This song is about that last desperate moment when you realize all the diligent activism you've gone through has resulted in so very little. Politics is an incredibly ugly world, the quintessential cultural biproduct of humanity's biggest flaws. The ideals we hold to make the world get better, will probably never be accepted or understood to be effective, and in the end all we can do is comfort each other. It also encapsulates the disillusion of idealistic, graduating college students upon entering the real world, with the intent of changing it.
