Reason Is Treason

This is a bit of a stretch, but I believe this song is about a guy who has to leave his girl to pursue political initiatives...anti-war protesting seems to be the reason, which is treated like treason in most countries, whether they preach freedom of expression, speech, assembly, etc or not. "Crossing the rubicon" is an expression that refers to reaching the point of no return, as Julius Caesar had broken the law(treason?) at this point and had no choice but to go all out and expand the empire. Legend has it that Caesar was very skeptical about the decision for teh days leading up to the crossing as well....this is echoed by the man having to decide between the chick and the resistence when he says "Check the angles from both forces, overcome by the need to fight it" and "the chains of dirt passed on to me" could refer to the burden of knowing that there is a better way than war and having no choice but to pursue a life of resistence. Verdict: Sick Track.
