Don't wake the kids for tea
Be thankful their paws are clean
We've just sold our house for pennies
They'll be worried, just let them sleep

We will go to a town covered in snow
And settle down in a new home

Stand straight and tall
This is a misery that nobody wants
We're in control of this
Don't fear the fall
We've offered something that nobody wants
We're in control of this

Grab your T.V, books, and speaker set
You don't want to leave them behind
Letters, journals, pictures and thermals too

Remember who you are
Remember who you are
Remember who you are

Care for the ones you need
And maybe their hearts will grow

Stand straight and tall
This is a misery that nobody wants
We're in control of this
Don't fear the fall
We've offered something that nobody wants
We're in control of this

    this song to me is simply about change. most are afraid of any sort of change in their daily lives. what we sometimes forget is that we can control changes in our lives as long as we remember who poured out the change on us in the first place.

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”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
