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”
Coming down like a hatchet,
Rollin' with the masses,
Throwin' my matches atop of the gasoline package.
Throwin' rhymes like rachets,
Playas with passion comin' disastrous bashin'.
Runnin' round with the wrong crowd acting like you all down,
Bout it, bout it, but you bow down.
What's up with you, what's up with you, what's up with me,
You're the one that I see through.
Right left, take a ride in the doperide, yeah
Right, left take a ride.
Getting paid in the last days.
Rage of the teenage.
Coming out strong and hard and on the front page.
Haven't I stated, never been faded.
If you steppin' up, for sure you're getting wasted.
Hangin' out base in time you're wasted,
Hear you talkin' local, I'm talkin' nation.
Everything I will be, everything I should be, everything you'll never be,
Everything you can't but you want to be.
Right left take ride on the dope ride.
Right left take a ride.
No apologies like I'm born-again.
No authorities gonna fumble my legs.
Yeah all these buster all people in this life want to talk that ya ya
I'm a show you how we deal with that up in m-town.
Rollin with the masses throwin' my matches,
throwin my matches atop of the gasoline package.
Rollin with the masses throwin' my matches atop of the gasoline package x3
Right left take a ride in the dope ride yeah.
Right, left take a ride.
No apologies like I'm born-again.
No authorities gonna fumble my legs.
Rollin' with the masses,
Throwin' my matches atop of the gasoline package.
Throwin' rhymes like rachets,
Playas with passion comin' disastrous bashin'.
Runnin' round with the wrong crowd acting like you all down,
Bout it, bout it, but you bow down.
What's up with you, what's up with you, what's up with me,
You're the one that I see through.
Right left, take a ride in the doperide, yeah
Right, left take a ride.
Getting paid in the last days.
Rage of the teenage.
Coming out strong and hard and on the front page.
Haven't I stated, never been faded.
If you steppin' up, for sure you're getting wasted.
Hangin' out base in time you're wasted,
Hear you talkin' local, I'm talkin' nation.
Everything I will be, everything I should be, everything you'll never be,
Everything you can't but you want to be.
Right left take ride on the dope ride.
Right left take a ride.
No apologies like I'm born-again.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
