It’s a song about overcoming the obstacles and difficulties that life throws your way, no matter how hard and troublesome that struggle may be.
With an emotional core that’s enough to make a grown man shed a tear, ‘Death Trap’ is an acoustic gem that might juts get you through moments of intense trouble with a helping hand unlike most.
