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.
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
All week long I've been waiting
Every night I've been alone Holding on
Dreams of you keep me alive
This time, no, I'm never gonna' let you go
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
Open my mystery... you're the one who has the key
Bring that magical paradise
Never fails that you inspire uncontrollable desire
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
Close the door... turn out the lights
Turn me on with magical music... hypnotize
Lover man... so glad you're here
Whispering our secret language in my ear
Open my mystery... you're the one who has the key
Bring that magical paradise
Never fails that you inspire uncontrollable desire
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
When you're near, nothing is wrong
forgetting all about the day... all night long
You turn me on... with your heart
Baby don't you know... we'll never part
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
closer than you could ever imagine us
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
All week long I've been waiting
Every night I've been alone Holding on
Dreams of you keep me alive
This time, no, I'm never gonna' let you go
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
Open my mystery... you're the one who has the key
Bring that magical paradise
Never fails that you inspire uncontrollable desire
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
Close the door... turn out the lights
Turn me on with magical music... hypnotize
Lover man... so glad you're here
Whispering our secret language in my ear
Open my mystery... you're the one who has the key
Bring that magical paradise
Never fails that you inspire uncontrollable desire
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us
When you're near, nothing is wrong
forgetting all about the day... all night long
You turn me on... with your heart
Baby don't you know... we'll never part
Let's get close closer than close
closer than you could ever imagine us

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
