“

All of the problems that exist in our world are essentially the result of individuals without realizing or simply without regarding the consequences that those actions will have on their peers. We are all guilty of this. The result is a failure of trust. But despite this lack of trust, despite being let down and even given up on, we can’t give up on others. We can’t perpetuate this endless cycle of distrust. We must break it.

In this life, you will be let down. You will be dropped. You will be hur. You will not be appreciated. And when things are at their absolute worst, and you fall backwards, there will be no arms there to catch you.

But you must stand back up. We all must stand back up. And together we must help each other to stay standing.

To me, that is what this record represents. It is an angry record, because there is a lot in this world worth being angry about. It is a cathartic record, because it is a positive, meaningful, and necessary way of expressing this anger before the problems that cause it can be addressed. And it is a defiant and unsubmissive record because the people behind it will never fail to stand up after they have fallen. And that is the inspiration I draw from this record and from [members of In First Person].
