This song has a very easily stated but strong meaning. Right off the bat you are hit with a great mental picture.

"Set me off like dynamite strapped tight around my waist
We are the ones in competition but claim this ain't no race?"
---Our only means of change is violence. Dead people is not a solution to a deeper problem. We claim that our violence and waging of war are all in the pursuit of peace. Peace and violence can not coexist, period.

"We've been battered so hard that
We don't feel anymore"
---We are deaf and blind to the problem because it is happening everywhere.

"Take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young"
---The writer's desire to disconnect from the violence in our world is immense. I love these lines. It's a good hard slap in the face to wake up. Peace and violence can not coexist, period.
