Banner told Consequence of Sound "The song is about feeling lost at sea and desperately searching for a beacon of light. It's about waiting for that one big wave to finally pull you under while clinging on to that one last ray of hope. It's a song to the person in your life that offers salvation while the storm is raging around you."[1]
