I think this is the happiest, most positive track this man has made. It's so...uplifting.

I think he kind of phrases it like a declaration, this is how it's going to be. I think it's strange how he mentions war, endurance...like this is a battle to be the best person you can be, fighting to the last man to do your best.

I don't know, I think it's kind of contradictory to say, I'm going to bash my neightbor's head in to be the best person possible, to be defiant till there's no hope, everlasting joy.

VNV Nation usually writes about strife, hardship, corruption and human character. Why is it he chose to dwell on a positive characteristic, with his usual die-hard enthusiasm?

Weird, how he puts conflict into this. At least in my mind. But I've been flamed before for being "wrong".

Sometimes I see this group as a fusion of Phil Collins and Apopygma Berzerk, is that weird?

My Opinion

Well, Ronan kinda looks like Phil sometimes :D
