White Flag Lyrics

So excited for this album. I'm only going to explain what I see in this song, by itself, the first time I hear it, and not in the context of the whole album (someone else can connect it all)

This song is about an escape, about creating a new place away from our pollution-heavy lifestyle

"And I don't want to be left sleeping From all the diseases that I breathe in"

This place is going to be away from the military-industrial complex, away from hierarchy (kings, rulers, presidents) and war. Living the way human animals are meant to, one could argue.

Anyways, next song...
