Themes and composition

Regarding the song's meaning, Anthony Armstrong said it "talks about our innate ability as humans to cause destruction in our own lives. A lot of the time, we don't even realize that we ourselves are the source of the pain. And if we want to see a change brought about, it's a fight that we have to be willing to win."[1]

Reception

Chad Childers and Jake Richardson of Loudwire called the song one of the best of 2020, saying "The song is a soaring piece, building in intensity to the chorus until Michael Barnes delivers the power vocal that expresses the angst at its height."[2]
