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”
(anatano yume ni watashi wo tamoteru)
Can you hold me in your dreams
(watashi wo kanjiru koto ga dekiruno
Watashi ga anata wo kanjiru youni)
Can you feel me like I feel you
(anatano yume ni watashi wo tamoteru)
Can you hold me in your dreams
(anatano yume ni watashi wo tamoteru)
Can you hold me in your dreams
(watashi wo kanjiru koto ga dekiruno
Watashi ga anata wo kanjiru youni)
Can you feel me like I feel you
Goodbye mother earth
Goodgoodbye mother earth
Can you feel me like I feel you
I don't want to kill time
I want it to live
I'm not wasting this life
I'm letting it in
You
Just rip off the planet
And take what you want
I'm
Coming to get you
If you give up
Beautiful destination
What's it worth
Beautiful destination
Goodbye mother earth
I
Am all that surrounds you
The earth and the sky
You
You're the mouth and the money
That's bleeding me dry
Why
I am not a spirit of the world
I heal the spirit of the world
I am not a spirit of the world
Goodbye mother earth

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.

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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 song seems surprisingly lucid compared to the stream-of-unconsciousness lyrics Karl Hyde usually comes up with: to wit, a pretty standard plea for environmental awareness. What I can't wrap my head around is who the narrator is supposed to be: "I am not a spirit of the world--I heal the spirit of the world" and "I am all that surrounds you/The Earth and the sky" suggest that he is not singing from the perspective of a human, but the kine "I don't want to kill time/I want it to live" is beautiful in any event.
