• Frontman Dave King explained the song's meaning to Alternative Press magazine: "It doesn't necessary mean, 'Let's all get together and have a huge, big revolution.' It's about changing yourself from within. I know a few people who, in the economic downturn, have lost their jobs and started doing something completely different. They've tried opening a restaurant or opening a petting zoo.
  
  It's about the worst of times and getting through that and rising above it. Sometimes it takes a tragedy for something good to come out of it. It's a positive-energy kind of thing. I want to project a positive energy. I think no matter what you write about, you have to convey an element of hope."
