According to the band, the album’s title is meant very positively and thematizes both the journey through existential darkness and the ability to break through it, while the lyrics involve making the most of life and not getting caught up in negativity. The sound combines the group’s latest material with some of the more traditional melancholic elements seen featured on previous albums.
