I think this song is about the more and more you try to further yourself from hatred and fighting of all kinds, the more it is going to antagonize you, and There’s no way to escape it, because some people just want to start shit.
Jack is saying in the line, “You might think I’m your enemy,
But that don’t make you mine.”
That some people would just prefer to hassle you, and Jack just wants to chill, so he says, “I put hatred to a box then I locked it.
The strongest one I made.
I buried it all grew a tree without thorns,
And I sat beneath its shade.”
He chooses to ignore it and just goes with the flow, not letting the haters get to him. It’s a powerful message about living your life for yourself and nobody else.
