this song / attitude / philosohy etc make me sad, perhaps there was a fire when you were born, but it constantly hungers for more, and feeding it will get us nothing but burnt.
"We didn't light it but we tried to fight it"
I dunno man I feel like the song might actually agree with you
I always thought the song was the opposite. It says „We didn't start it it was always like this“ and continues to listen events during their lifetime that were not already always in motion.
I always interpreted the song as saying „This is how it's always been and we can't change it is a lazy excuse for not trying to change anything.“
Exactly how I interpreted it the second time listening to it, many, many years ago.
Why are there so many twos though?
I changed em to 3s for you :)
