I find this song to be so down to Earth, and it takes an understanding mind to crack the meaning. Not to mention the bass at the beginning awwwyeaaa. BR doesn't always have much bass but this one is nice.
I don't think this song is about politics, I'm pretty sure it's beyond that. I think it's more about a general sense of everyone. The shades of truth he's referring too, I believe is what we all have. Our little bits of information, misinformation, everything we believe and cling to, our shades or truth.
The chorus is a bit difficult, but from what I believe I think I can break it down to this:
Shades of truth. Partisan convention. - Our partisan convention is everything we believe, our biased, our emotions, ideals, what we vote on..
Shades of truth. Between disparate lines. - Blacks whites, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics (yes I quoted that) races, religions, creeds, all of the things that separate us from one another.
Shades of truth. Interpret my intentions. - Our shades of truth are deciding factors in what we do in life. Our intentions can be traced back to what we know, and therefore interpreted as well.
Shades of truth. Lenient conventions. - Our compromises, our reconciliations, the things we do to cope and be understanding and give in to coexist
Just a couple of other things, I think it's cool he mentions so many walking parallel. Referring to the same sense as the song Parallel. And the Stanza about creation and what was God up to, you just can't get more down to Earth than that. And also the, can't we just accept that it will all happen again? History repeats itself, every single day over and over again. How? Everything!
