21 Guns
Exploring Inner Battles and Surrender: 21 Guns' Deep Reflection
Lyrics
Do you know what's worth fighting for
Asking about what's truly worth fighting for
When it's not worth dying for?
Questioning the value of sacrificing one's life
Does it take your breath away
Wondering if something takes your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed by a situation
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Considering if pain outweighs pride
And you look for a place to hide?
Seeking a place to hide from troubles or challenges
Did someone break your heart inside?
Questioning if someone caused emotional pain
You're in ruins
Feeling broken or devastated
One, twenty one guns
Symbolizing a salute or honor (21-gun salute)
Lay down your arms
Advocating for surrender or giving up the fight
Give up the fight
Encouraging to let go of the struggle or conflict
One, twenty one guns
Reiterating the symbolic meaning of honor (21-gun salute)
Throw up your arms into the sky,
Symbolizing surrender by throwing arms up
You and I
Unity between two individuals in surrendering
When you're at the end of the road
Describing being at the end of one's journey or options
And you lost all sense of control
Feeling a loss of control over one's life
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When thoughts have exhausted mental strength
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
When the mind breaks down the spirit of the soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
Symbolizing faith enduring hardship
And the hangover doesn't pass
Indicating persistent consequences or pain
Nothing's ever built to last
Reflecting on the impermanence of things
You're in ruins
Reiterating feeling devastated or broken
One, twenty one guns
Symbolizing honor or tribute (21-gun salute)
Lay down your arms
Advocating for surrender or giving up the fight
Give up the fight
Encouraging letting go of conflict or struggle
One, twenty one guns
Repeating the symbolic meaning of honor (21-gun salute)
Throw up your arms into the sky,
Symbolizing surrender by raising arms
You and I
Unity in surrender between two individuals
Did you try to live on your own
Questioning if one tried to live independently
When you burned down the house and home?
Metaphorically burning down one's life or stability
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Getting too close to a destructive force
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
Seeking forgiveness in a hopeless situation
When it's time to live and let die
Accepting the finality of certain situations
And you can't get another try
Realizing no more chances are available
Something inside this heart has died
Feeling an emotional death or loss
You're in ruins
Reiterating feeling devastated or broken
One, twenty one guns
Symbolizing honor or tribute (21-gun salute)
Lay down your arms
Advocating for surrender or giving up the fight
Give up the fight
Encouraging letting go of conflict or struggle
One, twenty one guns
Repeating the symbolic meaning of honor (21-gun salute)
Throw up your arms into the sky,
Symbolizing surrender by raising arms
One, twenty one guns
Reiterating the symbolic meaning of honor (21-gun salute)
Lay down your arms
Advocating for surrender or giving up the fight
Give up the fight
Encouraging letting go of conflict or struggle
One, twenty one guns
Reiterating the symbolic meaning of honor (21-gun salute)
Throw up your arms into the sky,
Symbolizing surrender by raising arms
You and I
Unity in surrender between two individuals
