his song is inspired in part by a book called The Self Illusion by Bruce Hood. It is about how we construct our senses of self from the people around us: "I'm not who you think I am... I'm not who I think I am... I'm who I think YOU think I am"... 
Reset Devolve is about unplugging from a relationship when someone sees you as something other than what you wish to see yourself as.
lyrics
You never liked me anyhow. 
you never knew me at all 
and I had fallacies all of my own 
and bitter fantasies I gotta own 
an apple laden with arsenic 
I ate it 
hoping you would be sick 
well I'm burning the orchard 
and all the poison in it 
I was taking too much of myself from you 
in the reflection I see 
of what you think of me... 

I'm looking away 
alone by a tree 
I'll wait till all that's left of me 
is where I am not where I've been 
and back to emptiness reset 
reset, reset, reset 

You see me like I'm a shadow puppet 
made up out of the dark, the dark, the dark 
and apparition under your hand 
just an impression of a man 
I was always more 
than what you made of me 
there's a reflection of you 
in the enemies you choose... 

I'm looking away 
alone by a tree 
I'll wait till all that's left of me 
is where I am not where I've been 
and back to emptiness reset 
reset, reset, reset
