Skeleton

Set It Off get down to the bones on this rocker, where lead singer Cody Carson feels vulnerable, but authentic, unlike many people in his life. "We live in a world where deciphering between real and fake is already difficult enough," he explained. "I've dealt with my fair share of fake encounters, fake friends, and fake intentions. It's so important to me that you know me for who I am, at my core, at my best and at my worst. Being vulnerable shouldn't come with a rain cloud overhead and it certainly shouldn't be frowned upon. It should be encouraged. Through life's bumps and bruises I've learned it's easier spent stripping away the fear of letting go and saying how you feel, when you feel it. It's OK to be vulnerable. It's OK to be a skeleton."

The band got help with the songwriting on this one from Cameron Walker of the band Twin XL. LA-based singer-songwriter Bruce Wiegner (aka Bruiser) produced the track.

Drummer Maxx Danziger offered his thoughts on the track: "Being vulnerable is often looked at as a weakness. When in reality, it takes a lot of bravery to open up, discover who you truly are, and allow others to see that side of you. There's so much outside pressure swaying us to act the way others think we should whether it's your interests, hobbies, sexuality, career, gender identity, etc. The ability to block out that noise, find your true self, and be that person 100% is real vulnerability and real bravery. In my own personal experience, being bisexual always came with a stigma from other people that think bisexuals are just 'confused.' I would see people online being accused of 'faking it for attention.' All of these outside voices had me doubting not only if I should be open about who I am, but if this is who I really am at all. Once I stopped thinking about everyone else and started thinking about how I felt, everything became clear. It's still scary but I know who I am and I'm not going to pretend to be someone else to placate others. This is who I am, This is me."
