Drummer Daniel Furnari explains the meaning behind the song, “At its core, Consume is a reflection on dissatisfaction – a manufactured dissatisfaction that I think is almost universal. Constantly we’re conditioned to want more, convinced that we’re missing something that everyone else around us has and that the answer is right in front of our eyes if we’re willing to pay for it, or work for it, or believe in it.”
He adds, “It’s that “greener on the other side” feeling, an envy that’s been subconsciously built up in all of us to the point that we’ll do anything to relieve it just temporarily. Fuelled by advertising, by social media, and by the false images of contentment that a lot of people around us feel they have to project. It’s not that this contentment doesn’t exist – I feel like it’s out there – but maybe the answers aren’t as simple and tangible as we’ve been led to believe.”
