This song is about their anti-war sentiment and how they cannot believe the reality they are living in. They talk about wars and how they are used to profit a small group at the top. They make references to recent military actions taken such as the Afghanistan War and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflic...
[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds]
Previous wars made billionaires out of millionaires
Today's wars make trillionaires out of billionaires
Tomorrow's wars will fuel generations of hate
Generations of hate
I'm losing my grip on reality
I cannot simply agree that we are civilised
Acting like this earth is infinite
It's a chess board of lies that will generate stalemate
It will generate stalemate
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
So yes, I've gone to the hills again
So yes, I've gone away
[Verse 2: Rou Reynolds]
Money is made when bombs are dropping in Afghanistan
When white phosphorous falls in Palestine
Whoring weapons at a record pace
Arming anyone who wants a taste of disgrace
Wants a taste of disgrace
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
So yes, I've gone to the hills again
So yes, I've gone away
So yes, I've gone to the hills again
So yes, I've gone away
[Bridge: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]
Oh, so I've drifted away
I've drifted away in disbelief
I've drifted, I've drifted
I've drifted away in disbelief
So yes, I've
Yes, I've gone to the hills again
Oh, so I've drifted away (And I'll live out this fantasy)
(And I'll live out this fantasy)
I've drifted away in disbelief (I'll live this fantasy)
(I'll live this fantasy)
I've drifted, I've drifted (I'll live out this fantasy)
(And I'll live out this fantasy)
I've drifted away in disbelief (I'll live this fantasy)
(I'll live this fantasy)
So yes, I've (I'll live out this fantasy)
(And I'll live out this fantasy)
Yes, I've gone to the hills again (I'll live this fantasy)
(I'll live this fantasy)
Yes, I've (I'll live out this fantasy)
(And I'll live out this fantasy)
Yes, I've gone to the hills again (I'll live this fantasy)
(I'll live this fantasy)
[Outro: Rou Reynolds]
And I'll live out this fantasy
And I'll live out this fantasy
I'll live this fantasy
I'll live this fan...
And I'll live out this fantasy
And I'll live out this fantasy
I'll live this fantasy
I'll live this fan...
And I'll live out this fantasy
And I'll live out this fantasy
I'll live this fantasy
I'll live this fantasy

In a track by track interview for Alternative Press Rou Reynolds describes the song as:
It’s one of the softer tracks on the album, and it gives me a chance to tinkle on a guitar which I do enjoy from time to time. It’s got some of our juiciest vocal harmonies to date too, which we laid down in the...
