The story behind the song

"Leave Out All The Rest" plays like an apology, an emotional letter from someone moving on who wishes to be remembered for their positive qualities rather than their flaws. The band worked through over thirty lyrical variations to capture this feeling, aiming for humility in the lyrics. It combines various synths and samples with raw guitars, drums, and powerful vocals, creating a sound that was considered a potential single from the beginning. At its heart, the song is a plea for understanding and a lasting good impression.
