Lyrical content
In an interview for Metal Hammer magazine in 2021, lyricist Alissa White-Gluz explained the meaning behind the song, saying, "It was a feeling that if every day in your life is a page in your book, you can lighten the load by burning the past. I liked the idea that you could be present, but look forward. Nothing is written in stone, everything can be burned and changed. In a way, it came down to being 27 and thinking, ‘Am I going to die this year?’ because that’s what people do when they’re 27, right? But actually no. I was going to be reborn. I’d just met the love of my life and I’d joined a band that was the opposite of everything I’d experienced before. I didn’t even have to be the same person today I was yesterday".[4]
