Vocalist Rachel Rigby comments on the single: “'Cranium' is about grappling with letting emotions lead our actions in a negative way. It’s about learning to grow as a person by wanting to deal with situations that have hurt you in the ‘correct’ way and fighting the feeling that you are doing yourself an injustice by not letting the anger out."
