Death Blossoms Lyrics

Cover art for Death Blossoms lyrics by Rise Against

Starting with the "We eat our own to stay alive", I think that means at the expense of our children we're bettering ourselves at the current moment and ruining the future for them. Such as global warming/ruining the earth etc. I kind of gathered that from the part where it says the image of the world reflects inside the child's eye, but I suppose it could also be taken in other ways such as knocking other people down to help ourselves, or even more literally eating other living beings (animals) for food. Also has to deal with the poor state of society because mostly everyone is all about themselves (Society vice queens).

Your generally on the right track of the older taking from the younger, but I have to disagree that this song is exactly about what you have said. I beleive its more about how the innocence of children are taken by those who only want money. More info below.
