The band's comments
"Selfish song, which is about choices. I have made up my life like I want it to be, but I'm not under anyone's shoe. It urges people, who just repeat they don't know what to do with their lives, to wake up. The sentence 'my victory is your defeat' is borrowed from Killer's (a Finnish band that The Rasmus have worked with) one song."External links
