Paolo: “I was reading up on this backstory about these Japanese American troops in World War II that had some of the most brutal battles, and meanwhile their family was in America in Japanese internment camps. The federal government rounded them up because they looked like the enemy that they were fighting. And I’m like, ‘This is insane to think about – these guys are literally dying and fighting for a country that’s locked up their families at home.’ The whole thing is, what does it take to prove you’re one of us. And that is powerful to us. If my family was locked up, I wouldn’t fight for the country, and that was really inspiring to read about those stories. But I didn’t think it would be easy to translate that, so we boiled it down further: what would it take for you not to hate someone? Would it take them dying for you, or their family dying, or being locked up? But I think the core of it is how hard it is to change people’s minds when they hate something, or when they hate someone.”
Lyrics:
[Intro] What will it take? What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? [Verse 1] It's easy to be right When everything repeats It's easier to cut us down and point at our defeat It's easy to be right When everything repeats Dig below the surface, find your insecurities [Pre-Chorus] Tell me Maybe you were right Maybe I was wrong But I've been silent for far too long Maybe you were right Maybe I should go But I've been silent for far too long [Chorus] What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? What will it take? What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? (Hate) [Post-Chorus] To rip the heart from your hate (Hate) To rip the heart from your hate [Verse 2] You always walk away Soon, you'll have to face it Your distance from reality Won't bury or erase it I tried to do the same Living so complacent But the problems wouldn't go away So I turned around to face them [Pre-Chorus] Tell me Maybe you were right Maybe I was wrong But I've been silent for far too long Maybe you were right Maybe I should go But I've been silent for far too long [Chorus] What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? What will it take? What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? (Hate) [Pre-Chorus] Maybe you were right Maybe I was wrong But I've been silent for far too long [Chorus] What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? What will it take? What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? What will it take? What will it take To rip the heart from your hate? (Hate) [Post-Chorus] To rip the heart from your hate (Hate) To rip the heart from your hate
