Actually, I don't necessarily understand the lyrics as an all-positive outlook on humanity. Already the song title gives suggests that to me. And turmoil and carnage probably aren't something many of us want.
The song also mentions muddy graves, morbid trenches and "grinding the skeptics into the soil". Plus there is the line "Forgive this tribe" which, at least the way I understand it, refers to the human race. The high-energy beat is also kind of aggressive.
Anyway, this is a great song, and if the rest of Volta is even anywhere near as good, it may well be the best album coming out this year.
