Unveiling the Battle Within: War Machine by Blackberries
Lyrics
Here we are the war machine is still on
Describing the ongoing presence of the war machine.
Like the beat to an endless song
Comparing the war machine to the persistent beat of an endless song, suggesting its continuity.
We never learn from our own mistakes
Highlighting humanity's failure to learn from past mistakes.
We just wait till it's all too late
Expressing a tendency to wait until problems become severe before addressing them.
The war machine
Reiteration of the presence and impact of the war machine.
Today the sun is burning down slow
Setting the scene with a description of a day where the sun is scorching.
Millions of people with no place to go
Depicting a situation where millions of people have nowhere to go.
They will leave their houses in fright
Anticipating people abandoning their homes out of fear.
In the dark under the pale moonlight
Describing the abandonment occurring in the darkness under the pale moonlight.
The war machine
Reiteration of the presence and impact of the war machine.
The war machine
Repeating the idea of the war machine for emphasis.
The war
Continuing to emphasize the war machine.
A tough time is waiting ahead
Indicating a challenging and perilous time ahead.
On the edge between life and death
Describing a situation where individuals are at the brink of life and death.
Marchin' on 'cause they're driven by fear
Conveying the idea that people are marching forward driven by fear.
Much too tired to even shed a tear
Expressing exhaustion to the point of being unable to shed tears.
The war machine
Reiteration of the presence and impact of the war machine.
The war machine
Repeating the idea of the war machine for emphasis.
The war
Continuing to emphasize the war machine.
