“Is the enemy inside or out? I doubt
I can afford to figure this out later
So we joust, til one of us is ousted
And revealed as traitor or saviour”
“Hold onto hope,
Hold onto love, and
Never let go.”
This part of the lyrics resonated with me and reminded me of Matthew’s inner conflictions. The song continues to talk about hope which is something I feel Matthew needs to hear at the moment while he’s stuck in this political machine that is making him unhappy (Dark Princess, Part III).
