Текст песни As I Lay Dying - Meaning in Tragedy

i have traveled so far to find so little
meaning in tragedy or tragedy
in the search for the meaning
dark clouds have lead me here

confined freedom
guides us to security
what if everything
i have been taught is a lie and all of my teachers

have been wrong this whole time
compelling us to fight
the battles they would not
they have already won

and we have already lost
if we do not learn from their mistakes
we have already lost
if we don't learn to change
