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.
I've seen the angel with sad eyes
Holding the flames of pure damnation
Bearer of light might evil one
Banished from heavens to rise again
Surrounded by thousands of serpents and beasts
Cursed child of damned god's spawn
Angel of abyss devourer of souls
Evil effigy shine the ancient rebirth
Supreme chants of necromatic prophecies
Throughout spheres of fire and light
Conjuration to rejoice on demon's wrath
Embraced onto infernal revelations
Deep in the darkest abyss
I evoke the almighty curse
From the light - bringed god of rebellion
I see the sun dies as I hear the children cries
Decipher of the seven seal Lucifer
Merciless massacre in thy name
Emperor of evil spheres purify with unholy wrath
Lord of the Antichrist legacy summoning the light for pain
Desolation all through the centuries enthroned as god
As the curse remains
The curse has been fulfilled
Before the holy alliance of perpetual fallen
Destiny fated for chaos and destruction
Usurper prince of devouring death
Atrocious Sabbath desecration of sacred blood
Shadows and darkness descends
As the shine of the most infernal curses
Ascends raising the dead again
Holding the flames of pure damnation
Bearer of light might evil one
Banished from heavens to rise again
Surrounded by thousands of serpents and beasts
Cursed child of damned god's spawn
Angel of abyss devourer of souls
Evil effigy shine the ancient rebirth
Supreme chants of necromatic prophecies
Throughout spheres of fire and light
Conjuration to rejoice on demon's wrath
Embraced onto infernal revelations
Deep in the darkest abyss
I evoke the almighty curse
From the light - bringed god of rebellion
I see the sun dies as I hear the children cries
Decipher of the seven seal Lucifer
Merciless massacre in thy name
Emperor of evil spheres purify with unholy wrath
Lord of the Antichrist legacy summoning the light for pain
Desolation all through the centuries enthroned as god
As the curse remains
The curse has been fulfilled
Before the holy alliance of perpetual fallen
Destiny fated for chaos and destruction
Usurper prince of devouring death
Atrocious Sabbath desecration of sacred blood
Shadows and darkness descends
As the shine of the most infernal curses
Ascends raising the dead again

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
