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.
Country day
A day in the unknown
A gentle breeze gently blown
Country day
Country day
Another day in the unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Country day
Where mister misses smoke
And things are finally clicking
Still having trouble with the things that are meaningful
But yeah, really clicking
Our dreams are where we're at
Where we can see and touch
With work we understand
But we don't want for much
Country day
A day in the unknown
A gentle breeze gently blown
Country day
Country day
Another day in the unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Country day
You infiltrate my life
You resonate with meaning
I wrote "I Love You" on a rock one night
Threw it, never dreaming
Now our dreams are where we're at
What we can feel and touch
It's work we understand
But we don't want for much
Country day
A day in the unknown
A gentle breeze gently blows
Country day
Country day
Another day in the unknown
I can feel it deep in my bones
Country day
And that rock it missed your head
Though it didn't miss by much
I remember what you said
No I mean it, I am touched
And somehow, it is enough
So God keep our land
Cause we certainly can't
Until the darkness ends
Until the sun dries again
Our dreams are where we're at
What we can smell and touch
Work we understand
We don't want too much
Country day
A day in the unknown
Where they'd been, where we're going
Country day
Country day
Another day in the unknown
Gently drawn to a close
Country day
A day in the unknown
A gentle breeze gently blown
Country day
Country day
Another day in the unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Country day
Where mister misses smoke
And things are finally clicking
Still having trouble with the things that are meaningful
But yeah, really clicking
Our dreams are where we're at
Where we can see and touch
With work we understand
But we don't want for much
Country day
A day in the unknown
A gentle breeze gently blown
Country day
Country day
Another day in the unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Country day
You infiltrate my life
You resonate with meaning
I wrote "I Love You" on a rock one night
Threw it, never dreaming
Now our dreams are where we're at
What we can feel and touch
It's work we understand
But we don't want for much
Country day
A day in the unknown
A gentle breeze gently blows
Country day
Country day
Another day in the unknown
I can feel it deep in my bones
Country day
And that rock it missed your head
Though it didn't miss by much
I remember what you said
No I mean it, I am touched
And somehow, it is enough
So God keep our land
Cause we certainly can't
Until the darkness ends
Until the sun dries again
Our dreams are where we're at
What we can smell and touch
Work we understand
We don't want too much
Country day
A day in the unknown
Where they'd been, where we're going
Country day
Country day
Another day in the unknown
Gently drawn to a close
Country day

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think this song is just about spending time with people you love and appreciating everything around you... kick ass song! same with the whole We Are The Same album
