Background and development
In an interview with Loudwire, lead singer Mike Protich explained how he and the band wrote the song during their time in Los Angeles and carried a "darker vibe" similar to the grunge band Alice in Chains.[1] He also described the lyrics as being about existentialism and the meaning of life: "It doesn't really matter how you live your life here on earth, it's kind of insignificant when you compare it to eternal time because everyone comes out on the other side. How you live your life is up to you but you're going to come out on the other side regardless. It's kind of a simple concept but more cerebral I guess."[1]
Music video
Directed by Brad Golowin, the video features "mired images" of the band performing and lead singer Mike Protich covered in mud.[2]
