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.
Look love what you've done to me
Not a sound, sneak up on me
Double take and I'm turned around, around
So many nights I laid awake
Hoping it was not too late
Try to go then I hesitate
But now, but now
I gotta face the facts
Can't run away or hold it back
I'm gonna give it all I have
And I want you to
[Chorus]
Use me
Teach me
I want to go wherever you lead me
Take me
Lead me
Cause I know in my soul that you won't deceive me
Use me
Reach me
See, right where you are is where
I want to be
And I'm ready to give my heart away
Come on and use me
It's a tug a war sometimes
And life's reverse this mind
But there's nothing I can't deal (I can't deal with)
This time I can prove to you
I'm the man you say you always knew
Got a lot that I mean for real, for real
I've gotta face the facts
Can't run away or hold it back
I want to share all that I've learned
And I want you to
[Chorus]
Come on and use me [Repeat: x2]
(Cause I'll never be afraid to give you anything you want)
Come on and use me
You gotta use me
(Cause I need to make it easy when the others make it hard)
Come on and use me [Repeat: x2]
(Cause I'll never be afraid to give you anything you want)
Come on and use me
You gotta use me
(Cause I need to make it easy when the others make it hard)
[Chorus]
Not a sound, sneak up on me
Double take and I'm turned around, around
So many nights I laid awake
Hoping it was not too late
Try to go then I hesitate
But now, but now
I gotta face the facts
Can't run away or hold it back
I'm gonna give it all I have
And I want you to
[Chorus]
Use me
Teach me
I want to go wherever you lead me
Take me
Lead me
Cause I know in my soul that you won't deceive me
Use me
Reach me
See, right where you are is where
I want to be
And I'm ready to give my heart away
Come on and use me
It's a tug a war sometimes
And life's reverse this mind
But there's nothing I can't deal (I can't deal with)
This time I can prove to you
I'm the man you say you always knew
Got a lot that I mean for real, for real
I've gotta face the facts
Can't run away or hold it back
I want to share all that I've learned
And I want you to
[Chorus]
Come on and use me [Repeat: x2]
(Cause I'll never be afraid to give you anything you want)
Come on and use me
You gotta use me
(Cause I need to make it easy when the others make it hard)
Come on and use me [Repeat: x2]
(Cause I'll never be afraid to give you anything you want)
Come on and use me
You gotta use me
(Cause I need to make it easy when the others make it hard)
[Chorus]
