Lyrics
Don't get caught in-between
Caution against being stuck in a middle ground
There is nothing but either or
Choices are binary; it's either one thing or another
Don't give up, don't agree
Encouragement not to give up or easily conform
To make sense is to make war
Suggesting that making sense often leads to conflict
Everything is what it seems
Appearances are accurate; things are as they seem
If you don't run you'll never move
Motivation to keep moving forward
The air will choke the insincere
Inauthenticity will be stifled or suffocated
Don't waste your breath just asking why
Discouragement from questioning without purpose
If you want nothing, then nothing wants you back
If you desire nothing, you may receive nothing in return
If you want nothing, then nothing wants you back
Reiteration of the idea that wanting nothing has consequences
Never say that we lost, we just haven't won yet
Optimistic view that losing is temporary; victory is yet to come
Life is life, death is death
Clear distinction between life and death
I'm too young to compromise
Assertion of resistance to compromising at a young age
There will be no retreat
No surrender; commitment to facing challenges
That's a land we'll never see
A place or state that will remain unattainable
Arm your love, if nothing else
Encouragement to arm oneself with love, even if it seems futile
They'll break your heart anyhow
Despite efforts, heartbreak is inevitable
The air will choke the insincere
Reiteration that insincerity will be stifled by the environment
Everybody will know why
A promise that everyone will understand the reasons
If you want nothing, then nothing wants you back
Reiteration of the consequences of desiring nothing
If you want nothing, then nothing wants you back
Emphasis on the idea that wanting nothing has repercussions
Never say that we lost, we just haven't won yet
Positive outlook on losses, framing them as temporary setbacks
