This song is about the bands experience working on the album. Lead guitarist James Adam Shelley told Billboard that “Its about our lives going after a dream and the sacrifices made”.
[Verse]
There was snow, there was snow
Stretched for miles and more
Where we buried, where we buried our souls
Oh, I long, Oh, I long
For them days left and gone
Where we sang and where we danced to a brighter song
But now I look upon a field with bodies stretched out and I feel nothing
But something's burning in my soul I let it lose control and I'm in
Oh God, I've sinned
[Pre-Chorus]
But I tried so hard, and we tried so hard
And it's a long long road, that you told me so
Yeah, I tried so hard, to forget where we are
[Chorus]
And all we do is laugh, and we sing
And we laughed oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
[Pre-Chorus]
But I tried so hard, but we killed our hearts
In valleys low, I hear the trumpets blow
Yeah, I tried so hard, yet I'm lost and scarred
[Chorus]
And I'm filled with regret yet I sing
And we laughed oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
