  ## Song Meanings
  
  Aaron Nordstrom on Basement: "Basement is pretty personal. That's just blatant discussion of me being the teenager with Albinism and my conversation with God at the time and being angry about it, not trying - not really understanding where I fit in in society in my peer group. [...] It was a working title at beginning, but it kinda worked out in a sense that as a kid, and even if I could now, I would, I always lived in the basement because it was darker. I'm photosensitive, being Albino, so it was always darker."
  
  Aaron Nordstrom on Mourning Star: "I wrote that at really stressful time of my life. It's not directly related to anything I was going through necessarily at the time. That song is more of a diatribe about the fall of Lucifer from heaven and in that sense of metaphor for everybody's kinda battle with their own faith in, I don't want to say God necessarily, but you know, their place in the universe and your purpose for being here. I went through a very, very emotional point when I was writing that song. That was a really heavy emotional time for me to put on paper."
