Background
The band's lead singer Alex Moore spoke of the album, saying “We’ve had a lot of fun creating album three. Though only a couple of years have passed since our last album, it feels like we’ve matured immensely as musicians." He described a lyric from "Reflections of Lessons Left" as “powerful and important to the times we live in”. The lyric was the first one written for the album and Moore noted it as “the catalyst for the whole album, setting its tone and message.”[1]
"When will they learn that it’s not matter that defines a being? It’s the reflections of the lessons they leave."
—Alex Moore, "Reflections of Lessons Left"
