War
Eternal Echoes: A Poignant Reflection on Life's Battles
Lyrics
I barely knew you
The speaker had limited familiarity with the person being addressed.
I couldn't put a face to the name
The speaker couldn't recognize the person by their name or appearance.
But still somehow
Despite the lack of direct acquaintance, there was some collective understanding or knowledge about the person.
We all got to know you in a way
People collectively gained insights about the addressed person through the emotional experiences shared by friends.
Through the tears of our friends
Insights about the addressed person were derived from observing the emotional reactions of friends, possibly involving sorrow.
Some angry, some sad
Emotions expressed by different individuals varied, encompassing anger and sadness.
Even the teachers cried in the hallway
The intensity of the situation was such that even authority figures, like teachers, were moved to tears in public spaces.
It's not an easy thing to live in lies
Living a life based on falsehoods is challenging and difficult.
But it's even harder to see others suffer
Observing others endure pain is even more agonizing.
A battle between life and death
A metaphorical conflict is described, suggesting a struggle between survival and demise.
A war between good and bad
The lyrics depict a figurative battle between moral rightness and wrongdoing.
Is it worth it to live
Questioning the value and meaning of life.
Oh yes it is
A confirmation that life is indeed worth living despite its challenges.
But even if you make the wrong choice
Even if a person makes a mistaken decision, life continues regardless.
Life goes on
An assertion that life persists despite individual choices or consequences.
And God is good
An affirmation of the goodness of a higher power, likely referring to God.
And the earth keeps spinning
Life's natural processes, like the Earth's rotation, persist despite personal turmoil.
The sun keeps shining
Indication that the sun continues to shine despite personal struggles or tragedies.
The moon keeps glowing
The moon's glow persists despite individual suffering or loss.
And we live on for you
A commitment to continue living on behalf of the addressed person.
We live on for you
Reiteration of the determination to continue living for the person being addressed.
We live on for you
Continued resolve to live in honor or memory of the person.
We live on for you
Commitment to persevere in living for the addressed person's sake.
