Epitomizing the “innocence” side of the album, “Never Be the Same” naturally overflows with upbeat energy, optimism, and a chorus that can’t be forgotten. “On the surface, it’s about a relationship that changes you forever,” says singer Michaei Barnes, whose soothing vocal performance resonates with depth and passion. In its deeper subtexts, the song is about standing in the crossroads between the past and the future, fighting forward without forgetting battles past. “Whether it’s a recovered addict looking back on that which once controlled him or a person simply reflecting on something lost or nearly lost, the song is about those issues that make up the chemistry of who you are,” explains guitarist-songwriter Jasen Rauch. “You've overcome it and it’s no longer a part of your life, but if you hadn’t gone through it, you wouldn’t be who you are today.”
