The first act is about the ways you mess up (Darkest Days, Everything I Touch I Break, How Can I Hold On, and Drugstore). The second act is about being hopefull the person is still around (You Complete Me, Save Yourself, Haunting Me, Torn Apart, and Sometimes It Hurts). The third act is about hitting bottom (Drowning, Desperate Now, and Goodbye). The fourth act is about emerging from darkness and sticking to what you believe in (When I'm Dead, The Thing I Hate, On Your Way Down, and Waking Up Beside You).
