Up is a song about extremism. Every thought and idea that set aside common sense and science. It's about the people who, often very subtly, force others into the grasps of their own world view: «Pretenders of Salvation». Up is also about confronting these people. By ignoring the issues, or drive them out of society, we will all fall.
lyrics
right
turn the tide as worlds collide
because now we're one step closer to a blanked out mind
don't let it take you, no
don't let it pull you in
as i as i as i sin
step up, step up
you're free to walk around the earth, as all, since sin's introduction
step up, step up, free falling
stuck on a downwards climb
oh lord you know he died for all of my sins
and now the flames are burning your convictions
you're fighting fire and i can't tell if your mind is gone
pretenders of salvation
what will it take to burn the walls that took control?
when it's dark outside, we all run and hide in fear
all hope is fading and we are stuck on a downwards climb
downwards climb
yeah
you're fighting fire and i can't tell if your mind is gone
pretenders of salvation
what will it take to burn the walls that took control?
step up
step up
step up
step up
