I have come to destroy!

Oh!

I have come to destroy his work, to cleanse the Earth of his name.
Let my words pour down and consume this flame.

Uha!

You will know judgment.
You will know suffering.

The currents of this world have pulled you under, will you overcome these tides?
You have been weighed down by the very thing that made you feel alive.

Do you have the strength to stay above the waves or stay on dry land?
Or are you weak standing in the dark and just coming up for air?
Do you have the strength?

Tonight (tonight) we'll see this through.
And now my heads above the water as I'm reaching out to you.
Tonight (tonight) we'll see this through.
The waves are crashing over me as I try to get to you.

Every eye will see him and the Earth will shake.
Everyone will fear him until there's nothing left.
Every eye will see him and the Earth will shake.
Everyone will fear him until there's nothing left.

Everyone will see him, and everyone will fear him.

Will you survive?
Will you survive?

Tonight (tonight) we'll see this through.
And now my heads above the water as I'm reaching out to you.
Tonight (tonight) we'll see this through.
The waves are crashing over me as I try to get to you.

This is the voice of God pouring from my lungs.
Will you survive?
Will you survive?

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”

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.

Amazing
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.
