Musician’s Notes :
The song touches on the culture of war, materialism, and the apathetic tendency to numb ourselves with drugs and alcohol.

Shake Off The Hang Over :
However within all of this doom and gloom commentary, I do assert that there’s still hope for humanity and that one day, we’ll “Shake off the hang over and stand up” shedding these apathetic ways.

Live With Passion :
But until then, we should live free and full. Because our future is uncertain, we need to continue living our present days with purpose and passion.
