In an interview with Alternative Press, vocalist Austin Carlile said:

There is no spelling typo here; Ben is my cat that I considered my child, and Alan [Ashby] considered his godson. This is one of the songs that Alan and I actually had completed before we joined Of Mice & Men when working on my new project. The overcast of the entire track could be defined by the lyrics, “I don’t really think that you’ve ever walked a mile in my shoes. I don’t really think that you know what I’ve been through.” It’s simply talking to every single person that has ever opened their mouth about things they have no idea about. It’s laughing at the fact that people talk and talk and talk, when all in all, what they are saying compares nothing to the actual truth. You don’t live someone else’s life; you have no right to judge them; you are not better than them; you have no idea what that person has experienced or the facts behind the stories that are told. It’s simple: You have no idea what some people have been through, [so] live your own life instead of wasting it on assuming things about other people’s [lives]. Less talking, more enjoying, more living."
