Since this song is also the title of the album, I'll say my opinions about the album on here. I think it's much better than Dissent of Man. A majority of the songs have that real punk-y feel and sound to them, which is all I could ask for. I think Brett said in an interview it was meant to be kind of like a part 2 of No Control. But the thing about having more punk-y sounding songs, is that none of the songs are really going to be instant classics. Most of BR's classic songs deviate from the punk sound, like with LA is Burning and 21st Century Digital Boy. Not that I really care, this album has been the only thing playing in my truck for the past week. Also, I like that Greg actually stretches his voice in this album, in a lot of previous ones he would do little in that sense.
Anyways, about the song. What it's about is finding your moral compass; brushing things aside and doing what it takes to create your own morality, find your own beliefs, and holding to what you believe is right and true. It's about as simple as that. I like that he tells it as a ship setting sail towards true north, as in you living your life to find your moral compass. There are several references in the album to ships setting sail, anyone notice that?

that's awesome, the only album I would compare it to is no control.
