In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Perfectly destroyed perfectly removed
Breathing living death tasting what I choose
To never be the same and never to amend
The dying of a heart and losing of a friend
I've lost my only friend
I've lost my only friend
Dead end for a sucker that's a sucker like me
Dead end for a sucker
Dead end for a sucker
Dead end for a sucker that's a sucker like me
Castaway
don't forget to
crucify and fall prey to the voodoo
what you do what you say and what you play
won't release them scares out of you
To your crimes you are a slave
Take to the grave
What you could of should of forgave
And forgot what you're not
and what you'll never be
Dead end for a sucker, that's a sucker like me
Yurasuka
Yurasuka
Yurasuka
Yurasuka
In my shelter
Going helter skelter in my mind
My kind is confined to the disinclined who
Do not communicate
Or never seem to
Fit clean into society's spine
Here's to a life gone before it began
A dead man marathon
Dead Babylon man
(Don't forget) what you are, and what you'll never be
Dead end for a sucker, that's a sucker like me
Breathing living death tasting what I choose
To never be the same and never to amend
The dying of a heart and losing of a friend
I've lost my only friend
I've lost my only friend
Dead end for a sucker that's a sucker like me
Dead end for a sucker
Dead end for a sucker
Dead end for a sucker that's a sucker like me
Castaway
don't forget to
crucify and fall prey to the voodoo
what you do what you say and what you play
won't release them scares out of you
To your crimes you are a slave
Take to the grave
What you could of should of forgave
And forgot what you're not
and what you'll never be
Dead end for a sucker, that's a sucker like me
Yurasuka
Yurasuka
Yurasuka
Yurasuka
In my shelter
Going helter skelter in my mind
My kind is confined to the disinclined who
Do not communicate
Or never seem to
Fit clean into society's spine
Here's to a life gone before it began
A dead man marathon
Dead Babylon man
(Don't forget) what you are, and what you'll never be
Dead end for a sucker, that's a sucker like me

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
the correct spelling appears to be "yurasaka", it's worth noting that yurasa is japanese for "shaken", ka generally acts as a question mark, so the title is essentially "shaken?".
a lot of the songs on disengage appear to be about losing faith and/or being consumed by pain and rage.
