Single

Singer Stephen Christian discussed the meaning of Godspeed in an interview:

It's about different stories through rock and roll history where drugs played a major downfall or death in the persona's life, such as Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Nico, Moon, Vicious, etc. It's selfish and tiring. I feel that "rock stars" start believing their own hype and begin on an egocentric journey that inevitably ends in destruction.

He also stated in another interview that "Godspeed" was the hardest song of "Cities" to record, stating,

I think 'Godspeed' was the most difficult [song to record] . Not as much lyrically but it got frustrating because we couldn't figure out the chorus to the song. We may have come up with literally like 15 choruses. Or I did, it was just rough and it turned out all right!
