Hang from the cross
Die for our sins and save us
Months after the end
I never got my revenge
All along we had it all wrong
My sad song won't lie
And I'm sure we played the wrong chords
But hold on for a while
Empty the clip
Kneel down and close our eyelids
Try and mop up the mess
But you'll never get rid of it
All along we had it all wrong
My sad song won't lie
And I'm sure we played the wrong chords
But hold on for a while
All along we had it all wrong
My sad song won't lie
And I'm sure we played the wrong chords
But hold on for a while

    "I never got my revenge" makes me think of Dom's attempted murder. Maybe it was on July 4th? Idk. Yeah, I know I'm another schmuck who suggests the worst possible interpretation like how 98.75% of the interpretations on this site say that every song is about drugs or some shit.

    Idk, other than that I just think of the feeling of being sick of religion and trying to figure out your own way to find peace. Music is like that for me, and I tend to listen to a lot of dissonant, noisy, atonal stuff, which mostly just makes things depressing. I listen to Nothing, for fuck's sake. Depressing as shit. Buttfuck it. It's good shit. Two thumbs up to that shit. Shit.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

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.

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.
