  General Comment:Per aspera ad astra or Ad astra per aspera is a Latin phrase which means "Through hardships to the stars" or "To the stars through difficulties".
  
  Take that for what you want but i'm pretty sure it sums up the whole meaning of the song.

  General Comment:i'm in shambles
  blown to bits by our troubles
  these brambles
  our stumblings our struggles
  
  aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!
  
  it's a forced march
  and i'm parched in denial
  it's a struggle
  of faith and of fire
  
  aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!
  
  walking we are caught, by tiny hooks that hold our hope
  our skin may be scratched, but nothing holds us back
  i will be brave, my body may change
  but my spirit will stay, i will be brave
  
  aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!
  
  i'm in shambles
  blown to bits by our troubles
  these brambles
  our stumblings our struggles
  
  aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!
  thorns! over thorns! through this trouble, we are born!
