TSSB lead singer Wil Wagner explains that the song, which he’s been working on for the last year or so, is about “not wanting to force your vices or negative aspects of your personality onto someone else. It’s about finding hope and meaning in little existence and day-to-day life, instead of just coasting through and being numb.”
