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.
Stepping outside my head
I don't wanna hear what you said
I don't wanna fall down flights of stairs
Tripwires everywhere
I'm climbing trying to get from under you
If you ask me back I'll go, I need distraction
So pull every pin from every grenade
And blow it all up in my face
Make everything louder, do it till my skin vibrates
Make everything louder, I wanna hear my eardrums break
More volts in the system, drown out the symptoms
Everything louder, louder
I don't wanna listen, just wanna feel it
Feel it louder, louder
Put me in a sound proof room
A million miles from you
My ears would still be bleeding, shots of noise
Still seeping through
I wish I couldn't hear you
So pull every pin from every grenade
And blow it all up in my face, boom
Make everything louder, do it till my skin vibrates
Make everything louder, I wanna hear my eardrums break
More volts in the system, drown out the symptoms
Everything louder, louder
I don't wanna listen, just wanna feel it
Feel it louder, louder
You got the power
You got the power
You know the words that work
You know the words that work on me
You got the power (You got the power)
You got the power (You got the power)
You know the words that work
You know the words that work on me
Make everything louder, do it till my skin vibrates
Make everything louder, I wanna hear my eardrums break
More volts in the system, drown out the symptoms
Everything louder, louder
I don't wanna listen, just wanna feel it
Feel it louder, louder
Louder, louder
Louder, louder
Louder, louder
Louder, louder
I don't wanna hear what you said
I don't wanna fall down flights of stairs
Tripwires everywhere
I'm climbing trying to get from under you
If you ask me back I'll go, I need distraction
So pull every pin from every grenade
And blow it all up in my face
Make everything louder, do it till my skin vibrates
Make everything louder, I wanna hear my eardrums break
More volts in the system, drown out the symptoms
Everything louder, louder
I don't wanna listen, just wanna feel it
Feel it louder, louder
Put me in a sound proof room
A million miles from you
My ears would still be bleeding, shots of noise
Still seeping through
I wish I couldn't hear you
So pull every pin from every grenade
And blow it all up in my face, boom
Make everything louder, do it till my skin vibrates
Make everything louder, I wanna hear my eardrums break
More volts in the system, drown out the symptoms
Everything louder, louder
I don't wanna listen, just wanna feel it
Feel it louder, louder
You got the power
You got the power
You know the words that work
You know the words that work on me
You got the power (You got the power)
You got the power (You got the power)
You know the words that work
You know the words that work on me
Make everything louder, do it till my skin vibrates
Make everything louder, I wanna hear my eardrums break
More volts in the system, drown out the symptoms
Everything louder, louder
I don't wanna listen, just wanna feel it
Feel it louder, louder
Louder, louder
Louder, louder
Louder, louder
Louder, louder

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.

Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Although I don't usually like this kind of music this song has so much meaning to me.
I think its about that tiny voice in your head that appears about of nowhere and says stuff like "your fat, worthless, die in a hole, no one likes you" and your trying to distract yourself from it. No matter where u go you'll still hear it. (Put me in a sound proof room a million miles from you, my ears would still be bleeding shots of noise) this might not apply to everyone but that's what I personally think.
