The Surface marks a significant departure from Beartooth's previous album, Below, which was darker and more introspective. This time around, the band takes a more positive and hopeful approach, reflecting frontman Caleb Shomo's decision to quit drinking and move to Los Angeles.
The album's themes include self-acceptance, overcoming adversity, and finding strength in vulnerability. Shomo's lyrics are raw and honest, dealing with his own struggles with mental health and addiction. However, they are also ultimately uplifting, offering a message of hope and resilience.
