Lyrically, "the main thrust of the album was inspired by the building collapse in Bangladesh, the Rana Plaza in April 2013," said vocalist Greenway. He considered it "a major event in terms of human tragedy" with less media coverage and public awareness than it should have had. He concluded, "that's what truly highlights the point I want to make, which is that life seems to be viewed as cheaper in some points of the world, especially where it's treated as a kind of dumping ground for everybody else who is much more fortunate and who consumes."
