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.
It can be a rush
Yeah, it's like a drug
When you give up love, it's never worth it
When you fight in fear
It can be so bitter
What we really need is each other
But I finally found the truth
I was using you
Every night you're gone, I swear it hurts
You're the atmosphere
Now you're gone
I can't live
Tell me what to do
I feel the pain all over my body
Was it the things I said?
Can I take them back?
Baby, 'cause without you there's nothing left of me
We can run away
We can change our fate
Baby, what can I do to show you I'm sorry?
I'm sorry, baby
What can I do to show you I'm sorry?
You're in a rush
You forgot your stuff
Said you had enough
Now I feel worthless
The only thing I had
Was a second chance
But what I really need is another
But I finally found the truth
I was using you
Every night you're gone, I swear it hurts
You're the atmosphere
Now you're gone
I can't live
Tell me what to do
I feel the pain all over my body
Was it the things I said?
Can I take them back?
Baby, 'cause without you there's nothing left of me
We can run away
We can change our fate
Baby, what can I do to show you I'm sorry?
I'm sorry, baby
What can I do to show you I'm sorry?
I'm sorry, baby
What can I do to show you I'm sorry?
Throw it away
Girl, my heart is out of place
This feeling is killing me
Girl, I promise I won't make the same mistakes
Don't say bye
I'm sorry, I, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I, I'm sorry
What can I do to show you I'm sorry?
I'm sorry, I, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I, I'm sorry
What can I do to show you I'm sorry?
Was it the things I said?
Baby, tell me what I did
Baby, 'cause without you
We can run away
We can change our fate
Baby, what can I do to show you I'm sorry?
I'm sorry, baby
What can I do to show you I'm sorry?
(I'm sorry, I, I'm sorry)
What can I do to show you I'm sorry?
Yeah, it's like a drug
When you give up love, it's never worth it
When you fight in fear
It can be so bitter
What we really need is each other
But I finally found the truth
I was using you
Every night you're gone, I swear it hurts

Now you're gone

I'm sorry, baby

What can I do to show you I'm sorry?

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.

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.
Definitely about Taylor. Joe: "i didn't cheat on the person but i really messed up and i wanted the person back" there were never rumors of joe cheating on demi but there were rumors about him cheating on taylor with camila and he had claimed before in a myspace blog that he never cheated on Taylor so...
