The song\u2019s dynamic music arc spans clean-textured guitar and atmospheric musicality, explosive drums, layers of airy harmony vocals, jagged art-rock guitar motifs, and serene sing-along passages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song uses branches as a metaphor for relationships. For Marina Paiz, the band\u2019s lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, it\u2019s a coming of age theme as she chose to pursue music while many of her friends ventured off to school or onto more well-trodden life paths.<em> \u201cI don\u2019t have a Plan B. I\u2019m the one still here; I\u2019m the only one in a band,\u201d<\/em> she says. \u201c<em>So, this song is about letting go, and just feeling sadness during a time when relationships and friendships feel distant.
