The band's frontman, Jacob Bannon, offers a poignant insight into the song's lyrics, which were penned in a reflective moment at a funeral home parking lot.

This question delves into the human condition, highlighting our tendency to be distracted and our shortcomings in appreciating life's precious moments. Bannon continues, "Grief brings clarity. We all must do better."
This thought-provoking lyricism is a hallmark of Converge's music, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences and emotions.
