Songfacts®:

  • In January 2015 Rise to Remain announced that they were splitting up, with three members - Austin Dickinson, Will Homer and Conor O'Keefe - continuing to work together in a new outfit, As Lions. This was the first song they wrote after the demise of their former band. Dickinson told Kerrang!: "Lyrically, it's about being on that fence and making a choice to continue - to not give up when everything could fall apart. It really reflects where we're at too. I've not really felt this happy (in a band) for about two years."
