==Writing and composition==
Each song is named after a [[tarot card]] and each represent different ideals, vocalist Jake Taylor described the meaning behind each song. The track "Neverland (The Star)" describes people in adulthood slowly losing their sense of innocence and wishing to be taken back to the days of their youth. The track "Traveller (The Fool)" is about Taylor's wish to be "Joyous, happy and free from the ties of society, and living in harmony with the earth." The track "Departure (Death)" concerns "[dealing] with one of our greatest challenges: letting go." The track "The Unknown (Strength)" is about the need to have "courage, bravery and fortitude" in order to get through hard times. The track "Survival (The Chariot)" tells the story of working-class citizens "Year after year working on someone else's clock, all in an attempt to fund doing what [they] love."<ref name="kys" />

The track "Inertia (The Hermit)" deals with "solitude, patience and through wisdom it can help light the way." The track "B.I.A. (The Hanged Man)" is written about a close friend of Taylor's who died from suicide a year prior and depicts his inner conflict. The track "Shapeless (Judgement)" describes the evils of "Twisted political regimes use fear as the weapon to infect our minds." The track "Loreley (The Lovers)" depicts "the shadow of 'The Lovers' in that sometimes we are blinded by what we want to see and not what's actually before us." The track "Winterfell (The Tower)" is written "from the earth's perspective and depicts justice upon humankind for the misguided treatment of Mother Nature." The final track "Release (The Moon)" depicts "Tides of emotion enable us to see through rigidity and structure."<ref name="kys" />

Winston McCall of [[Parkway Drive]] performs on the track "Departure (Death)". Chad Ruhlig of [[For the Fallen Dreams]] is featured on the next track "The Unknown (Strength)". "Inertia (The Hermit)" features guest vocals from vocalist of [[The Color Morale]], Garret Rapp. Similarly, "Shapeless (Judgment)" features former vocalist of [[Northlane]], Adrian Fitipaldes.
