The lyrics were originally about a bad breakup, and the music had an almost double time feel. But when I brought it in and was first showing it to everyone, Jake pulled that lead from the void and started playing it over it, and right away, I knew everything had changed. The basic structure and chords stayed the same, but the song now had this otherworldly vibe and direction, and the lyrics shifted to address some of the struggles we had been going through, and how the adversity just made us stronger."</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Band member Jake had this to say:</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P class="lia-align-justify">"I will say this, when he presented it at practice I said “Oh this rocks.
