	no metaphors or hidden meanings here, just damn good vocals, amazing instruments, and some pretty poetic lines. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room for interpretation but I guess admiration will suffice!

	Its got nothing to do with getting back up from a tragedy. Its all about the hardships of life, questioning why we go through so much pain and whats it all for. 'What is it that we're struggling for I don't quite see it anymore Life kicks us in the teeth Yet something makes us crawl Back for more' 'We lose the things we're fighting for We lose the ones we love the ones we most adore Yet go on We go on' The song is asking what makes us crawl back for more.

	I think it's very simply about the troubles of life and how we get knocked down and get back up again. We go through tragedy and sorrow, and either you let it keep you down, or you drive on and learn from it - and keep going. The last lines, "Everything seems so worthwhile, for a moment." are about the NOW, from a spiritual standpoint - our lives and how we measure things - the past, present, future, etc. - are a string of moments. When it's a "worthwhile" moment in time - it always passes... until we come upon the next one, and between the good times, we have the traumas. Death is imminent. The cycle of trauma and joy ends , on this plane, when one's body dies. I think the lyrics speak for themself.
