Re-write these words upon my grave
And look down on everything we've loved
Loose lips sink ships and leaders
For this you need to lead us all.
For every change that you've put down on me
I've re-read this stone a hundred times.
Would you stand over these shadows and embrace our history?
We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing
Take the world away from us but
We apologise for nothing.
If I could gather strength a final time
And dream up a war to end all wars
Race lists and mist of vengeance
I don't fear your movements anymore.
Lets celebrate this change in turning tides
This revolution won't be televised.
Would you stand over these shadows and embrace our history?
We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing
Take the world away from us but
We apologise for nothing.
Cut me out of all of this
Cut me out of all of this you say
Just cut me out of all of this
Cut me out of all of this you say.
Would you stand over these shadows and embrace our history?
We apologise for nothing
Take the world away from us but
We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing.
Floods Lyrics
You can't all pretend
That you don't know enough
Enough to make sense
All this will be gone
And you can sink beneath
The rapture we've spawned
What have we become
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the floods seem still
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the most of this
Blood will bleed the blind
When the only thing diseased their lives
Let not the sun their lives
On the wrath of this inconvenient truth
What have we become
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the floods seem still
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the most of this
Just smile like the idiots you are
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the floods seem still
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the most of this

I've read some of the things you've said about what it could mean and the ones I strongly feel for are the ones about the song being about a form of non apologetic stance towards things done in the past, by whom ever. The ones I stand by in a factual sense are the ones about it being about something to do with the bands former companies and what not. But these things hardly justify such the impact that this song makes. I believe.
Fightstar is a band that sings of worldly affairs, right? They aim to be global. Well, racism and hate against black people, especially in the past, is a global thing, right?
I believe that what Fighstar is saying here, is that and they speak for the entire white race here, is that they "Apologise for nothing". I'm not racist. I love everyone equally. I do.
I've said it before and I totally think I'm wrong about this, but it well, it makes kind of sense, cause you couldn't really apologise for the things your race had done in the past, right? Right?
If else, it makes me fall in love with "white people" even more, if you can stand by what has been done in the past and still live proud and strong today.
this song is great! i love listening to it over and over again. =]
This is a total guess but ~I thnk bits of this song are about immigrants, "would you stand over these shadows and embrace our history" (imperialism, slavery etc) and then "just cut me out of all of this, just cut me out of all of this you said" which could be about deportation and nationalism.
Again, that's a guess. I'm never really sure about fightstar's lyrics.
