To Nothing But Skin, this album is filled with references towards coming to Christ, accepting who you are, and staying strong despite the issues at hand. If you read the liners notes, all of them speak of God and Jesus Christ, and a few of them write very personal messages.
For those fans of UnderOATH who say that they aren't who they were, that they're a screamo band without direction, read a song like this with an open mind. They've grown both musically and lyrically, and I for one, am impressed with their sense of vision. They actually had something to say on this album with every song, which not a lot of bands can claim, whether they're "screamo", "metal", or otherwise.
Anyway, I wanted to get that off my chest. It bothers me when you compare the UnderOATH of today to the UnderOATh that first started. They've stayed true to their message.

That's enough for me.
