Lyrics
Do you know how far that so many people would go
Questioning awareness of the extreme lengths people go to prove their sanity.
Just to prove that they're not crazy?
Suggesting that actions may be driven by a desire to avoid being considered crazy by others.
What they say is true, and if you disagree
Acknowledging the existence of differing perspectives and the consequences of disagreement.
Then they may come for you, even without proof
Warning that dissent may lead to consequences even without evidence.
So would you die if they told you it was for something greater?
Questioning one's willingness to sacrifice for a perceived greater cause.
Not everybody can be saved
Expressing the limitation of saving everyone.
And if you'd kill for an idea that you claim you're defending
Challenging those who are willing to kill for an idea, suggesting they take it to their grave.
Take it to your grave, take it to your grave
Reiterating the idea of keeping controversial beliefs secret, even in death.
Man, I cannot believe the things you try to pass off and justify
Expressing disbelief in justifications and attempts to pass off questionable actions.
It's like you don't even hold yourself to the standard you set
Criticizing a lack of personal accountability to set standards.
I wish that I could just spell it out, but everyone that does just winds up dead
Desiring to convey a message but fearing the potential deadly consequences of doing so.
So let's just say that "Freedom isn't free, and they'll steal it back to pay the debt"
Suggesting that freedom has a cost and can be taken away to settle debts.
So would you die if they told you it was for something greater?
Repeating the question of sacrificing for a greater cause.
Not everybody can be saved
Reiterating the inability to save everyone.
And if you'd kill for an idea that you claim you're defending
Warning against killing for an idea while claiming to defend it.
Take it to your grave, take it to your grave
Emphasizing the need to keep controversial beliefs secret even in death.
I hope when you die that you finally see
Hoping for a broader understanding of the world upon death.
That this world is so much more than what just you believe
Asserting that the world is more extensive than individual beliefs.
So what if who is right is neither you nor me?
Raising the question of what if neither party is right, advocating for harmony.
Would you still insist on being enemies?
Challenging the persistence of enmity if neither side is definitively right.
So would you die if they told you it was for something greater?
Repeating the question of sacrificing for a greater cause.
Not everybody can be saved
Reiterating the idea that not everyone can be saved.
And if you'd kill for an idea that you claim you're defending
Reinforcing the warning against killing for an idea while claiming to defend it.
Take It To Your Grave
Directly stating to take controversial beliefs to the grave.
And make sure that you keep it there
Emphasizing the importance of keeping such beliefs confidential even in death.
