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.
your story is just a fictional dotted line
i point out faults and all you do is STARE!
ya tell me that i'm wrong and that you're right
well let me tell you something that i've found
your god's a myth created to control you without sight!
you crawl along head down, you can't see what's ahead of you
just a big book, and a fucked up one at that!
push your beliefs on to me cuz...
my mind's made up not to fuckin be sleighed
you will never take me down with lies
i can proove your god to be selfish
i can proove your afterlife wrong
i can proove your faith is empty
i can proove your MIND IS GONE!
countless examples pushing your beliefs onto,
children with an impressionable mind
give them a fucking chance to have their own LIFE!
tell me that you love all living things
you love me no more than anyone else
therefore your love is fucking WORTHLESS!!
if i'm not you then i'll be burning in hell
"thou shalt not judge" is what you're abusing
you're full of hypocrosy and you're full of lies
you can be forgiven for anything you've done
sins mean life so your life means nothing
don't pull other people down - it's your own fuckin fault!
you make me sick how you tell me that you're helping
i see your games, i see your mind, i see you're BLIND!
all i ever tried to do is live well
your forgiving god will forgive steeling
your forgiving god will forgive murder
your forgiving god, WON'T FORGIVE ME!...
for having a mind and being curious
won't forgive me for being MY(DAMNED)SELF!
turned to life devoted to myself
don't need your supposed happiness
don't need your supposed truths
when what i have is more than what you will
i'd rather live a life of truth and suffering
than a life of lies and a replica of happiness!
i can proove your god to be selfish
i can proove your afterlife wrong
i can proove your faith is empty
i can proove your MIND IS GONE!
i point out faults and all you do is STARE!
ya tell me that i'm wrong and that you're right
well let me tell you something that i've found
your god's a myth created to control you without sight!
you crawl along head down, you can't see what's ahead of you
just a big book, and a fucked up one at that!
push your beliefs on to me cuz...
my mind's made up not to fuckin be sleighed
you will never take me down with lies
i can proove your god to be selfish
i can proove your afterlife wrong
i can proove your faith is empty
i can proove your MIND IS GONE!
countless examples pushing your beliefs onto,
children with an impressionable mind
give them a fucking chance to have their own LIFE!
tell me that you love all living things
you love me no more than anyone else
therefore your love is fucking WORTHLESS!!
if i'm not you then i'll be burning in hell
"thou shalt not judge" is what you're abusing
you're full of hypocrosy and you're full of lies

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
