too me this song is about a boy/group who is bullied in school, tormented by everyone laughing at him/them for not being able to do something. he/they tries and tries too fight back but each time he/they fails.
"Highway of emptiness outside the burning world,
Rise again this quest for our salvation,
Running faster, the savage laughter, the daylight fades away,
Nothing left but the life we left behind,
Ever searching the hidden faces, the hatred grows inside,
Broken man and a family left destroyed."
this part describes the bullies and how they torment him/them
"Light years away, empty words between us,
So turn away and say goodbye for the last time tonight,
Still lost within the loneliness a lifetime ago,
Hanging on as we passed through the fields,
These pieces of our lives will lead the long journey home,
And the wounds never heal"
trying not too kill himself/themselves but come close.
(long journey home might be a reference too Last Journey home which is about a man who has Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome)
"So fly for the last time, and the fire burns within,
Silently we stand in a long forgotten wasteland,
Rise through the lost ages, hope they will bring,
Free forever more and the dream will never die."
Holding on to a dream even though he/they are always kicked down.
"Devastation, a lost connection, a beatdown man returns,
So confused and alone for one more time,
Crushed defeated, the fog surrounding, a prisoner trapped inside,
System down feel the veins erupt tonight."
he/they are beat up for the last time and decide too do something about it.
"Time after time, promises of freedom,
We'll leave the past behind and strike for the first time tonight,
Still mystified by lack of cravation they show,
After all of the trials we've been through,
These memories and empty words were all lost in vain,
And the scars never heal."
he/they end up losing the fight and he/they are humiliated for it but try to never forget what they tried doing even though too him/them its hopeless.
the end chorus is about not forgetting what he/they stood up for.
