I had just picked up an eight-string plugin, and it immediately led me to that main idea. As soon as it came together, I knew it had weight.

That\u2019s where the idea of marrow came in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe song is about the part of me that stayed strong through everything I\u2019ve been through.
