Cover art for Sweat lyrics by Breach of Trust

This is my favorite Breach of Trust song. I found the Dead Issue EP in a pawn shop and was excited because I love the song Family which I saw on Much Music and Sweat instantly became my fav BOT song.

I think this song is about Aboriginal spirituality. The lines "I'll learn the lessons as they're sent my way. The pain is real but I will suffer for it so I pray" and "Sing a song of celebration to the beings of creation" reflect spiritualism. The theme of the song revolves around nature which is very prominent in Aboriginal spirituality.

I would love to hear an Aboriginal interpretation of this song because they would have an understanding of the symbolism nature has in this song.
