Danny writes with a no-punches-pulled honesty, coming to terms with who he is, accepting his faults and failings, and pondering what he can do to avoid fucking up again.
He said this about the writing process:
I’ve performed open-heart surgery on myself. It’s about going through the trauma that is...
[Verse 1]
Staring eyes wide open, gazin' into nothin', runnin' in place again
Going through the motions, in and out as the oceans, repeatin'
Numb to the silence, to the absence of emotion
The sum of the script, nothin' but a click in the rotation, yeah
Sick of the peace of mind that goes along with keepin' on, and I
Can't keep on keepin' on
[Chorus]
Feels like I'm stuck here suspended, at best underwhelming
What's wrong with me? (With me)
My conscious is calling, but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be
I'm hopelessly hopeful (Hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)
That I'm not stuck here suspended
In a world I pretended was right for me (For me), for me
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
What's wrong with me?
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Strung out on the same old, got an itch for somethin' painful
To feel somethin' real once, to remind myself it's not in my head
Sick of the calm coincidin' with stickin' in and with the line
Can't keep on keepin' on, it all just
[Chorus]
Feels like I'm stuck here suspended, at best underwhelming
What's wrong with me? (With me)
My conscious is calling, but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be
I'm hopelessly hopeful (Hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)
That I'm not stuck here suspended
In a world I pretended was right for me (For me), for me
[Bridge]
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
What's wrong with me?
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
When I close my eyes
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
When I leave the light
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Inside it feels like I'm stuck here suspended, at best underwhelming
What's wrong with me? (With me)
My conscious is calling, but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be
I'm hopelessly hopeful (Hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)
That I'm not stuck here suspended
In a world I pretended was right for me (For me), for me

Asking Alexandria vocalist Danny Worsnop shared with Alternative Press in a track-by-track review:
It’s about joining the band again, essentially. It’s when you have this knowledge that you have to have blind faith going into something like this and making a massive life change where I’ve left so m...
