[edit] Lyric Content and Style

Unlike They're Only Chasing Safety, Define The Great Line was written by both Spencer Chamberlain (vocals) and Aaron Gillepsie (drums). Chamberlain would write the lyrics he would sing, Gillespie would do the same, and sometimes they would trade lyrics with each other. They're Only Chasing Safety was written completely by drummer and singer Aaron Gillespie.

[edit] Trivia

• Track 5, "Sálmarnir", is keyboardist Christopher Dudley's cousin reading Psalm 50:1-6 in Russian. In the background is a live recording of Psalm 50:1-6 in English, repeating verse two a second time after verse three (1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6). This track is a reflection of the band's strong Christian beliefs.^[1] The song is produced by Chris Dudley's band, The Roman Carnival of 1510.
