I think this song speaks volumes about respect. In regards to the proverbs reference, I think it means something along the lines of keeping your mouth shut isn't always a bad thing. The band isn't telling you to completely shut-up; not even close. I think if you have something to say, especially if it's of importance, then you better have something good to say-- as in, 1. Something Positive; Respectful and not Offensive. And, 2. Something that holds weight. Back up your claims with substantial evidence (Proving you are ignorant).
I think since they have a Christian background, they are directing this at people (both Christians and non-Christians) who speak of the Christian faith. If you got something to say, make sure it holds weight. Don't assume, or be ignorant because once someone finds a loop-hole in your claims, it's game over ("Lie down your guard, and surrender. All that your proving is your ignorance"). You will be called out on it one day and you will look like an idiot (hence bringing upon your own destruction).

IDK. Just my interpretation.
First paragraph correction (Last line): "Proving you are NOT ignorant."
