Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
There's a new sound humming
You can hear it in the air
And if you listen harder,
This is it, this is it
There's always so much talking about
What's the look, where's the hook
That if you blink you’ll miss it,
Where's the dotted line?
I'll sign to be a vampire
Cry your eyes out
This night
Is that left, is that a riot?
Now that the train is leaving,
Full of sheep follow dogs to the pigs in the halls
And if you miss that feeling,
Change your clothes, change your name,
Don't stay the same
It's as if everyone is walking about
With hooks in their mouths
And when they blink they’ll miss it,
Thrown on the pile, we've lost another vampire
Cry your eyes out
This night
Is that left, is that a riot?
You can hear it in the air
And if you listen harder,
This is it, this is it
There's always so much talking about
What's the look, where's the hook
That if you blink you’ll miss it,
Where's the dotted line?
I'll sign to be a vampire
Cry your eyes out
This night
Is that left, is that a riot?
Now that the train is leaving,
Full of sheep follow dogs to the pigs in the halls
And if you miss that feeling,
Change your clothes, change your name,
Don't stay the same
It's as if everyone is walking about
With hooks in their mouths
And when they blink they’ll miss it,
Thrown on the pile, we've lost another vampire
Cry your eyes out
This night
Is that left, is that a riot?

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.
