Easily
Let's get carried away
Easily
Let's get married today

Shao Lin shouted a rose from his throat
Everything must go
A licking stick is thicker when you break it to show
Everything must go

The story of a woman on the morning of a war
Remind me, if you will, exactly what we're fighting for
Calling and calling for something in the air
Calling and calling, I know you must be there

Easily
Let's get caught in a wave
Easily
We won't get caught in a cage

Shao Lin shakin' for the sake of his soul
Everything must go
Lookin' mighty tired of all the things that you own
Everything must go

I can't tell you who to idolize
You think it's almost over but it's only on the rise
Calling and calling for something in the air
Calling and calling, I know you must be there
The story of a woman on the morning of a war
Remind me, if you will, exactly what we're fighting for
Throw me to the wolves because there's order in the pack
Throw me to the sky because I know I'm coming back

Shao Lin shakin' for the sake of his soul
Everything must go
Lookin' mighty tired of all the things that you own
Everything must go

The story of a woman on the morning of a war
Remind me, if you will, exactly what we're fighting for
Calling and calling for something in the air
Calling and calling, I know you must be there
I don't wanna be your little research monkey boy
The creature that I am is only going to destroy
Throw me to the wolves because there's order in the pack
Throw me to the sky because I know I'm coming back

    It's not about an actual war. It's about the fight between your sense of self and the harmony of the universe. He's practically begging to be thrown away from his ego and destroyed, to get rid of all the materialism that surrounds him and get "thrown to the wolves" and join the order of nature.

    The woman on the morning of a war is a metaphor for our intuition and spirituality, which got left behind while we all fought to make something our own. He wants to be reminded why we all take part in this consumer-driven culture when we're tired of materialism. Why do we fight for our egoes if the rewards don't make us happy? How can conflict with the world possibly bring about inner peace?

    Almost everything in this song involves destroying singularity in order to be a part of the shared identity of all existance ("let's get carried away," "let's get married today," "throw me to the wolves," "throw me to the sky").
