Lyrics

You take what you want

You confidently take whatever you desire.

Its more than you need

Your desires exceed your actual needs.

You’re spitting up glitter

You display extravagance or opulence, perhaps superficially attractive but lacking substance.

You’re drowning in greed

Your excessive craving for more is causing your downfall.

You say all the right things

You articulate words that seem appropriate, but they are deceptive or insincere.

Its all fucking wrong

Your actions contradict your spoken words, leading to a sense of falsehood.

You run from the back door

You escape through an exit without facing consequences and continue forward.

And keep moving on

You persist in your journey without reflection or remorse.


After all we’ve been through

Despite shared experiences, a realization prompts a necessary decision.

Now I know what I must do

The speaker recognizes a need for a decisive action based on their experiences.


I’m an army of one

The speaker identifies as an individual standing alone, prepared for a personal battle.

Marching to the setting sun

Moving forward with determination, heading towards the end of a phase or situation.

I’m an army of one

Reiteration of being an individual prepared for a personal struggle.

And the fight is over before its begun

The conflict is resolved quickly or prematurely.


You’ve taken a bite

You've embraced and internalized a fearful mindset.

Of the fear that you feed

You've accepted and propagated the fear that surrounds you.

The taste is so bitter

The experience of fear is unpleasant and leaves a lasting negative impression.

You’ve poisoned the seed

Your actions have tainted the potential for growth or positive outcomes.

You march to the left

You move both left and right, but your actions are regressive.

You march to the right

Your choices contribute to a backward march or regression.

You’re marching us backward

You're leading others into a negative or challenging situation.

Into the night

The consequences of your actions are becoming evident in the darkness.


After all we’ve been through

Similar to line 10, a deeper understanding leads to a recognition of necessary actions.

Now I know what I must do

The speaker is more certain about the required course of action.


I’m an army of one

Reiteration of being an individual prepared for a personal struggle.

Marching to the setting sun

Moving forward with determination towards the end of a phase or situation.

I’m an army of one

Reiteration of being an individual prepared for a personal struggle.

This fight is over before its begun

The conflict is resolved quickly or prematurely.


After all we’ve been through

A sense of forgetting past knowledge or experiences.

I forget what I once knew

The speaker is ready to discover or embrace something genuine and true.

Its time for us to find something true

A collective decision to seek authenticity and truth.

Now I know what i must do

A reaffirmation of the speaker's understanding and commitment to a necessary course of action.


I’m an army of one

Reiteration of being an individual prepared for a personal struggle.

Marching to the setting sun

Moving forward with determination towards the end of a phase or situation.

I’m an army of one

Reiteration of being an individual prepared for a personal struggle.

And the fight is over before its begun

The conflict is resolved quickly or prematurely.

I’m an army of one

Reiteration of being an individual prepared for a personal struggle.

I’m an army of one

Repetition of identifying as a self-sufficient and determined individual.
