Lyrics
Standing low with the dirt in your face
Feeling defeated and humbled, faced with difficult circumstances.
Your heart is full of fear
Experiencing intense anxiety and trepidation.
Your head with rage
Overwhelmed by anger and frustration.
You raise your gun but take It down
Initiating an aggressive action but deciding against it.
You run fast, there's no turning around
Committing to a fast-paced escape with no possibility of turning back.
You lose your breath when you hit the ground
Running so fast that it results in breathlessness upon impact.
You fade away and realise
Fading away and coming to a realization.
You're bound to
Being obligated or destined to
Get down to
Submitting or surrendering
If you wanna leave this war
Desiring to escape the war.
No one to
Having no external guidance.
Tell you what to do
Freedom to make personal choices about the conflict.
Or what you fighting for
Questioning the purpose or cause of the fight.
You've had enough, wanna leave this war
Reaching a point of saturation and wanting to end participation in the war.
The memories are breaking
Recollections are deteriorating or causing emotional breakdowns.
Down your door
Struggling with the consequences of memories invading personal space.
You look for the truth but there's no use
Seeking truth but finding it elusive and unhelpful.
The flags on half, you're lowered in the ground
Symbolic representation of mourning or loss in the war.
A speech of honour
A ceremonial expression of respect and admiration.
As the trumpets sounds
An indication of a significant moment with trumpet sounds.
It can't justify your mother's Cry
The sacrifice cannot be justified, leading to intense grief.
You're bound to
Being obligated or destined to
Get down to
Submitting or surrendering
If you wanna leave this war
Desiring to escape the war.
No one to
Having no external guidance.
Tell you what to do
Freedom to make personal choices about the conflict.
Or what you fighting for
Questioning the purpose or cause of the fight.
Every time it's the same old story
Highlighting the repetitive and predictable nature of war stories.
There's only shame and
Emphasizing the absence of honor or distinction in war.
No trace of glory
Regardless of the chosen path, there is no recognition of glory.
Either way you choose you always lose
Indicating a lose-lose situation no matter the decision made.
You're bound to
Being obligated or destined to
Get down to
Submitting or surrendering
If you wanna leave this war
Desiring to escape the war.
No one to
Having no external guidance.
Tell you what to do
Freedom to make personal choices about the conflict.
Or what you fighting for
Questioning the purpose or cause of the fight.
