Half-Truism Lyrics

Cover art for Half-Truism lyrics by Offspring, The

I'd like to say its about people bringing other people down. The lyric,

"One is for envy and one just for spite, the cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes"

I believe is saying you cut me down because you want to be like me but your not and you cant deal with it. This is backed by the lyrics,

"The banner you're waving is burning and red It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead You against the world Diamonds and pearls, voices inside you churn Watch the city burn"

I think those lyrics are talking about something your passionate about, something so strong it stirs within you. "Watch the city burn" is a tricky one though. Maybe it burns because their ignorance consumes them. Any comments on that?
