About This Track

Frontman Max Bemis told Alternative Press (Source Do Better Songfacts): “This is a song I wrote later on in the writing process. It’s about the recognition that we live in a flawed society. I wrote the lyrics first. They were a criticism about myself and, like, this really negative song. What I realized when I finally finished the lyrics is that I had overcome a lot of the things that I was making fun of about myself, and that to write a song about those things would be a novelty or sort of typical Say Anything act - to make a negative, self-deprecating song. So my goal was to write a positive, uplifting song, but still have it be very “Say Anything.” It’s about the ability every human being has to fulfill his or her potential. It doesn’t mean we can all be godlike, but we can do better than how we tend to do. Once you realize that, you have a lot more options open to you as a human being.”

    Max Bemis has a way with his lyricsand songs that he and sometimes when Chris writes, that it speaks to the listener. Unlike some songs out there today in the mainstream. Say Anything is what i consider a true band. A really good fucking band.

    This is a great song, just sums up so much and sounds powerful at the same time. One of the best songs off S/T
