This song is about how in November 2016 the bands frontman Jake Segura tried to take his own life, while in the hospital bed afterwards he wrote the lyrics to this song on a napkin handed to him by a nurse. The song is a letter to himself (whom he addresses in the lyrics as “kid”), but also a message to anyone who has attempted or considered suicide, a plea for them to recognize their personal worth, move past their suffering and find something beautiful. In a sense, douse their past troubles in gasoline, light it on fire, and let it burn. This song is from the point of view of someone who has been there. Segura considers the role of the band beyond a rock performer and as a pathway to bringing the message of fighting the stigma of mental illness as weakness and encourage people to get help and work through their problems.
