At first, the Birmingham alt-rock four-piece create a collision of noise, soon mellowed with the vocals reminiscing an old time in youth. The track begins rather optimistic, talking through memories and the lights still shining in your eyes, reflecting the fact that they're somewhat still there, and how death (at first) is a far-fetched reality. The track talks of the journey loved ones often go through by the side of somebody suffering with dementia, there is always hope they will get better and when they remember moments and objects, that faith gets re-in stored, but towards the end of their dementia path, they (near enough) always get consumed by this terrible disease and even though they're still alive, sadly their memories have faded and died and they, as a person, are no longer with you.
"So you best embrace it 'cus we're gonna make it out alive. So you better face it, no one ever makes it out alive."
Throughout the track Fitzgerald flaunts his vocal range, giving the song a sort of pop-punk edge, alongside his rocky vocals as he transitions from a low pitch to high. The track itself has an immense impact lyrically, and the music video really compliments the message that Y!KES are aiming to convey.
