I wanted to share my interpretation of the lyrics with you. To me, it is about what happened in the band ever since Richie left and the problems with the label.

This is what the guys have worked for and built over 30 years... people outside were questioning if there would be a band anymore, the label seemed to want to take over their masters...that to me, is the metaphor with the coal black sky and streets outside burning.

Everything was looking dim and dark outside, the band was "broken" (like the house is described in the lyrics), it would have been easier to just sell it all to the label and walk away. But that is not in the band's heart to do, they will build the walls again, they set each stone and hammered each nail, they are not giving up and they want to let us all know that... No matter how bad it looks, they will do it again, they are not looking back, it's their heart, their soul.

There's only one way to do it for them, and that is trust, trusting they still have each other, trusting they can do it again. They recorded this album together, all in the same studio, just like when they started (no wonder Jon kept saying this is all about going back to the roots and the beginning).

After listening to it, it made a lot of sense to me why Jon is so freaking excited about this record, the guys seem to be just as excited (judging on the video outtakes). They have work to do, and they are on it already!

I really liked the song, nothing new in the sound/production, etc... but to me theres a lot more heart and anxiety in this record coming from them. This is not to say they didn't put heart in previous works, this just seems to be very "special" to them.

Sorry for the long post, hope it made sense xD

Edit: oops, I meant to reply to Matrix15 haha, I'm so new to posting in forums still!
