This song is saying like everything you do, it always backfires because people are always there throwing it back in your face -"I found a mountain on my own, trust history to say it's unknown" and it is discouraging to realise that nothing you do is ever good enough for them. We constantly change ourselves to suit their ideals but eventually you are going to realise you can never be who they want. It breaks your confidence down and through saying "put your trust in courage" he is just saying to beleive in yourself, you have the strength to stand up for what you are and to be yourself. You don't have to constantly try and please other people. I think this song is quite hedonistic-you should pursue pleasure and tell everyone else to go fuck themselves. Anyone wants to talk about Idlewild and other kickass bands then feel free to e-mail me :-)
