I see this as a song about The Resistance, whatever form that may take - whether in today's world or in the futuristic dystopian Starset universe. The first verse talks about fairy tales, where all is right with the world, evil is punished, and the good wins. But "fairy tales are not found, they're written in the walls" - that was just a fairy tale. Reality is the opposite: evil wins, the good will be crushed in a "landslide".
The chorus talks about regrouping to defeat this pervasive evil. The Resistance is writing its own stories, or fairy tales - it has begun to rise.
