This track is about the the moment of realizing harsh truth and deception, inspired by the idiom "scales fell from my eyes," signifying a profound moment of clarity where a misleading situation's reality becomes clear, often with a darker undertone, as frontman Myles Kennedy explains, similar to seeing something's true, less pleasant nature. The song captures the emotional impact of this disillusionment and the struggle to accept a shattered reality, with lyrics suggesting themes of lost innocence, betrayal, and the difficult journey to find inner strength amidst personal turmoil.
