this song to me is the truest statement of punk rock. most kids involved in hardcore/punk/metal have very negative perceptions of the world around them and will quite often latch onto that hate of what is around them and use it to try to change those things they hate. unfortunately as is the case quite often after what feels so long of trying, and seeing that sometimes there are things that can't be changed some will lose hope and sight of what the point of it all is and will get tremendously depressed, apathetic, and in some cases nihilism will take over. hatebreed is saying that you must look in yourself to see that while you can't change the world, you can still change yourself and remove yourself from that which you hate; so don't give up that hate, just because you can't change the world doesn't mean you have to accept it and conform. the best part though is the message that never believe it's just you against the world, you are in fact one of a group of people who continue to fight the good fight.
another great song on a great album.
