"'Die Young' is a rowdy song about revelry, rebellion, and commemoration in the face of social pressure to grow up or conform," frontwoman Abigail Cosio tells American Songwriter over electronic mail. "Equally a musician and a New Orleanian, in that location is a sense of agelessness hither in our city. This song is inspired by that lifestyle where value is put on living fully. Here we exercise what we want. Age is a concept of mind in a lot of ways. New Orleans approaches all things differently, and crumbling is no exception. We beverage and we trip the light fantastic at whatever stage or circumstance of life."
"'Die Immature' is well-nigh choosing not to carelessness that lust for life that is associated with youth," Cosio continues. "All the energy and adventuring spirit of our younger selves tin can exist kept alive, just information technology is a choice. Information technology's a knowing nod to our younger selves and the genuine surprise that we didn't get ourselves killed yet. And a petty play on the cultural allure of dying young, because we've fifty-fifty failed at that. So, damnit… let's live well."

"My expectations of the future started to shift and arrange as I began to encounter realities, soften ideals and collect experiences. Theory versus exercise. Adjusting the map along the journeying, maybe even ripping it in one-half. A relaxation of standards has occurred as I get closer to death and I experience more youthful in my willingness to try new things. A general lightening up."
"At that place is joy and peace in knowing that we are gonna be fine, relatively speaking," she adds. "A gift of crumbling. It seems to me there is a particular threshold y'all pass that living longer has shown me, when youthful aspirations meet realities and they blend together thanks to the noesis gained overtime. It highlighted all my wasted time in hesitating based on societal standards and ultimately has made me desire to live more authentically and saturated equally I collect years."

"This vocal fits into the album'south concept of finding joy or hope in all situations," Cosio says of "Dice Young." "Our electric current times are providing united states of america with lots of reasons to requite in to negativity, the wear and tear on a soul. This album is our mode of maxim that the but matter we tin control is our mindset, as nosotros go forrard into these insane times happening all around united states of america.
