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”
Please, tell me the reason
Behind the colors that you fly
Love just one nation
And the whole world, we divide
You won't say, you're sorry
There is no other choice
God bless the people now
Who cannot raise their voice
We can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Whoa, we may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Violence brings one thing
More more of the same
Military madness
The smell of flesh and burning pain
So I sing out to the masses
Stand up if you're still sane
To all of us gone crazy
I sing this one refrain
We can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Whoa, we may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
And I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
Power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
We may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Say we can chase down all our enemies
We can even bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world into pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
And I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
I sing
Behind the colors that you fly
Love just one nation
And the whole world, we divide
You won't say, you're sorry
There is no other choice
God bless the people now
Who cannot raise their voice
We can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Whoa, we may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Violence brings one thing
More more of the same
Military madness
The smell of flesh and burning pain
So I sing out to the masses
Stand up if you're still sane
To all of us gone crazy
I sing this one refrain
We can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Whoa, we may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
And I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
Power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
We may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
Say we can chase down all our enemies
We can even bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world into pieces
But we can't bomb it into peace
And I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
I sing

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.
