Lyrics
what is peace
Questioning the concept of peace
to the people
Addressing the people
who work the land
Referring to those who work the land
and die in wars?
Questioning the connection between peace and war
it was learned in a game
Peace learned through a universal game
that was played by us all
Highlighting the collective participation in the game
who held the top of the hill
Describing those at the top of the hill
from the rest was called the king
The one at the top being called the king
and I can't believe it all
Expressing disbelief in the positive outcomes for humanity
was good for humankind
Questioning whether it was truly beneficial for humankind
is it peace
Raising the question of whether pointing guns promotes peace
to point the guns?
Questioning the peaceful nature of using guns
is it war
Raising the question of whether firing guns constitutes war
to fire the guns?
Questioning the act of firing guns in relation to war
we would run with all of our might
Describing a collective effort to achieve a goal
push the king off to take the hill
Depicting a struggle for dominance and control
and to learn who was king
Emphasizing the importance of determining the king
and who makes the better serf
Highlighting the contrast between the king and the serf
I can't believe it all
Reiterating disbelief in the overall positive impact on humanity
was good for humankind
Questioning the benefits of the collective actions
and i have to read the lies
Expressing the need to discern truth from deception
between the lines
Emphasizing the importance of reading between the lines
believe in this
Encouraging belief in a particular perspective or truth
we are part
Acknowledging our interconnectedness as part of the Earth
of a whole we call the earth
Emphasizing the unity of humanity as part of the Earth
and i have to read the lies
Reiterating the need to discern deception in communication
between the lines
Emphasizing the importance of reading between the lines
