To me, its about how when a side wins a big war, we throw banners, parades. We celebrate that we won a tragic war. But war only benefits the other end most of the time. So we completely shun out the side that lost.
Hence the
"When will the banners and the victory parades
celebrate the day a better world is won?"
Since Ronan lives in a area that was destroyed by war, that definitely correlates to the albums purpose. Just how France, Britain ignored and forced Germany to pay reparations after WW1.
Definitely one of my favorite VNV track in recent times!
