MakeDamnSure

This song is about a failing relationship where the two are still together but feel distanced and somewhat angry. "New head filled up with smoke" probably refers to the phrase of one's head smoking because of anger. "Veins all tangled close" also implies anger. "We lay together, but not too close" means that while they are still together, they have separation because of the fights they have had. The lyric, "I want to bring you down so badly" refers to how the guy wants to end everything with his girlfriend and tell her off completely and break her down emotionally.

Vocalist Adam Lazzara explained the song's meaning to Kerrang!: "I was trying to point out how, even though love can be beautiful, there's also a sadistic side to it too. I didn't think my lyrics were any good at first. Looking back at the situation I was writing about now, I think I hit the nail on the head."

In a 2016 interview with Alternative Press, Lazzara explained how his real-life relationship influenced the track. He and his then-girlfriend had a big fight and she left him an angry phone message, which he played for producer Eric Valentine, and it ended up becoming the song's bridge: I'm gonna make damn sure That you can't ever leave No, you won't ever get too far from me You won't ever get too far from me Lazzara admitted the message was "f--ked up" and "pretty sad," which made it perfect for a song about obsessive love.
