In the song notes of the deluxe edition of the album, Rou summarises the meaning of the song:
Life can often seem like a tumultuous onslaught of ups and downs, of good times and bad; the euphoric and the arduous. Our circumstances can change in a flicker of an eyelid. This song represents the fluct...
[Verse 1]
Can you hear the war-cry?
The adrenaline bursts through the riverbanks
Welcome to the skirmish (I can't feel my legs!)
Give me morphine, give me morphine
Give me more!
[Pre-Chorus]
No doubt
This is a tragedy for all
But it ain't over yet
[Chorus]
Head's up and thank fuck you're still alive
Still air in my lungs, still blood in my veins
We're part of the last garrison
Still alive
Still air in my lungs, still blood in my veins
We're part of the last garrison
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna lie here and soak up the sun
But do not alight here, you cannot outrun
“This could be the end,” he said, “the end, my child”
So I made good use of my face and I smiled
[Verse 2]
Can you hear the war-cry?
The epinephrine ploughs through the barriers
Welcome to the skirmish (I can't feel my arms!)
Give me opium, give me opium
Give me hope!
[Pre-Chorus]
No doubt
This is a tragedy for all
But it ain't over yet
[Chorus]
Head's up and thank fuck you're still alive
Still air in my lungs, still blood in my veins
We're part of the last garrison
Still alive
Still air in my lungs, still blood in my veins
We're part of the last garrison
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna lie here and soak up the sun
But do not alight here, you cannot outrun
“This could be the end,” he said, “the end, my child”
So I made good use of my face and I smiled
[Bridge]
Let’s toast to the fact we got this far
Let’s toast to the fact we got this far
The adrenaline bursts through the riverbanks
Welcome to the skirmish
The epinephrine plows through the barriers
Welcome to the skirmish
The adrenaline bursts through the riverbanks
Welcome to the skirmish
[Chorus]
Head's up and thank fuck you're still alive
Still air in my lungs, still blood in my veins
We're part of the last garrison
Still alive
Still air in my lungs, still blood in my veins
We're part of the last garrison
[Outro]
Head's up and thank fuck you're still alive
Still air in my lungs, still blood in my veins
We're part of the last garrison
You're still alive
Still air in my lungs, still blood in my veins
We're part of the last garrison
Yeah, you're still alive
