If you think the lyrics are a bit weak or disjointed, have you thought of the chorus like this..

'Dont be afraid to fight
Love is the sweet surprise'

It could sound like two contradictory sentences, hence platitudinal tripe, but as soon as you grab the metaphor of 'fight for love and peace', and how Lindsey is grappling with the paradox that there must be wars for peace etc, it becomes not two disjointed thoughts but a single idea.

Once I thought of it like that it all made sense. Hope it helps!
