Decibels and little pills and all the thrills you steal from the moon
Holding hands with bright new friends names are only good for gravestones
Because he was sweet and so was she, and you needed love to fill the dark
And time is a current that only flows from warm hands to warm hearts

No one here is going to save you
No one here is going to save you

In bed you said forever that the world would end if one of you let go
You woke up just in time for the sunset, you said "Let's all go to the big rock show"
And in the bar when you were playing air guitar they suddenly vanished on their little clouds
And in this place you can't find a face without a trace of despair, or a shroud

No one here is going to save you
No one here is going to save you

And you pull off your blouse, wet girls gone wild, for a crowd that just didn't want to know
And it's not your scene, everyone is mean, your eyes they say, "I don't want to know"
And how sad is that, your rebel cowboy hat, all it says is you're tonight's casualty
Oh, and the crowd is proud to look away like they've never been desperate or lonely

No one here is going to save you
No one here is going to save you
No one here is going to save you
Where's the one that's going to save you?

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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