Lyric discussion by Gadiesss 

Is everybody insane? It's not about the farro brothers.. It's a song written for transformers. Anyone who has seen the movie knows that?

"You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water" About optimus prime and sentinel prime being good buds. (both have been the leaders of the autobots). But optimus turned his back on the autobots and was now with the enemy "the decepticons". And sentinel is good and will not turn his back to the autobots so optimus prime was dead to him, he did not know optimus prime anymore (he wasnt the friend he used to be he is now like "Water")

"We started drowning, not like we'd sink any farther" Optimus prime has made a deal with the decepticons that the autobots didnt know about. The world was in danger. The decepticons wanted to place their world on earth so the humans would be slaves. And optimus and the decepticons were supposed to be the leaders. But everyone thought the autobots would stop it first together with sam.

"But I let my heart go, it's someone down at the bottom" Sam lets his heart and everything go at that moment. He has got to save the world.

"I'll get a new one, and come back for the hope that you've stolen" He will recover his heart. The hope had been stolen by the decepticons. (Everyone thought the world was going to end). But sam and the autobots will get their revenge (come back for the hope).

"I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster and eating us alive" Sam and the autobots will not let the decepticons destroy the world. And make all the humans slaves. They will stop the whole world before the decepticons make it their world and"eat" (Destroy) them alive.

"Don't you ever wonder how we survive?" Everyone was thinking and planning how to survive. The decepticons were about to make everyone their slave and conquer the world. It did not look good for the earth,humans and the autobots.

"Well now that you're gone, the world is ours" The decepticons and humans send the autobots in a rocket that were supposed to kill them. And the decepticons thought they were gone and they could rule the earth/world. (But the autobots came back ofcourse)..

"I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me" It's about sam being human but that doesnt mean hes not devoded to save the world.. (He has the autobots behind him)

"But I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching" It's about optimus thinking he is not the villain. Cause he just wants his world back for the autobots too. He wanted to rule again like he used to. But sentinel and the autobots knew the decepticons and knew they were not to be trusted. The autobots were good friends with humans and just wanted to stay on earth. Where there is no big war for them.

"Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims" It's about how optimus prime and optimus sentinel were friends. But sentinel is good and didnt want the autobots to be the slaves of the decepticons. So he had tot turn his back on optimus prime because optimus prime was now with the enemy (the decepticons) collecting more and more victims by killing the humans.

"And they're getting stronger, I hear them calling" The decepticons getting stronger. They (sam and the autobots) can hear them calling. Or it could be about the autobots and sam getting stronger. Either way..

Chorus again...

"You find your strength in solutions, but I like the tension of not always knowing the answers" Sam slowly found everything out. The whole plan and deal that optimus prime made with the decepticons to take the pillars to make the bridge making their planet upon the earth destroying all humans. They didnt know all the answers at first but they were gonna fight cause sam is brave and "liked"the tension and wanted to be a hero again. Because everyone has forgotten he saved the world already twice.

"You're gonna lose it" Meaning that the decepticons will never win. The good always wins (the autobots).

Ummm the song wasnt written for transformers at all its just that thats how they released it. Therefore it is clearly about the farros because if its about the transformers then explain the video i do like your creative take on it but i dont think its the correct meaning i mean in the video there was a card on the flower that says this isnt the end which is clearly about the band but good job on your... odd take on it lol
