Songfacts®:

  • This is a track from the experimental rock band Circa Survive's third album, Blue Sky Noise. Singer Anthony Green told Artist Direct the story behind this song: "Yeah, that song was actually one of the easiest songs for me to write. We started talking about it with the groove, the beat and the rhythm. We were discussing the state of making music and making art right now. We talked about how confusing everything is and how you have to make your own way. It's so confusing. It can be a huge trial. That song happened really effortlessly for me, lyrically. Having a song like that just makes you really lucky to be in a band like Circa Survive. I love that song."
