​

"Give It Back" invokes the cruelty and hardship of life in order to admire it's resilience and to encourage perseverance. In order to be motivated to endure hardship it must first be acknowledged, though neither dwelled upon nor ignored. 

 

The songs refrain recognizes that apprehension arises equally from  benevolence and malevolence, decrying "your heart is like an anchor holding on to you", whether you're love sick or heart broken.

 

The lyric video for "Give It Back" uses imagery of the four seasons, a cycle that is terrifying and destructive yet beautiful and revitalizing, as a metaphor for life's trials and tribulations that often facilitate personal development.
