“It’s a song about the feeling of doing your best as an individual yet still falling short in the eyes of those you hope to make proud.” adds Avila. “A lot of it stems from internal battles I faced growing up with my father, role models, and religion. Some of it comes from more recent experiences of being put under the microscope by my peers. It’s a gut wrenching sensation that I was able to tie lyrically to the visceral mood of the instrumentation that kicks off the track and begins the journey through Carnival’s overall theme.” – Uriel Avila
