This song is about dealing with problems and how they effect ones life. riley said in an interview that he sent and email to the band about how it was hard to focus with ed and rily's dad passing and all. Dustin quotes some of the email in the song like the line "why does this keep happening?". Other parts of the song like the first line, "The shutter opens but never closes, I am waylaid, in light trails", was also in the email but Dustin mixed it up a little. Riley was talking about taking pictures and how there were light trails in the pics, etc. Great song none the less, take it how you want (like every thrice song) because there are many meanings in each set of lyrics. amazing stuff
