I think this song is about staying true to your convictions, especially when they are challenged, and if you don't, there is not much meaning in your life.
In the first two stanzas the opening lines relate to a coming storm and we can see the writers reaction to the storm in that:
If what you believe in "isn't dreamed enough to be true" it doesn't matter which side you are on.
If you don't take sides, "no one wins but the thieves".
In the third stanza the storm is over and one can see with more clarity ("When the sun comes back
As we all can plainly see") that the only way to be free........is by taking a sides.
As a musical note, is there any other guitarist out there who can play with such agility and quickness, and come off emotional rather than technical and cold?? Yeah Nels! I can't wait to see them again!
