The first track, “Another Way,” opens with acoustic melodies and non-lyrical “ahhs,” followed by a moment of silence before the high energy drums and guitars come in. The big arrangement and impactful narrative of this track sets the scene for the album that is to follow. Abbott sings about ignoring his fear and negative emotions, especially in the context of seeing an ex and realizing there is no way to reignite that love, regardless of how badly he wants to. He sings “no matter what, I’ll never find another way, another way back to you,” lamenting the permanent loss of this love.
The album closes with the title track, which has a sparser arrangement than most of the songs on the album, featuring only lightly picked acoustic and the vocal for the beginning chunk of the track. Later, the arrangement builds in density as the vocal becomes more impassioned, offering an emotional and triumphant finish to “Buried Treasure Lost Forever.”
