Lyric discussion by WiKylePedia 

This song is clearly referencing the Arab Spring.

"The cycle repeated" - rulers rising to power and falling;

"As explosions broke in the sky" - symbolic of the violence that has occurred.

"All that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find" - Possibly meaning a loved one lost, or possibly even referring to hope.

"And you were there at the turn, waiting to let me know" - Someone was there for that person to tell them it would be okay.

"We're building it up to break it back down" - refers to the nature of government.
