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.
Nothing to see
I haven't seen
360 degrees
Still don't know what it means
Fall away
Still all the same
Can't remember the day
I have something to say
I feel the motion
But time seems to have its stops and starts
No matter where you are
No real intention
All that I have now is my fear
And it's all I hear
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Of static
I've travelled the line
Now I've fallen behind
Don't know what planet I'm on
I've been gone too long
I lost direction
'Cause time pulled me close and insofar
Through a million stars
No new dimension
And all that I have now is my fear
And it's all that I hear
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Of static
Scan the horizon
I can't seem to find the big reveal
It's all so unreal
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Of static
I haven't seen
360 degrees
Still don't know what it means
Fall away
Still all the same
Can't remember the day
I have something to say
I feel the motion
But time seems to have its stops and starts
No matter where you are
No real intention
All that I have now is my fear
And it's all I hear
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Of static
I've travelled the line
Now I've fallen behind
Don't know what planet I'm on
I've been gone too long
I lost direction
'Cause time pulled me close and insofar
Through a million stars
No new dimension
And all that I have now is my fear
And it's all that I hear
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Of static
Scan the horizon
I can't seem to find the big reveal
It's all so unreal
Left behind
Lost inside the confines of my mind
Try to find
Someone to hear me call
I search for signs
Of another who can bring me back to life
I hear the sound
Of static

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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
