This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You've been forewarned of the skake-shakedown.
Opinions stamped on the pulp of the tabloid newsstand gossip that stacks at your door.
You swallowed the last of free MA.
Car starts, four windows lowered away.
Last views of cityscapes crumbling.
Skyscrapers sink into the ground.
All static, no noise, turn the radio down.
Those bandwidth signals can't reach that far.
Don't go holding out on me now.
Don't go holding.
I thought that you had come to expect
I thought that you had come to expect more
I thought that you had come to expect
I thought that you had come to expect more
You've been forewarned of the skake-shakedown.
Opinions stamped on the pulp of the tabloid newsstand gossip that stacks at your door.
Don't go holding out on me now
Don't go holding out on me now
Don't go holding out on me now
Don't go holding

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.

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.
lowell, ma, hometown of me.
yea this song is great.. it really speaks of the city, because you drive 5 seconds from dracut, the town right next door.. and it is all suburban and farmy, right into the "cityscapes". and its sad, because it is a town with so much history, but it is crumbling into nothing.
I think it's about him leaving Lowell, which he describes as being old and crumbling (because Lowell is full of old building dating back to the Industrial Revolution). Driving away as he leaves, the skyscrapers disappear into the horizon, the radio stations are turning to static, and he's leaving Lowell behind.
Agreeing with a previous comment, this song really does describe the song well. Lowell seems so out of place in norther MA. It's so rich in culture and so urban when the surrounding towns are, well, country cow towns such as dracut with absolutly nothing to do (speaking from experience.)
my friend loves dcfc and got me into them...and she told me about this song [because i'm from lowell]
i think he's talking about lowell changing...because maybe ten years ago lowell was in pretty bad shape, there were a lot of gangs and drugs in the city [if you remember that documentary called "high on crack st"] and it seems that when he wrote this song that lowell was pretty shitty...the "cityscapes crumbling" and everything
now it's a lot better, downtown is booming with new business'...but i hate how lowell has such a bad rep...it's a lot safer than it used to be...
his favorite book is On The Road by Jack Kerouac, i read it in an interview
I was just thinking the other day, what if the line "You swallowed the last of free MA" is referring to methamphetamines, rather than Massachusetts? However, I'm not sure if meth can be taken orally ("swallowed"). I think it works out with the other lyrics (esp. "don't you go holding out on me now").
Oh man, I think this is my fave song on this album. I love it. And, oh man, the lyrics. What can I say? Death Cab is the BES*T
this song is so beautiful, one of the best on the album. definitely.
<b>nothing but love for dcfc</n>
best death cab song out there... "don't go holding, out on me now... i thought that you had come to expect more..." says it all right there.
this is definitely one of my favorite dcfc songs, it flows so good, and the music is beautiful
