffee won't do for me
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by and they never even try
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by
Guess it's time for a walk
Just to read some license plates
What is Autumn doing creeping up on me
Going on the tube to scream when the train arrives
Rubbing cress on my skin, God it smells so nice
All the same I think I'll go on rolling up the hill
If I'm lucky you won't see me
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by come and ask me why
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by
Did you know that tuna fish float up to the surface
Belly to the moonlight just to cool down their heart down
'Cause it helps them just to think about the hurtful things
I guess it's just one way to get them some sedation
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by and they definitely die
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by
How days creep by and they definitely die
How days creep by come and ask me why
How days creep by
How days creep by

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I don't even know what "red army", "its breakfast tv for you", or "I am too stale to eat breakfast so I smell my favorite tea" mean. This song is very sad, it reminds me of the repetitiveness and hopelessness of having a chronic illness. Somebody did a crap job of jotting the lyrics down. THIS is what I hear:
I am lying in my bed Watching the spider eat the fly I say "How is that its breakfast even for you" A little later I am sitting by the window looking out The red Autumn is really blowing up the street
I am to stay up to eat breakfast So I smell my favorite tea A cup of coffee won't do for me
How days creep by in the greying sky How days creep by and they never even try How days creep by in the greying sky How days creep by
