Thanks @Shhhitsadeafkid for really portaying your perspective of the lyrics!
I'd like to say that I think "Tombstones serve as mirrors and the graves are infinite. Take a look through the lens and through your eyes" may mean that there are many out there who are spiritually dead or nonbelievers, and they look at the grave and see themselves, and there so many out there like that. And we need to see what those people see, we need to see their perspective on life, as well as our own so that we can have a better understanding of the reasons why they see themselves in that grave.
I see "end the partitioning" to perhaps mean that we need to not partition those views, to seperate them. kind of like segregating the non believers or dead in faith. And we need to bring them in and draw them close to us. To be there for those people. As a single line, personally I take "end the partitioning" to mean stop partioning God out of your life! Take him with you in everything you do, even though what you are doing may seem insignificant to include God in, Like brushing your teeth, or fixing you car, or writing on songmeanings.net (haha). End the partitioning and stop including him in some things and not others, because we need him in our whole life. Basically, Dont seperate God and all aspects of your life. If you have ever partitioned a harddrive, partioning like comnpletely serparates the hard drive into sections.
"Fight life with life" is my favorite! I'm really hoping to get this tattood on my chest I think. Anyway, to me it means that we need to fight this life of this world, the things that have to do with this world, with the life that God has given us. the true spirit filled life. Fight this life with the life given to you by the spirit. I love it. I think the first life could be "defined" really as "death" in bible terms. Like spiritual death, but the whole aspect of spiritual death in earthly indulgent life. So you fight that worldly life with awesome God given life.
That's my take on it. I'm especially confident about the "fight life with life" explanation, but really these dudes leave it open for us to decide what the songs means to each person individually. they just kind of give us a lyrical guide, if you will, and we can interpret for ourselves.
