Story behind the song
"Isn't Bright..." is told from the perspective of a sober individual who longs for a world free of decay - both from drugs and economic decline.
Lyrics
In the sunniest rain, you will find another why Another reason to make sense of the state that you're in And it might juxtapose all the feelings stored inside Bottled in, buried deep, dark and captured within And though I've never crossed this burden I can feel a little heartbeat that just is not stable anymore And you said, "This is troublesome." "I wanted to be free." "I wanted to be somebody - me." And so you see your family What will they do without you? Can you see the conflict brought upon your soul? We said that this foundation is running through Like all of the empty buildings in this hollow town They're caving in upon themselves, and they're all alone They're all deserted, they're far too gone And this is where we'll all end up You wanted to be free, but you went to live a life in misery So then you close yourself off from the rest of the world Forfeiting this comfort for a sharper edge A distant sign, a breath to hold And sure enough, you let go of everything that you were close to prior You just wrote your name in cursive Punctured in the softest layer of skin, right onto your arm And there, it spreads like fire But you wanted to be free You wanted to be somebody
