Song is about individual thought. "My best theory is already in me" My best ideas come from my own head, not told to me by someone else. |

This song really isn't very political. It's not anti-government or rebellious, just showing that to succeed as a society at any scale we need to work with one another. |

A good message, but this song was written before the Flobots were even a professional band. Jonny 5 (the rapper of the song) was working at a sushi bar at the time he wrote the lyrics. |

The music video isn't the direct meaning of the song, it is completely metaphorical. The two characters and the path they go on represent humanity's ability to be proactive or destructive. This is been directly stated as the inspiration by the lyricist and performer of the song, Jonny 5, numerous times. |

| Citizen Cope – Bullet And A Target Lyrics

IMO it's about taking responsibility for your actions and not blaming others for things you've caused. This ties into self-destruction and people ruining their own lives. I think it also speaks to the people around them as well. "It won't be long before you're pulling yourself away" Someone sees another person in a bad situation and does nothing to help them, thinking they'll fix it themselves. That's also the message of the second verse, where the narrator sees a woman in an abusive marriage but doesn't do anything to stop it, and she eventually is killed/disappears. |

Not taking anything away from Hayley's performance, but it should be noted that she wasn't the writer of her part. |

| Flobots – White Flag Warrior (feat. Tim McIlrath) Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
|
This song is about opposition to war. Speaking out against war and violence shouldn't be considered treason against your country, but love for the value of life. The opening verse that is repeated throughout is someone trying to talk to the government to stop the war. The "rather make our children martyrs than murderers" is trying to say that dying for a purpose is always better than killing innocent people. And the "white flag warrior" lyric promotes the thought that people should always turn to peaceful resolution to a problem rather than killing each other. |
