Analysis on Lyrics

Salam all,

Almost 4 days after we finished our final exam for Semester 6. Quite bored ya waiting for this upcoming holidays. Yeeehaaa...Amsterdam-Paris-London-Brussels-Berlin...here we come.

While surfing the net, I listened to this beautiful song by Greenday and try to tackled what lies beneath the lyrics. And, if I'm not mistaken i revealed something.

Early findings - this song dedicated to dying American soldiers in Iraq.

2nd thought - this song only created to risen up the concern of 'why should have war?' in this world.

3rd thought - for all Muslims, I think this song tried to critics the 'cruelty' and inhuman behavior of 'this community - Israel' to invade Palestine

Try to think based on what I've highlighted in this lyric...song from Greenday - 21 Guns.

Allahualam...these are my thoughts...and it is maybe not parallel with yours. Anyway, as American always said...freedom to speak and think..isn't it?

Greenday - 21 Guns (is this our decade now, where the war is like a routine things to do?)

Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home? (tidakkah mereka ni - Yahudi tahu hidup sendiri tanpa perlu keganasan dan merampas hak orang?)
Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone? (bukankah orang Yahudi ni menyembah satu tiang batu?)

When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try ( sejauh mana mereka berusaha - orang2 Muslim tetap tidak memberi peluang untuk mereka mencabuli hak)
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight ( sudah2 lah dengan keganasan - undurlah dan hentikan peperangan)
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I
