‘Pulse’ serves as a sonic vessel to highlight the trials and triumphs of everyday life, accentuated by the constant variable of a beating pulse that is always the sole provider of all those outcomes. There are many peaks and valleys throughout the track, represented by its various shifts in dynamic, tone and melody. However, much like life, the track eventually finds itself in a state of nostalgic, emphatic triumph at the end of all those experiences, with a soft, reprised outro that alludes to the foundations of the song.
