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.
Shoes crack where you walk
Settle down
Inside, outside, amazing
Cut it back
Get in some clean fresh air
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
Tongue tied, couldn't talk
Settle down
Inside, outside, amazing
Haven't lost
Haven't cared at all
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
And when you see a boat come
In a straight line
You know it's going straight down
And then you feel like a flower sender
Lender, like you
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
Nothing to see here
Cloud tank, given off
Watered down
Inside, outside, the razing
Wasn't cool
Wasn't fair at all
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
(I close my eyes)
And when you see the big crack in the sunlight
You know it's over somehow
And then a pinhole sky explodes out
Ball of fire
Supernova falls down on you
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
(Ball of fire
Supernova falls down on you)
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
Settle down
Inside, outside, amazing
Cut it back
Get in some clean fresh air
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
Tongue tied, couldn't talk
Settle down
Inside, outside, amazing
Haven't lost
Haven't cared at all
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
And when you see a boat come
In a straight line
You know it's going straight down
And then you feel like a flower sender
Lender, like you
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
Nothing to see here
Cloud tank, given off
Watered down
Inside, outside, the razing
Wasn't cool
Wasn't fair at all
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
Acute angles, divide my
Path that I had lost
Path that I had lost
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
(I close my eyes)
And when you see the big crack in the sunlight
You know it's over somehow
And then a pinhole sky explodes out
Ball of fire
Supernova falls down on you
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
(Ball of fire
Supernova falls down on you)
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here
I close my eyes
Nothing to see here

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
Holy Moly this song rocks. The last verse is a brilliant contrast to closing his eyes. I can't stop listening to it.
