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.
Here I Come
Lookout
I'm lightning
Flying high above her town
She got a tailspin
She knew that I was coming down
I had a radar
Saw a flash on my screen
Well I went too far
She turned around and wiped me clean
She dropped me the bomb
She dropped me the bomb
I've done nothing wrong
She dropped me the bomb
I was lonely
A five star volunteer
I got excited
When suddenly she disappeared
My gun was loaded
_______(?)
When she exploded
Hidden right behind my back
She dropped me the bomb
She dropped me the bomb
I've done nothing wrong
She dropped me the bomb
She's a flying angel
High in the clouds
She shot down all the boys in the crowd
Shot right down
_________(?)
Could never miss the things she's done
I surrendered
When I thought I had her on the run
She was a decoy
She led me right in
I was shell shocked
She left me falling in a spin
She dropped me the bomb
She dropped me the bomb
I've done nothing wrong
Lookout
I'm lightning
Flying high above her town
She got a tailspin
She knew that I was coming down
I had a radar
Saw a flash on my screen
Well I went too far
She turned around and wiped me clean
She dropped me the bomb
She dropped me the bomb
I've done nothing wrong
She dropped me the bomb
I was lonely
A five star volunteer
I got excited
When suddenly she disappeared
My gun was loaded
_______(?)
When she exploded
Hidden right behind my back
She dropped me the bomb
She dropped me the bomb
I've done nothing wrong
She dropped me the bomb
She's a flying angel
High in the clouds
She shot down all the boys in the crowd
Shot right down
_________(?)
Could never miss the things she's done
I surrendered
When I thought I had her on the run
She was a decoy
She led me right in
I was shell shocked
She left me falling in a spin
She dropped me the bomb
She dropped me the bomb
I've done nothing wrong

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.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song sounds like a ripoff of two classic AC/DC songs: 'If You Want Blood' and 'Shot Down In Flames'.
