According to multiple sources, vocalist Bryan Garris has explained that this song is about a friend of his that got kicked out of a fraternity because of his sexual orientation. When performed live, he dedicates the song to the LGBTQ+ community.
One by one
Rooted from a place of intolerance
I won't cater to a coward
That hides behind a fraternity
Just so he can feel empowered
Institutions supporting murder
No, I won't support it
But the pressure
I feel the pressure to be like you
Forced into a life of repentance
Searching out for a cure
Made to believe that acceptance
Is all that we're looking for
Is what we need
Oblivion's peak
But in the end
When it's your turn to be judged
You'll get what you fucking deserve
You son of a bitch
One by one
(Yea!)
One by one
Oblivion's peak
