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.
sometimes I feel that I'm the only one in a crowded room
I talk you talk we'll talk but no one listens
and sometimes I just leave well maybe you'll notice but probably not
I'd just like to take you aside and make you look at me
really look at me
could I tell you that I'm crazy
would you buy into my lies
if I told the truth as far as I knew
could you look in my eyes and seeee
someone you could believe in
could you see someone you could call a friend
two thousand years a man died and He's the only One
who really knows how I feel (knows how I feel)
Jesus knew loneliness too as He hung on a cross despised
His closest friends said they didn't even know Him
makes me wonder how much they really did
at least I've got you to believe in me
cause we both believe in Him
and could I tell you that I'm crazy
would you buy into my lies
if I told the truth as far as I knew
could you look in my eyes and seeee
someone you could believe in
could you see someone you could call a friend
a friend
he was a man of sorrows
when I look in the mirror
that's what I see
we met through our sorrows
but His love is what's accepting me
could I tell you that I'm crazy
would you buy into my lies
if I told the truth as far as I knew
could you look in my eyes
yeah
I talk you talk we'll talk but no one listens
and sometimes I just leave well maybe you'll notice but probably not
I'd just like to take you aside and make you look at me
really look at me
could I tell you that I'm crazy
would you buy into my lies
if I told the truth as far as I knew
could you look in my eyes and seeee
someone you could believe in
could you see someone you could call a friend
two thousand years a man died and He's the only One
who really knows how I feel (knows how I feel)
Jesus knew loneliness too as He hung on a cross despised
His closest friends said they didn't even know Him
makes me wonder how much they really did
at least I've got you to believe in me
cause we both believe in Him
and could I tell you that I'm crazy
would you buy into my lies
if I told the truth as far as I knew
could you look in my eyes and seeee
someone you could believe in
could you see someone you could call a friend
a friend
he was a man of sorrows
when I look in the mirror
that's what I see
we met through our sorrows
but His love is what's accepting me
could I tell you that I'm crazy
would you buy into my lies
if I told the truth as far as I knew
could you look in my eyes
yeah

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.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This so is so freaking incredible. Really makes you think about your friendships, along with really knowing God, it's definately a challenge...
