though Ronan for sure meant this song to address 'worldly' issues and a false sense of pride, it touches something so much more personal as well.
How often do we make promises we break? How often do we keep up a mask of good will while we don't actually feel that particular way, eventually creating war and destruction, procrastinating the inevitable parting with this or that or him or her.
We hold on to morals and values based on the past, on what was true, but is no more, and henceforth crush lives and beliefs by holding on to what we know instead of growing.
As so many songs by VNV.. it addresses something global as well as personal.
