"Life Moves On..." is an alternative rock coming of age anthem that serves as an establishment of setting to the narrative continuation of the previous album, "Meet Your Antagonist."
The song introduces the listener back into the world six years succeeding the end of the last album, which ended on the suicide attempt of the narrator, who's referred to as the "Antagonist."
A downtempo syncopated guitar progression unfolds a nostalgic, yet bitter glance back into high school that then jolts alive with a cathartic awakening in its explosive chorus, invoking struggles with the trauma from the events of "Meet Your Antagonist."
