Why Do the Men Stray
Unveiling the Human Paradox: Why Hearts Turn to Stone and Birds Sing Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
Why do the men stray
Questioning the reasons behind men's infidelity.
Why do the women pray
Questioning why women engage in prayer.
Why do the men fight
Pondering the motivations behind men's conflicts.
Why do the women sympathize
Questioning why women show compassion or understanding.
Whoa it was easier before I loved
Reflecting on a time when love didn't complicate life.
Before this heart was turned to stone
Expressing a change in emotional state, becoming emotionally hardened.
Before this blood was stirred and blood was spilled
Referencing a time of emotional turmoil and violence.
No one was ever meant to be alone
Stating the belief that people are not meant to be alone.
Why do the birds sing
Raising questions about the purpose of birdsong.
What do they call that thing
Asking about the meaning of an unspecified thing.
Why do the bombs boom
Questioning the reasons behind explosions, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
We're running out of living room
Expressing concern about limited space or resources.
Our needs getting needier and needier
Describing an increasing sense of neediness.
More lies are told until they're truth
Highlighting the proliferation of falsehoods until they are accepted as truth.
Until the messages are massacred
Describing the distortion or destruction of messages.
Old men get all their killing done with youth
Suggesting that older generations manipulate the young for their purposes.
Why do the men stray
Reiterating the question about men's unfaithfulness.
Why do the women pray
Repeating the inquiry into the role of women's prayers.
Why do the men fight
Repeating the questioning of men's aggression or conflict.
Why do the women sympathize
Repeating the inquiry into women's empathy or understanding.
All these wooden houses
Metaphorically describing houses as flammable and prone to destruction.
Light themselves on fire in turn
Continuing the metaphor of destruction, suggesting self-destructive behavior.
Oh but someday there will be nothing left to burn
Anticipating a future where there is nothing left to destroy or consume.
Oh someday there will be nothing left to burn
Reiterating the idea that eventually, everything will be exhausted.
Whoa
Exclaiming a sense of realization or emotion.
Whoa
Repeating the exclamation, emphasizing the emotion or realization.
Someday someday someday someday
Repeating the concept of an anticipated future where everything is depleted.
