This song is really amazing. The band is great, and the vocalization from Maria is incredible, from the proclaiming and boisterous "We're fighting without a reason" to the verses done in that awesome screaming. Definitely one of the more impressive songs off "The Dream"
For me, this song means something very universal, and that is the idea of people simply being ignorant to things that are different or not what they want them to be, and the want for those things to end.
"We're killing her, we're all in treason." By being obnoxious we're destroying America, and we're making it something that America isn't. America stands for a Country that accepts all walks of man, and by dividing it, we are committing treason. I think that Maria is writing these lyrics to try and plea for people to stop fighting and hating each other and to let the divide present in this country to become mended.
"Why does fear dominate, When all we want is peace, The empires fall, and rise again." The message of peace is many times delivered in a very not peaceful manner. (i.e. war) War causes empires to fall, and then they rise again under a new government's order, thus instilling "peace." But the peace making actually makes everything, well... not peaceful. Blood is being spilt by the hypocrisy of our own actions, both world-wide and right here in America, and this song is crying out, actually screaming for an end to all the vast gaps and spaces that are just filled up with violence and misunderstandings, when really we should just try to understand those things better and simply try to coexist.
