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.
We walk the worlds, we move a mountain with our hands
We kiss the air, we talk of moving to Japan, oh
Give me something golden in my hands
Hands
Danz
We power up, we never stop until we're near
The way we walk 'til stars is falling on our feet, oh
Give us something whole to believe in
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I run you gotta run with me too
When I kiss you gotta kiss to be cool
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I fall you gotta help me along
When I die you gotta cry for my soul
Danz
We hit the rocks to power up and feel the heat
We throw a month to give it up for love and fear, oh
We can only feel if it's near
Near
Danz
We walk the worlds, we move a mountain with our hands
Dream pop cassettes, we cause neglect our chosen plans, oh
I can see 'em coming for us now
Now
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I run you gotta run with me too
When I kiss you gotta kiss to be cool
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I fall you gotta help me along
When I die you gotta cry for my soul
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I run you gotta run with me too
When I kiss you gotta kiss to be cool
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I fall you gotta help me along
When I die you gotta cry for my soul
We kiss the air, we talk of moving to Japan, oh
Give me something golden in my hands
Hands
Danz
We power up, we never stop until we're near
The way we walk 'til stars is falling on our feet, oh
Give us something whole to believe in
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I run you gotta run with me too
When I kiss you gotta kiss to be cool
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I fall you gotta help me along
When I die you gotta cry for my soul
Danz
We hit the rocks to power up and feel the heat
We throw a month to give it up for love and fear, oh
We can only feel if it's near
Near
Danz
We walk the worlds, we move a mountain with our hands
Dream pop cassettes, we cause neglect our chosen plans, oh
I can see 'em coming for us now
Now
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I run you gotta run with me too
When I kiss you gotta kiss to be cool
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I fall you gotta help me along
When I die you gotta cry for my soul
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I run you gotta run with me too
When I kiss you gotta kiss to be cool
When I call you gotta pick up the phone
When I want you gotta leave me alone
When I fall you gotta help me along
When I die you gotta cry for my soul
