This song to me revolves around the profound question, 'What's reality?" The opening line is a profound synopsis of that query, pointing out that many believe in the reality we prefer to be real, are willing to believe a lie, and even create our own reality in our minds. We don't have the veracity to confront much of what is real, such as why we were engaged in a meaningless war, or don't give recognition to the age-old need for women to control their reproductive capacity. Of course religious faith is questioned, citing people who only act as though they believe. Calling out hypocrisy is an underlying theme throughout the lyrics
