“Time is a slippery fish. Maybe only someone like Vida could grasp it. Although he’s left time behind, his image and that lefty heat remain in the memories of many. Eventually they’ll be forgotten, and hopefully replaced with even more exultant ones. This musical recording is a reflection on loss and its acceptance. We explore several examples for each song, including the loss of pride, of money, of glory, of country, of sanity, of a favorite sports team, of significant others, and, every day, one’s self. It also explores various associated moods–fear, panic, reverence, stoicism, and steadfastness–to arrive at a resolution: Loss is only a test, the glue that holds and erodes each memory, the connection that binds and loosens us all, pitch by pitch, inning by inning. “This is your celebration.”
Vida Blue is a person, moment, and memory, together the crystallization of apocalypse: "unveiling," "disclosure."

The most exciting heavy band around honestly. Every new release-a journey onto itself.

After sitting with this song for a few weeks, and understanding the general theme of the album, my interpretation is that this song represents the loss of loss itself. On one end, the loss of mourning, or the loss of longing, is in some way freeing, no longer placing so much emotional weight on something “gone”. However that loss of loss itself is painful in a way, losing what made that longing pain that comes with loss (of life, of status, whatever) important, and therefore forgetting what we cared for.
