Majoring in the Minors Lyrics
These windy streets tell of a different time
What got us here won't get us there
It's time for the upright to have insight
Don't forget what's important in life
This place is like a cage that will imprison you
Is comfort only found without adversity?
Anyone, anywhere in history, has confronted these realities
What got us here won't get us there
I'll be there soon that's why I care
Everyone you love will one day fade away
Everything you have will rot and decay
Everything around us will burn
Burn up in the death of the sun
It's in the pain that we see our true selves change
In the sea of difficulty we are defined
When we're blind we will feel our true selves change
In the sea of difficulty we leave our comfort behind
We are found, found in far away places, when all seems lost
We are found, found in far away places, not all is lost
We must be strong and cling onto hope (cling onto hope)
We must be strong, when the ground is shaking out from under our feet
We are found in far away places when all seems lost
We are found in far away places, not all is lost
Stop majoring in the minors
It's when you get inside that it widens
Stay true tempered (stay true tempered)
You're not the first to find life is tough
Circumstantial hope isn't really hope at all
It's just a watered down distraction from what stands in our way
Hope gives us the ability to face reality, the ability to see through it all
What got us here won't get us there
It's time for the upright to have insight
Don't forget what's important in life
This place is like a cage that will imprison you
Is comfort only found without adversity?
Anyone, anywhere in history, has confronted these realities
I'll be there soon that's why I care
Everything you have will rot and decay
Everything around us will burn
Burn up in the death of the sun
In the sea of difficulty we are defined
When we're blind we will feel our true selves change
In the sea of difficulty we leave our comfort behind
We are found, found in far away places, not all is lost
We must be strong, when the ground is shaking out from under our feet
We are found in far away places, not all is lost
It's when you get inside that it widens
Stay true tempered (stay true tempered)
You're not the first to find life is tough
It's just a watered down distraction from what stands in our way
Hope gives us the ability to face reality, the ability to see through it all

The "hillbilly" interlude in this song just tops of this great track!
OMG I'm listening to this album for the first time, in anticipation of their live show tomorrow. OMG this song is amazing! And here's my take on it, lyrically.
I believe ABR is speaking to the generational shift from easy wealth and good jobs to struggle. What got Generation Y here won't get the Millenials there. But guess what, anyone anywhere in history has confronted these realities. In the sea of difficulty we are defined.
Don't fall for the lies society tells us, circumstantial hope isn't really hope. Believe in yourself and fight for what's yours! Through the fires we are strengthened.
