Both Sides of the Gun
Navigating Life's Crossfire: Both Sides of the Gun Meaning
Lyrics
Living these days is making me nervous
Living these days is causing anxiety and unease.
Archaic doctrine no longer serve us
Outdated beliefs and principles no longer benefit us.
Now we're left as silent witnesses
Now we are observers of events without fully understanding them.
We don't know quite what this is
We are uncertain about the nature of the situation.
Other than a war that can't be won
Refers to a conflict or struggle that cannot be successfully resolved.
I feel like I'm crowded, I can't get out
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to escape from a crowded or stressful situation.
World keeps on filling me up with doubt
The world continues to fill the speaker with uncertainty.
When you're trapped you got no voice
When trapped, one lacks the ability to express themselves.
Where you're born you got no choice
Your place of birth limits your options and choices.
Other than to go and take you some
Given limited choices, one may resort to taking what they can.
One dimensional fool
Describing oneself as lacking depth or understanding.
In a three dimensional world
Feeling out of place in a complex, multifaceted world.
Politics, it's a drag
Expressing dissatisfaction with the political landscape.
They put one foot in the grave
Politicians are contributing to their own demise.
And the other on the flag
Commenting on the connection between political actions and the nation's symbol.
Systems rotten to the core
The entire system is corrupt at its core.
Young and old deserve much more
People of all ages deserve better than a life of constant struggle.
Than struggling every day until you're done
Life shouldn't be about daily struggles until death.
Tension
Highlighting a feeling of stress or pressure.
Too much to mention
There are too many issues and problems to address adequately.
Living on both sides of the gun
Experiencing challenges and difficulties from different perspectives.
