This song obviously alludes to Andrew's bout with leukemia "I survived", "I'm alive", etc. But it also has a universal theme to it, about finding inner-peace, that you can't live in the past, but it is tough to sometimes keep living, but it will get better. You will find the "light in the dark". This reminds me of "Watch the Sky" the bonus track off of Something Corporate's North.
It also reminds me of this quote by Andrew that I have part of on my facebook:
"The sun rose for all of us today but for me it meant more than most sunrises of my near 24 years. It meant that this year had past and a new one had begun. It meant that the wires were undone and the scars were just scars and yes; that it's time to move on. In this year I have seen dark places and I have seen some places flooded with light that I never knew existed. I have walked to the door of death and never felt more alive and I have learned something that is inherent whether we chose to live knowing it or not. That we are just pieces of this crazy universe, floating through space like every other piece of this crazy universe. You don't have to push or pull or fight or win, the struggle is illusory. Sometimes or rather, all times, you just have to be. I am doing my best to be and today it occurs to me that in being I have been very lucky."
Fantastic song writing by McMahon along with Bloodshot and Miss California, and I can not wait for TGP's official release.
