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.
I got these thoughts in my head
Dirty as fuckin' and never leavin'
And then best left unsaid
All the drinks under breath
Got some shit off my chest
Put on my back next to the monkey nest
That somebody left
With me the day I was born
I got a hole in my head
The size of lake fuckin' Michigan
My pipes lined in lead
Got old school reasons to die
All my money's been spent
On a face lift with via alcohol
This sinner repents
To an empty bathroom reflection
Please take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
I got a bottle in hand
Straight to the ground with all my memories
It's best left unsaid
When they've all been left behind
All my money's been spent
On a D.I.Y. lobotomy
This sinner repents
To a lake and bathroom mirror
Please take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
So take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream you had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life
It might seem meaningless to you
But it means everything to me
And I'm fucked without you
Please take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life
Dirty as fuckin' and never leavin'
And then best left unsaid
All the drinks under breath
Got some shit off my chest
Put on my back next to the monkey nest
That somebody left
With me the day I was born
I got a hole in my head
The size of lake fuckin' Michigan
My pipes lined in lead
Got old school reasons to die
All my money's been spent
On a face lift with via alcohol
This sinner repents
To an empty bathroom reflection
Please take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
I got a bottle in hand
Straight to the ground with all my memories
It's best left unsaid
When they've all been left behind
All my money's been spent
On a D.I.Y. lobotomy
This sinner repents
To a lake and bathroom mirror
Please take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
So take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream you had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life
It might seem meaningless to you
But it means everything to me
And I'm fucked without you
Please take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life

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
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.
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.
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.
This song rivals exploding boy for the worst song Alkaline Trio is going to put out, now I understand that exploding boy was covered and blah blah blah, but lets face it exploding boy sucked balls and so does this song. I hope when Good Mourning comes out that none of those songs are as bad as this..
