This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The sky was on fire
And I screamed and cried
"Mother, get down!"
Then the shock wave hit and it blasted through
Everything that I thought I knew
Prayed to all the luck that followed me
Just see us through
But I felt that it was no use
So we said our goodbyes
And we waited
As I held tight
I knew right then that I would surely die
It was my time to go
I never felt more alive
Eyes closed
I saw the whole thing go
Missiles rained down, weaved and chose
Plague-filled pits swallowed men whole
Don't understand how we were passed over
I opened my eyes and we were still alive
But my mother had not seen
Some stone goddess drifted down
From the vibrant architecture in the clouds
She said we read the signs right
She said the time's ripe
O Death, I am through your eyes
I behold no end in sight
Now I know you as life
And ours are the hands that write
But it's a scary game
Blackened with the thousand fears of child to man
And it won't relent
No matter how long you keep crying or moaning
But it's wonderful
Use the hurt to shine
All on one, for how could one be THE without the world warning?
A voltage not yet understood
But it surges through all of you
Which is to say it surges all through me
It surges through everything
And I screamed and cried
"Mother, get down!"
Then the shock wave hit and it blasted through
Everything that I thought I knew
Prayed to all the luck that followed me
Just see us through
But I felt that it was no use
So we said our goodbyes
And we waited
As I held tight
I knew right then that I would surely die
It was my time to go
I never felt more alive
Eyes closed
I saw the whole thing go
Missiles rained down, weaved and chose
Plague-filled pits swallowed men whole
Don't understand how we were passed over
I opened my eyes and we were still alive
But my mother had not seen
Some stone goddess drifted down
From the vibrant architecture in the clouds
She said we read the signs right
She said the time's ripe
O Death, I am through your eyes
I behold no end in sight
Now I know you as life
And ours are the hands that write
But it's a scary game
Blackened with the thousand fears of child to man
And it won't relent
No matter how long you keep crying or moaning
But it's wonderful
Use the hurt to shine
All on one, for how could one be THE without the world warning?
A voltage not yet understood
But it surges through all of you
Which is to say it surges all through me
It surges through everything

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.
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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
