Premise

According to Pop Evil lead vocalist Leigh Kakty, the song is similar to recuperation, as it is about focusing on what is optimal for an individual and those close to them. It is about holding one's ground, and asking one's self whether or not they would like to be someone important in the international community. Kakaty goes on to state that the composition touches on viewing one's reflection and combating the demon that one created. [1]
