Discover the story of the song > Red Flag – Billy Talent

The protagonist is saying that we need to let go of what's hurting us and causing pain, and that the red flag that used to represent something important has lost its meaning. He believes that the youth hold the key to the future and that they will show us how to fight and speak up for ourselves. He urges us to cast off the crutch and not be afraid to make mistakes, as the kids of tomorrow don't need today's outdated ways and should not be burdened by the sins of yesterday.
