Do you choose to speak or do you just stay quiet?
Asking if the listener chooses to communicate or remains silent.
While you've been living in a dream I've been living in the daytime
Highlighting a contrast between the dreamlike state of others and the speaker's reality in the daytime.
Good people of the street we will rise up to fight
Calling on people in the street to unite and resist, emphasizing the need for collective action.
In disbelief, don't retreat, remember this affects your life
Encouraging resilience in the face of disbelief, urging not to retreat as it impacts one's life.
Feeding on your lies, opened up my eyes
Conveying a realization after being deceived, implying newfound awareness.
Women realise, that good men have to cry
Suggesting that even good men experience pain, particularly in the context of war.
When the war is done, what's for my future son?
Pondering about the future after the war, especially concerning the speaker's future son.
The land he's walking on, will it all be gone?

I guess I'm walking to the war

I told my Mum I won't be long
Assuring the speaker's mother that the absence won't be prolonged.
Protect my family from harm

I don't mind losing sleep as long as no-one else dies

If we remember we're a team always fighting for the same side
Emphasizing unity within a team and the shared goal of fighting on the same side.
Don't let the enemy believe he's even getting in your mind
Advising not to let the enemy infiltrate one's thoughts or mental state.
Maybe one day there'll be peace but I won't see it in this lifetime
Expressing doubt about experiencing peace in the speaker's lifetime.
Feeding on your lies, opened up my eyes
