This is for the kids who have no where to turn
Who have nothing to live for
You think you haven't the will to persist
You have to search within yourself
All the work that you've done in vain
Been overlooked and taken for granted
Only you can end your suffering
You must be honest with yourself
You have nothing left to lose
You feel that everyone's out to get you
Been beaten down but the hate still breathes
Confined by consequences, it's your soul you must release
It's our struggles that define us
And the hardships we endure
Your spirit can't be broken now
You've come too far
All your life
You told yourself you were never alone
All your time
Spent on the problems that have no solution
In your mind
Giving up was never an option
Out of spite
Hold onto the hate that has helped you stay focused
You are one but you're never alone
You can't atone for every promise you've broken
In this moment there's no way you will fail
You must be honest with yourself
Use your pain to achieve your goals
Make amends while you can and stay focused
You can't be burdened by your lack of control
Never stray from the path you have chosen
(It's our struggles)
(All your life)
(This is for the kids)
This spirit can't be broken [x3]
It's who you are
(It's our struggles)
Forever
Forever
Forever convicted [Repeat: x2]

You have nothing left to lose

this song to me is the truest statement of punk rock. most kids involved in hardcore/punk/metal have very negative perceptions of the world around them and will quite often latch onto that hate of what is around them and use it to try to change those things they hate. unfortunately as is the case quite often after what feels so long of trying, and seeing that sometimes there are things that can't be changed some will lose hope and sight of what the point of it all is and will get tremendously depressed, apathetic, and in some cases nihilism will take over. hatebreed is saying that you must look in yourself to see that while you can't change the world, you can still change yourself and remove yourself from that which you hate; so don't give up that hate, just because you can't change the world doesn't mean you have to accept it and conform. the best part though is the message that never believe it's just you against the world, you are in fact one of a group of people who continue to fight the good fight.
