Back off from me
I don't need your thrills anymore
That spell you cast over me
It doesn't work as well as it did before
While all the others line up
In front of you, one by one
You decide what you were never meant to
Decide

Captivated, Trapped behind
The subconscious wall of a mastermind
I see
What would've become of me
I've never seen so many faces so empty
Leave now, don't contemplate it
I should escape while I'm not sedated
But what about my friends
And the death wish that the reaper sends

Follow me
And I'll take away your pain
Then I'll take away
What's left inside your brain

Good people say their prayers
And they think that you hear
Nevermind their souls
You make a profit from their fears
Who will bear witness
When everybody's gone
I...am left behind
I lived to see the dawn

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
