Background
The song is about people being too attached to opinions they've formed on limited amounts of information. Guitarist Zoltan Bathory explained: "It's about seemingly irresolvable differences. It's valid in just about any setting: politics, religion, relationships Everything is 'only an opinion' based on limited information, yet people sometimes get attached to their point of views to the extreme in fact, to the point they would launch wars over them."[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=16480 Hard To See Songfacts]
