I think the song is about a very specific type of political revolution. One that starts out as a grassroots movement and spreads amongst the masses. Following this, instead of following the ideals of the revolution, the leaders begin to fight over power. And eventually, the main goals of the revolutions are purely the satisfaction of personal satisfaction at all costs. At this stage of the revolution, it will be obvious who is with and who is without honor. Those with honor will leave for better things and those without will charge onwards towards bloody conflict. The main leaders of the revolution will raise armies against each other. The members of these armies, although knowing that what they're fighting for is wrong will continue to do so. At the end of the day, it doesn't who will emerge as victor as both will lead a world just as corrupt and selfish as the one they sought to end. Personally, this reminds me a LOT of the French Revolution. With Jacobins and Girondists going at each other with little care for the population. In the end, bloody mess caused by the Committee of Public Safety in the Reign of Terror was almost as bad, if not worse, than the things that the House of Bourbon did. That's just my 2 cents. |
