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.”
By simple definition I'd be scattered, Oh where do I begin
Well I'm stuck within the mortal framework
Of having to use words
And I, I've never been one
I've never been one for incompleteness
My attempts to say - never find their way nah uh
(All these things they escape me)
inconsistency is inconsistency within this conversation yeah!
[Chorus]
Sometimes: You know there's no limits and
Sometimes: I'm a mother, I'm a brother, I'm a lover and another
Sometimes: I'm scared but sometimes I'm a hero
Sometimes: But mostly I'm just me!
In some regards I'd use the term eclectic
The merging of experience
And different points of view - oh yeah
Well I think, I learn, I listen and
I sift my way right through
And I, I'm always the one
I'm always the one with fascination yeah
My attempts to say - never find their way nah uh
(All these things they escape me)
inconsistency is inconsistency within this conversation yeah!
[Chorus: x2]
Well I'm stuck within the mortal framework
Of having to use words
And I, I've never been one
I've never been one for incompleteness
My attempts to say - never find their way nah uh
(All these things they escape me)
inconsistency is inconsistency within this conversation yeah!
[Chorus]
Sometimes: You know there's no limits and
Sometimes: I'm a mother, I'm a brother, I'm a lover and another
Sometimes: I'm scared but sometimes I'm a hero
Sometimes: But mostly I'm just me!
In some regards I'd use the term eclectic
The merging of experience
And different points of view - oh yeah
Well I think, I learn, I listen and
I sift my way right through
And I, I'm always the one
I'm always the one with fascination yeah
My attempts to say - never find their way nah uh
(All these things they escape me)
inconsistency is inconsistency within this conversation yeah!
[Chorus: x2]

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
