Meaning

When asked about the meaning of the song by Stereotruth.net, John Cooper (the lead singer of the band) had the following to say: "Tying in with 'Hero,' here's one about feeling like you're falling under from all the stresses of life. Even though you feel like everyone around you is trying to take your hope away from you, no one has the right to do that and you shouldn't allow those negative influences to weigh you down. Live what you believe and don't be afraid to stand up for your faith."[5]
