I was listening to the System of a Down Album Toxicity again and the song Deer Dance had this lyric in it, and I had to share.

You can’t be neutral right now, you have to fight back however you can.

Give the album a listen if you haven’t, it’s a banger and is still relevent to this day 24 years after it’s release.

    It’s a metaphor, doesn’t need to make perfect sense. Our train is the world we live in, you’re on it no matter what you do.
