Composition
The opening track and first single, "Sidewinder", was described by co-vocalist Michael Barr as "an unapologetic hate letter to a world gone mad, especially the corruption within the music industry. It offers an unfiltered perspective on a society in chaos, with no optimism or positivity. It's a song that captures the feeling of everything unraveling as we know it." [7] He also mentioned "Bad Habit" being "a song about identifying that habits that are deemed bad for you or unhealthy are sometimes the only thing getting you through life."[8]
"S.O.A.P." was written "about pure and impure indulgence. Good versus evil. Playing with fire or magic — the lines are blurred here. We self-nurture habits that are deemed immoral, although who is the person making that decisions for us?"[9] The final track, "Suffer On", features Black Sheep Wall vocalists Brandon Gillichbauer and Trae Malone. Barr explained that the song "was recorded on our last day in the studio. It was essentially regurgitated out in the most fantastic way the night before I went in to record. This happens never! Very few and far between, something is channelling through you, and you can jot it down within minutes. I. WAS. SO. PUMPED."[10]
