Discover the story of the song > Silver Lining – Mt. Joy

The song tells the story of someone who is offering advice to someone else (referred to as "my brother"). They encourage the person to avoid hard drugs and to focus on the good things in life ("wear your silver lining"). The chorus suggests that, if they do end up struggling with addiction or love that takes everything from them, they should accept it all and focus on telling their loved ones that they love them, teaching others what they know, and holding onto hope and positivity ("take it all," "tell the ones you love you love them"). The song ends with the same verse as the beginning, emphasizing the importance of staying on track and avoiding things that could derail your life.
