Actually I think that this song is about people sticking together, if you think about the lyrics. "Through our bleeding, we are one" Meaning we all have suffering in our lives, but this brings us together. I think the next part means that we who have suffered, punks and goths, who are AFI's audience prefer the dark, and when the light comes, bringing with it the rest of society and those who would reject us, so we are forced to endure whatever they say or do, until the darkness comes again, and we can be ourselvesfreely and without persecution.
