In Their Words: “This song is kind of an imaginary warning to my younger self and all kids who think life sucks. It’s pretty much saying, ‘Yeah, life does suck. But you can try to avoid the sucky parts, create your own space if you want, and it will continue to suck, but you’ll get stronger.’

I played the guitar track over 100 times because it was very tough to play with the metronome while recording. I got pretty frustrated, but when it was finally executed, it was my favorite song on the album. It is one of the few tracks we thought sounded fine with just guitar and bass.” — Sunny War
