| In addition, I don't think this song is pro-war; they wouldn't quote Howard Zinn if it was. | |

| The true meaning of the song if you haven't noticed is the fact that we got involved in a war. We can't just stop now like the people want us to hence the line "There's still war on page six, America don't die like this." Also, there is two sides, those for, and those against the war hence the line "pick a fucking side". Then "place the blame" in turn means you blame the U.S. for getting in the war or you blame the middle east. There is no neutrality. What brings me to the point that the song is pro-war is the line that says "cause there's nothing worse than bird with wings who doesn't fly." The path of war was inevitable (moving train) and since we had the power to retaliate or act (bird with wings) it would be wrong not to (who doesn't fly). I think my "analysis is fairly accuracte. Use support it helps. AMERICANS UNITE | |

| it's definitely anti war. . .but u get that a lot with some modern rock bands. . .in punk, post hardcore, metal, and screamo. . .it's a strong subject to write about | |

| I believe this song is pro-war because... I believe if you watch the Let it Enfold you DVD that came with the orginal CD, it shows them PRO BUSH...Therefore it's logical to think they are pro-war or at least not against this war. | |

| This song is absolute shit, hopefully this was just a one time thing for them. Now I love Senses Fail, I liked them before everyone even knew about them, but this, what the hell is this, this is not your poetic, melodic, music that Senses Fail are known for and looked up to for. | |

| this song is about, to me at least, about how in theses hostile political times you're forced to choose a side to be on whether you like it or not. no one allows you to be neutral, or just stay out of it, you're either republican or democrat and thats it. the bridge is about and where the song gets its name is about how this war will be end or death of america, and he(buddy) is pleading that america shouldn't do this to itself | |

| I think this song is about how America is dropping bombs and sending in troops weneva they get angry at another country, and Senses Fail is trying to say that we need to bring peace to our world, but we shouldn't give up | |

| The line is about "you can't stay netural on a moving train" is the title of Howard Zinn's autobiography...read some of his work and you'll get a better understanding of this song | |
