Behind the focus track 'Good In Goodbye'

'Good In Goodbye' is a deeply introspective track that delves into the raw emotions of heartache and the quest for understanding. The song’s imagery—ranging from the physical remnants of a relationship to metaphors of darkness and lost hope—creates a vivid portrayal of the pain and confusion that accompanies the end of a significant relationship. The recurring theme of searching for meaning and strength in goodbye reflects a universal human experience, making the song both relatable and impactful. Through its evocative lyrics and emotional depth, 'Good In Goodbye' offers a compelling reflection on the complexity of moving on and finding strength in vulnerability.

The chorus captures the essence of the song’s message with the lines, “maybe the scars you gave will make me strong one day.” This sentiment aligns with the vocalist Josh Mowery’s reflection: “This song is about the pain of acceptance, and the realization that some wounds are with you forever, and sometimes the best we can do to move on is find the Good In Goodbye.” The song underscores the search for silver linings and personal growth in the wake of heartache, questioning, “through all the pain, what have we gained?”
