This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I could never own up, I need to speak up
I don't want to grow up, don't want to end up
Caught in a landslide with the other side
Living for the paycheck, dying for the weekend
Take another Xanax, cheating on your girlfriend
Taking your last breath, counting down the time
Don't tell me it's too late, I'm stuck at Heaven's gate
Strike a match and start a wildfire
I'll own all my mistakes, won't give you what you take
Watch you burning in the wildfire
They said I'd never make it (watching me fall)
All the time I wasted (learning to crawl)
Crawl from the ashes as this world comes crashing down
Don't tell me it's too late, I'm stuck at Heaven's gate
Strike a match and start a wildfire
I'll own all my mistakes, won't give you what you take
Watch you burning in the wildfire
We won this war, we cursed and swore
They stood no chance at all (the underdogs came home)
We won this war, we cursed and swore
They stood no chance at all
I don't forget, I don't forgive
I'll never change the way I live
I always fought the urge to fall in line
I turned my back on all the rules
I'll never heed the king of fools
I'll never lead the perfect kind of life
I don't forget, I don't forgive (we won this war)
I'll never change the way I live (we cursed and swore)
I always fought the urge to fall in line (they stood no chance at all)
I turned my back on all the rules (we won this war)
I'll never heed the king of fools (we cursed and swore)
I'll never lead the perfect kind of life (they stood no chance at all)
The underdogs came home
I don't want to grow up, don't want to end up
Caught in a landslide with the other side
Living for the paycheck, dying for the weekend
Take another Xanax, cheating on your girlfriend
Taking your last breath, counting down the time
Don't tell me it's too late, I'm stuck at Heaven's gate
Strike a match and start a wildfire
I'll own all my mistakes, won't give you what you take
Watch you burning in the wildfire
They said I'd never make it (watching me fall)
All the time I wasted (learning to crawl)
Crawl from the ashes as this world comes crashing down
Don't tell me it's too late, I'm stuck at Heaven's gate
Strike a match and start a wildfire
I'll own all my mistakes, won't give you what you take
Watch you burning in the wildfire
We won this war, we cursed and swore
They stood no chance at all (the underdogs came home)
We won this war, we cursed and swore
They stood no chance at all
I don't forget, I don't forgive
I'll never change the way I live
I always fought the urge to fall in line
I turned my back on all the rules
I'll never heed the king of fools
I'll never lead the perfect kind of life
I don't forget, I don't forgive (we won this war)
I'll never change the way I live (we cursed and swore)
I always fought the urge to fall in line (they stood no chance at all)
I turned my back on all the rules (we won this war)
I'll never heed the king of fools (we cursed and swore)
I'll never lead the perfect kind of life (they stood no chance at all)
The underdogs came home

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“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.
