Lyrics
We lost the war today
We faced a defeat today in a conflict or battle
The headline's the same
The news headlines convey the same message of loss
She'll never make the grade
Someone did not meet the expected standard or failed
Bullet in her brain
An individual, possibly female, suffered a fatal gunshot to the head
Forgotten, buried in an early grave
Forgotten and laid to rest prematurely
A face she couldn't recognize
The deceased couldn't identify a face, suggesting unfamiliarity
A stranger's hand would take her life
A stranger took her life, possibly referring to an act of violence
Bury the motive
Advocating to conceal the true intention or reason
Let no one out alive
Ensuring no one escapes the consequences
Unhinged and devoted
Mentally unstable and dedicated to specific targets
To the marks within the sights
Focused on particular objectives within the scope of a weapon
Our fingers point with blame
Blaming others with accusatory gestures
Though we can't explain
Unable to clarify or justify certain actions
He tried to save the day
An attempt to rescue or help, resulting in the rescuer's departure
Now he's gone away
The person who tried to save is now gone
Just a number, left without a name
Reduced to a mere statistic, unnamed and unacknowledged
A face he couldn't recognize
Similar to the earlier scenario, an unrecognized face and a fatal encounter
A stranger's hand would take his life
Another instance of a stranger causing harm
Bury the motive
Reiterating the call to hide the true motive
Let no one out alive
Emphasizing the intent to leave no survivors
Unhinged and devoted
Continued dedication to specific targets, possibly with unstable motives
To the marks within the sights
Focused on achieving goals within the crosshairs
Liars, our leaders
Leaders who deceive, leading the populace astray
Leave the people blind
The people are kept unaware and uninformed
Ready, armed, and focused
Prepared, armed, and concentrated on exploiting the loss of life
On exploiting the loss of life
Exploiting the tragedy for personal or political gain
Clenched fists
Hands clenched in anger or frustration
Closed eyes
Eyes closed, possibly turning a blind eye to certain truths
Coloring an open canvas
Depicting a vivid yet incomplete picture, waiting to be filled
Mind blank, mesmerized
Minds blank and captivated, possibly by propaganda or manipulation
Bodies fall
Loss of lives, with audible expressions of pain
Hear their cries
Hearing the cries of those affected
One more trip around the sun
A metaphorical journey around the sun, signifying the passage of time
Farewell, so long, goodbye
A farewell, bidding goodbye to the departed
Bury the motive
Reiterating the call to hide the true motive, echoing the earlier lines
Let no one out alive
Emphasizing the determination to leave no survivors, repeating the theme
Unhinged and devoted
Continued dedication to specific targets, echoing previous lines
To the marks within the sights
Focused on achieving goals within the crosshairs, repeating the theme
Liars, our leaders
Leaders who deceive, reiterating the theme of dishonest leadership
We, The People: Blind
The people, collectively, are kept blind and uninformed
Ready, armed, and focused
Prepared, armed, and concentrated on exploiting the loss of life, echoing previous lines
On exploiting the loss of life
Exploiting the tragedy for personal or political gain, repeating the theme
Farewell
A final farewell
So long
An extended goodbye
Goodbye
A final parting
