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”
No wind blows.
As silky as my Full Moon Lover moves.
In the idle wilds of summer breezes.
No love grows.
Any warmer than his fireside eyes.
Oh midnight with a lover.
When the season pleases.
And he askes me why .
Why do you think you need me?
And what do you see
When you look straight through me?
And I said Full Moon Man.
You are a long lasting lover.
And I'll be running with you.
Ah even if you wanna run forever.
Like a clear mountain stream
Going all the way down
To the soft green meadow clover.
Floating on a river there.
Oh oh that'll never go under
Because you'll never be over.
On no wind blows.
As silky as my Full Moon lover moves.
In the idle wilds of summer breezes.
No no loves grows
Any warmer than his fireside eyes.
Ah midnight with a lover.
When the season pleases.
And he asked me why.
Why do you think you need me?
And what do you see when you look straight through me?
And I say Full moon Man
You are a long lasting lover.
And I'll be running with you
Even if you wanna run forever.
On love rolls on forever.
Love rolls on.
Love rolls on forever.
Sweet love, love forever.
Till we can see our love forever.
Until our love rolls on and on.
Till we can see our love forever.
Until lur love rolls on and on.
Till we can see our lover forever.
Until our loves roll on and on.
Till we can see our love forever.
Forever(fading echo)
As silky as my Full Moon Lover moves.
In the idle wilds of summer breezes.
No love grows.
Any warmer than his fireside eyes.
Oh midnight with a lover.
When the season pleases.
And he askes me why .
Why do you think you need me?
And what do you see
When you look straight through me?
And I said Full Moon Man.
You are a long lasting lover.
And I'll be running with you.
Ah even if you wanna run forever.
Like a clear mountain stream
Going all the way down
To the soft green meadow clover.
Floating on a river there.
Oh oh that'll never go under
Because you'll never be over.
On no wind blows.
As silky as my Full Moon lover moves.
In the idle wilds of summer breezes.
No no loves grows
Any warmer than his fireside eyes.
Ah midnight with a lover.
When the season pleases.
And he asked me why.
Why do you think you need me?
And what do you see when you look straight through me?
And I say Full moon Man
You are a long lasting lover.
And I'll be running with you
Even if you wanna run forever.
On love rolls on forever.
Love rolls on.
Love rolls on forever.
Sweet love, love forever.
Till we can see our love forever.
Until our love rolls on and on.
Till we can see our love forever.
Until lur love rolls on and on.
Till we can see our lover forever.
Until our loves roll on and on.
Till we can see our love forever.
Forever(fading echo)

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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.
