This song is about longing for someone you know you can't have

A song about trusting eachother even in the hardest times. The song is written like the aftermath of a petty fight. It tells the story from one partners perspective. The love is deep and the arrogance selective

A song about the perfect person who made you fall in love. But even the most pefect things have a dark side.

This song touches on what can happen when a child challenges, and pulls away from family as they begin to grow and search for their identity. It explores how easy it seems to be in today's world for children to become lost not only to themselves, but to any thoughts, or hope for any type of future. Today's society seems to offer many more avenues of destruction and many more "slippery slopes" that children need to be guided away from, and supported through as they struggle towards adulthood. These lyrics simply reflect how the signs can be missed and how quickly things can slip out of everyone's control.

Good Life is a statement on how the media often portrays life and existence. While it often glosses over the mundane and presents an idealized version of daily living the truth for many is far from that reality. Of course "escapism" is the purpose of many of these programs or movies. But, if it influences thinking into a false sense of what is possible it can end up being detrimental as opposed to merely being entertainment.
