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.
The consequence of a child
The mild months of worthwhile
No mess? you better decide
With grace but not by design
She smokes like guns to the world
Will catch your moderate slur
And sing your modern love song
But wish you died anyway
Now gone I'm gonna get you for that
Get you more like a chance
Some more of a guts to the wall
The guts that cut through your lungs
Every breath takes a sound
You're deciding on them all
I felt like I would learn to fly the pattern you were aiming for
You feel like time is not all necessary, but my mind would
I come around so much less without you, without you
I can't breathe
The consequence of a child
The mild months of worthwhile
No mess? you better decide
With grace but not by design
She smokes like guns to the world
Will catch your moderate slur
And sing your modern love song
But wish you died anyway
Now gone I'm gonna get you for that
Get you more like a chance
Some more of a guts to the wall
The guts that cut through your lungs
Every breath takes a sound
You're deciding on them all
I felt like I would learn to fly the pattern you were aiming for
You feel like time is not all necessary, but my mind would
I come around so much less without you, without you
I can't breathe
I can only think that you would be unhappy for me after all the silly shit we've been through
I can only hope that life would be so lax and so free when the mornings catch you more than before
I would only hope that everything would come back to you just to say you wanted me too
I would be the one to let you catch up and go through, go through
I felt like I would learn to fly the pattern you were aiming for
You feel like time is not all necessary, but my mind would
I come around so much less without you, without you
I can't breathe
The mild months of worthwhile
No mess? you better decide
With grace but not by design
She smokes like guns to the world
Will catch your moderate slur
And sing your modern love song
But wish you died anyway
Now gone I'm gonna get you for that
Get you more like a chance
Some more of a guts to the wall
The guts that cut through your lungs
Every breath takes a sound
You're deciding on them all
I felt like I would learn to fly the pattern you were aiming for
You feel like time is not all necessary, but my mind would
I come around so much less without you, without you
I can't breathe

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”
