What's your basic Lyrical theme from Stereolithic?

[FrixHex311]

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 ?

[Smoke]

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.

[GOAT]

That's what I get from the album.

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?
