Are we gonna forever

Raising the question of whether the same mistakes will persist indefinitely.

Make the same mistake

-

I wanna know

Expressing a desire for commitment and action, urging others to take a stand for the well-being of others.

Will you take a stand

Will you raise a hand

-

For your brother's sake

-

You talk about the deluge

You talk about centrifuge

You got something to prove

Tell me, whose eyes you gonna use

And I, yeah I

What's it gonna take (What's it gonna take)

And you, yeah you

Gotta another theory

Exploring the idea of seeking refuge in reason to overcome fear and uncertainty about life's purpose.

You want me to hear

-

Taking your refuge in your reason

-

Just to beat the fear

-

That we don't know why we're here

-

Even cold hard facts

Highlighting the transformative nature of facts and challenging the perceived stability of the world.

Have got a way of changing

-

Their stripes in the light of a new day

-

The world we hold so tight and true

-

Turn it on it's head

-

And I, yeah I

Revisiting the question of what it will take, emphasizing the urgency of finding answers.

What's it gonna take (What's it gonna take)

And you, yeah you

Always on the defense

Always on the fence

Tell me, what's it gonna be

And I, yeah I

What's it gonna take (What's it gonna take)
