To me there's many lyrics that say 311 is sorry for the last few albums and now they are back to their roots.
For example :
Boom Shanka:
Now I’m ready to turn the page on yesterdays and forgive them
now I’m willing to disengage to seize the day and move on
The Great divide:
We’re breaking away from the past
reaching a new plane at last
regardless of what cards get played
no one can keep you afraid
I am sorry I’m not sorry
hate me later
something greater
than the petty here and now
Existential Hero: Somehow I fell into it all again, it all again
somehow I fell into it all again, it all makes sense
somehow I fell into it all again, it all make sense
somehow it was here all along
Simple True:
Six long years and seven heartbreaks
broken strings and countless outtakes, why?
never thought that I would follow through
got a working title somewhere
and I know one day I’ll get there, I’m
grasping here
Remember all of the times
when we couldn’t make up our minds
hours and years disappear
These are just a few songs that I connect with.
What are your thoughts ?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices that theme throughout the album. Definitely feels like a turning point for the band.

That's what I get from the album.
Music's what i need to keep my sanity

Re: What's your basic Lyrical theme from Stereolithic?
I've wondered what "Six long years and seven heartbreaks" means. Are you saying that the 6 years is 2005-2011 (DTOM through UP)? What are the 7 heartbreaks?FrixHex311 wrote:To me there's many lyrics that say 311 is sorry for the last few albums and now they are back to their roots.

Everything you do, it comes back to you, whatever it may be
To just know hate, well that's so sad. What a life, strife
There's much power in anger, but love's a bigger banger
It's a waste to be a hater
All the angst shit is just cheesy
Be positive
Take on the Love and the good Karma
Suckas look up to thugs, they like the attitude... the harder they act just to hide their insecurity
The only thing you always try to be is hard, because you're scared that someone might pull your card
I don’t dis people, I dis ideas. And when I say dis I mean disagree
