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.
How can you leave me like this
I can not live or die
I'm in a state of no mind
And all the fear all the pain
Won't ever fade awat
It kills me time after time
I connect with your lord
answering questions
With my power
Constantly we will try to tear you apart
Destroy
Now just resting so deep
back in your real life
No one worries
Then we'll make a transaction don' you
believe In fear
Over and over this dream
is all the same
No one to turn to anymore
Now I'm the king for one day
King for one night
King of your faith
It's my world
World for one day
World for one night
World of my faith
You can call this a game but it turns
you to peaces
Nothing matter
The state of the mind is defenceless
nothing to do
It's useless
Now you want to go home
rest in peace
You thought you had
But no one seems to agree
with this anymore
It's bound to end
Over and over this dream
is all the same
No one to turn to anymore
Now I'm the king for one day
King for one night
King of your faith
It's my world
World for one day
World for one night
World of my faith
How can you leave me like this
I can not live or die
I'm in a state of no mind
And all the fear all the pain
Won't ever fade awat
It kills me time after time
I can not live or die
I'm in a state of no mind
And all the fear all the pain
Won't ever fade awat
It kills me time after time
I connect with your lord
answering questions
With my power
Constantly we will try to tear you apart
Destroy
Now just resting so deep
back in your real life
No one worries
Then we'll make a transaction don' you
believe In fear
Over and over this dream
is all the same
No one to turn to anymore
Now I'm the king for one day
King for one night
King of your faith
It's my world
World for one day
World for one night
World of my faith
You can call this a game but it turns
you to peaces
Nothing matter
The state of the mind is defenceless
nothing to do
It's useless
Now you want to go home
rest in peace
You thought you had
But no one seems to agree
with this anymore
It's bound to end
Over and over this dream
is all the same
No one to turn to anymore
Now I'm the king for one day
King for one night
King of your faith
It's my world
World for one day
World for one night
World of my faith
How can you leave me like this
I can not live or die
I'm in a state of no mind
And all the fear all the pain
Won't ever fade awat
It kills me time after time
