I know this isn't what the song is about but it always reminded me of the PJO/HOO/ Rick Riordan's books in general so I'll just break it down.
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
(This refers to how once the demigods know who they are they can't go back to having a normal life)
Even while we sleep
We will find you
(This refers to how the monsters are constantly tracking the demigods)
Acting on your best behaviour
(This refers to the strict rules of the Roman legion and how they are punished if they don't follow them)
Turn your back on mother nature
(This refers to how the demigods fought and defeated Gaea, the Earth Mother)
Everybody wants to rule the world
(The gods, giants, and other forces that are always fighting for control)
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
(The multiple demigods who sided with evil forces and had to sacrifice themselves to set things right)
Help me to decide
(Some demigods are unsure of where to side because they are supposed to side with the gods, who treat them badly or ignore them, while the enemy promises they will be treated better)
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
(The way the demigods try to be happy while they can knowing that eventually they will have to fight more battles)
There's a room where the light won't find you
(This definitely refers to Tartarus)
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
(This refers to Percy and Annabeth and/or Nico and Will, both of whom fell into Tartarus holding hands so they wouldn't be separated)
When they do I'll be right behind you
(This refers to either Percy or Will, who both traveled into Tartarus so their partners wouldn't be alone in it)
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
(The way demigods always think they have won or the danger is gone, but usually end up being killed or attacked again)
Again, this is just what I think of when I hear the lyrics, and I love applying song lyrics to books. Let me know what you think ;)
