The album's subject matter covers a wide range; from romantic relationships to overcoming addiction, aging, and finally death in the closing track "When It Comes."

Accordingly, each song musically captures both the moods and tones of those stories as well as the more subtle personal narrative throughout the entire record through a heavy reliance on dynamics and alternative instrumentation allowing for a diversity that shows nearly every spot on the spectrum while never sounding out of place, forced, or unfami |
