In this poignant track, Hop Along delves into themes of nostalgia, loss, and self-discovery. The lyrics reflect a journey where the protagonist grapples with past decisions and their consequences, symbolized by the return to nature instead of following a planned path. The mention of horseshoe crabs being thrown back into the sun suggests attempts to correct past mistakes or perhaps to reconnect with innocent times. As the song progresses, there's a sense of regret and longing for what has been lost or changed, including personal identity and relationships. This narrative captures the universal struggle of growing up and facing one’s actions amidst life's inevitable transformations.
