Lyrics Meaning In Tragedy

I have traveled so far to find so little meaning in tragedy or tragedy
In the search for 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 do not learn to change
