Ran into an older me, knew I wouldn’t like what I see
They mistake your kindness as weakness,
Just like my favorite dog with a broken leg, wanted the sun
But got stuck in the shade
Stuck in the shade

Come back and let me in
Going down the wrong road
Come back and let me in
Going down the wrong road

Can’t turn it into something right, but you can direct
it into the light
Just another kick to get some dick invisible love as you,
Fuck it above just closing my eyes.
The bad seed isn’t too exciting to me,
Drags you down to something you don’t want to be,
So I turn myself into stone,
So I’m all alone, this story is old...

Come back and let me in
Going down the wrong road
Come back and let me in
Going down the wrong road
Come back and let me in
Going down the wrong road
Come back and let me in
Going down the wrong road

Those whispers you heard and saw,
Haunting moments you had with that one marching
devils by their side, ants on carcass, watch them
colide...
A wall built around, my self defense.
Shut yourself, demand it to end...
It never began

Come back and let me in
Going down the wrong road
Come back and let me in
Going down the wrong road
Comeback and let me in
Going down the wrong road
Comeback and let me in
Going down the wrong road

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

When We Were Young

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Amazing
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.
