In an interview, lead vocalist Biff Byford explained the inspiration for this song by paraphrasing its first line: "We were on the Russian border the day Chernobyl blew up." Pretty simply put, the song is about Chernobyl and depicts the terrifying moments after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The band was on tour in Eastern Europe near the Russian border at the time when they then heard the news of the nuclear reactor meltdown. It describes the fear and confusion that ensued, as people scrambled to find shelter and protect themselves from the deadly fallout that was spreading across the...

The song tells the story of a woman named Emma who is exhausted from trying to keep the pain of her situation at bay, but it becomes too much for her, and she seeks refuge from her misery. She's a victim of her own heart, as her passion led to her downfall, however no one is to blame for her pain, and nobody shows empathy for her.

The song tells the story of a woman named Emma who is exhausted from trying to keep the pain of her situation at bay, but it becomes too much for her, and she seeks refuge from her misery. She's a victim of her own heart, as her passion led to her downfall, however no one is to blame for her pain, and nobody shows empathy for her.

Overall, it's a saddening tale of some who get pushed to the brink of despair by life's hardships and relationship struggles, a poignant reflection on the loneliness, heartbreak, and despair that can accompany loss and shattered dreams. Emma's story serves as a reminder of the complexities of human emotions, the fragility of dreams, and the challenges of finding hope in the face of adversity.

This track is inspired by the 1943 film For Whom the Bell Tolls, based on the 1940 Ernest Hemingway novel. The song itself is about the Berlin Wall, which divided a city and a nation; A guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East Berlin and the German Democratic Republic. This song is a call for the dismantling of the Wall and the reunification of Germany. It was finally brought down by the German public in 1989 after a series of revolutions in nearby Eastern Bloc countries...

This song is a call for the dismantling of the Wall and the reunification of Germany. It was finally brought down by the German public in 1989 after a series of revolutions in nearby Eastern Bloc countries Poland and Hungary, causing a chain reaction in East Germany. Primarily however, the Pan-European Picnic in August 1989 set in motion a peaceful development during which the Iron Curtain largely broke, the rulers in the East came under pressure to cease their repressive policies, and the Berlin Wall fell.

Frontman Brian Aubert had this to say in reference to this song; Silversun is never going to get that snarky — even on this track, it’s hopefully only going to be in these certain ways when you hear it. I think the connective tissue with this song and the rest of them is we haven’t been trying to beat people in the head like, “Hear us, or here’s our point of view, and here’s what we have to say and you must hear us.” That is not interesting to us on any level as these things mean a lot to...

I think the connective tissue with this song and the rest of them is we haven’t been trying to beat people in the head like, “Hear us, or here’s our point of view, and here’s what we have to say and you must hear us.” That is not interesting to us on any level as these things mean a lot to us, but they mean different things to other people. People get the general gist of it, the little snark and the mischievous feel to it. This one feels mischievous to me.

Quite straight forward this song. No hidden meanings, neounces with how the words play with your emotions or perceptions. It’s about a relationship that has its ups and downs, bare bones is very connected, highly sexual and intimate but at times lacking the ability to survive amongst the difficulty within the constraints of life which can bring intimacy and commitment the possibility that someone you what and desire so perfectly just not make sense there and then. But it doesn’t have to end right there, something still exists between you and them and you both know it, just time will...
