When the walls fall around you is when you begin to find
That the depths you have found have become now too hard to climb
You reconcile your pain in the loneliest refrain
And crawl tied and bound to the one thing you can't leave behind
You can't leave behind, you can't leave behind

And start over again this insurrection
The same reflection, perpetual
And start over again and again and again and again
This insurrection

A broken voice without a word to live by
Eyes slammed shut watch the world go by
It should have been way better than this
You can't anticipate the things that you miss
And how long 'til you let it go
Master unreality nothing to show and in the end
Top of the mountain of nowhere
First in the line dying to get back there
You can't get back there
You can't get back there

And start over again this insurrection
The same reflection, perpetual
And start over again and again and again and again
This insurrection
And start over again

First in the line to catch a glimpse of the shrine
The closest we ever got to divine
Irrefutable indisputable infallible impossible to deny
Impossible to deny

And start over again
This insurrection
The same reflection, perpetual
We start over again, and again and again
This insurrection
We start over again

    My Interpretation

    Thought about it a little and I think what I just wrote is bullshit. The "depths you have found" which have "become hard to climb" are probably referring to addiction or something. If we analyze it from this point of view, the song is about being addicted to some shit (maybe drugs) and realizing how hard it is to recover from that (the depths have become hard to climb). Then the term "insurrection" must represent the struggle against the addiction and everything.

    But I think that we can also see this song from a political point of view. I don't really have a clue about what it would mean in that case, but I think it may be about letting yourself overwhelmed by a political system ("Eyes slammed shut watch the world go by"), and finally realize your mistake and try to correct it. In this case, "insurrection" may represent the rebellion against this system.

    Also, "And start over again this insurrection The same reflection, perpetual And start over again and again and again and again". this goes in favor of the previous interpretation, as revolutions are cyclic in history.

    But so many things in the lyrics aren't linked to any of the to explanations above, that's why I think that what I wrote probably isn't the correct interpretation of the lyrics, meaning that its not what LOG was meaning when they wrote it. So my meaning isn't probably the right meaning but what I mean is that the meanings I just cited are valid meanings and that even if they aren't the true meanings, they represent (from an absolute point of view) valid meanings for the analyzed lyrics.

    That's it. Fuck you.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
