Speaking about the track, which follows Ballad Of Black & White, their first new material in two years, vocalist and guitarist Nathan Day said:
"It amazes me how brutally open you can be in songs and not even wince when it gets put out into the world. It's like walking around with a sign on your head telling everyone what you're secretly thinking but never actually saying the words in conversation.
Soon, you're gonna hear 'Beam Me Up'. I wrote this song because I can't afford a therapist. I'm lucky that writing songs is a legitimate coping mechanism cos I don't know what the fuck I'd do if I couldn't get it out. It deffo can't stay in here though. (I'm pointing to my brain)
I wrote it on piano, during a debilitating battle with my body and mind - felt like they were both failing me and literally falling apart before my eyes and I couldn't afford the £ to fix myself. Like a 'broken doll'. That'll make more sense later.
I think no one wants to talk about how they feel cos they're scared people will judge them. Sadly, that's part of the fucking problem. I'm scared too, but this is what that songs about - so fuck it ¯_(?)_/¯
