The album speaks about the rebellious side of being a kid and the struggles of growing up and about how time marches on and how we all must deal with this progression.
The bands says of the album: "One day you’re counting down the new year on New Year’s Eve, then you’re counting down the months and days until you’re first child. You count on your parents, family and friends until one day some of them are gone and you find yourself counting the days and years since they left. The album comes to the conclusion that in seizing the moment each day, all will be good in the end."
