Song meaning

In a track-by-track commentary video released by the band, lead guitarist and primary songwriter Ben Bruce stated about the song:[1]

"We're not shying behind anything, like, 'Here I am, this is me, I'm fucking screaming at the top of my lungs, I'm not trying to hide behind a false ideology: this is who I am, this is what I've been through,' and it kind of encompasses this whole record. It's a very honest, open record, and it's like you can see what we've been through releasing this record, and that's what this song's about, and it's kinda like 'I'm here, my hands are up, I'm not hiding anything, I'm not fucking wearing any clothes, I'm fucking fully naked, this is me.' There's no twists, there's no nothing. What you see is what you get, and what we're telling you is the truth, as naked and as raw, and as natural, and as everything as it gets.""
