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.
Legalistic people suck legalism makes me sick
I wonder what makes them tick? I want to go puke on it
Ephesians verse 2:8 states God has saved us not by works but by grace
So what's it gonna take? there's no getting through to you
So what's it gonna take?
There's no getting through to you
I'm way to young
To have a point of view
This whole thing just bums me out, Jesus knows my heart
But you don't care you've already made up you mind
I try to change my attitude but it's really hard
I'm so sick of you, God is gonna pull through
I wonder what makes them tick? I want to go puke on it
Ephesians verse 2:8 states God has saved us not by works but by grace
So what's it gonna take? there's no getting through to you
So what's it gonna take?
There's no getting through to you
I'm way to young
To have a point of view
This whole thing just bums me out, Jesus knows my heart
But you don't care you've already made up you mind
I try to change my attitude but it's really hard
I'm so sick of you, God is gonna pull through

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
This has got to be one of my favorite MxPx songs ever! The first time I heard it I almost cried. What Mike is saying here is powerful and meaningful. You can't work your way into heaven, it's only obtained by the acceptence of Jesus Christ (first three lines). We shouldn't judge people by how the look or any other irrelevant thing. We should, instead, look at the person's innternsions and motives; like Jesus. I love this song, and every thing else they've done (yes, even the newer stuff... it's not "MxPx" but it is good stuff...)
Oh wow, I was looking for an MXPX song with good christian lyrics and i'm spoilt here, a bible reference, two correct mentions of god and a good mention of jesus, man i love that song.
