Discover the story of the song > Grounds – Idles

The protagonist is saying that he won't stare at the sun, won't run away, won't pray, and won't believe in a kingdom that is said to come. He smells the blood of people who have been killed and not taught in school. He says he will do what he loves and says that people shouldn't write aggressive things on walls or judge others by their race. He encourages everyone to unite because there is strength in numbers.
