Background and production

The song is the opening track from Until We Have Faces. Guitarist Anthony Armstrong expounded on the song in an interview with Noisecreep: "It's us pointing a sarcastic finger at ourselves and at the people that have let the world define them," he said. "It's this 'give up, give up, you've already fed the machine' – all those things in the world that are negative, all those things that don't have any effect on us that can be inspiring."
