Discover the story of the song > The Courage Or The Fall – Civil Twilight

The lyrics suggest that humans shouldn't be alone, but the protagonist has enemies who haunt him even when he closes his eyes. He wonders if he is the man or the person hiding behind a mask, and if he needs courage before facing a downfall or does the downfall give him courage. There is a mention of a potential savior outside the window, but the protagonist is unsure if it's actually a reflection of himself.
