Matt: "This song is about placing your complete trust in someone who has the most important part of your life in their hands and the harsh learning experience you can endure as a result of that trust. As a band we have encountered some people we've looked up to with a great amount of respect long before meeting them only to find that respect to be unshared, and a lack of reciprocation in the sincerity and commitment we'd invested in them developed, as we watched them fall from grace before our eyes. In doing so, their true intentions were unmasked. It hurts to learn that someone who once lived up to a high set of moral values proves only to let you down in a matter you would have never thought imaginable. Sometimes first impressions can be quite deceiving. There is a lesson to be learned in all of this: Never place anyone on a pedestal, peel away the facade and see people for what they really are. Never have heroes, become your own hero."
