Human Remains
Requiem for Love: Unveiling the Battle Within Human Hearts
Lyrics
You don't know what you're fighting for
You lack understanding of your purpose or cause in the conflict.
You don't even know the game
You are unaware of the rules or dynamics of the situation.
Foolish crowds of sleeping minds
A group of people, blindly conforming and unaware, like a foolish crowd.
Unthinking all the same
People acting without thought, behaving uniformly.
Cruel words in the name of love
Harsh and hurtful words are spoken under the guise of love.
Well, love would be ashamed
Love is misrepresented or degraded by these actions.
You shoot to kill
Engaging aggressively, assigning blame with destructive intentions.
With guns of blame
Blaming others with the potential to cause harm.
Human hands will never change
The inherent nature of humanity resists positive transformation.
This is a requiem for love
A song mourning the loss of love and lamenting internal conflicts.
The war within your mouth is still a war
The internal conflict expressed through words is an ongoing battle.
The battlefield has changed
The circumstances of the conflict have evolved or shifted.
But the human hand remains
Despite changes, the destructive potential of human actions persists.
As flesh and blood begin to fade
Humanity's physical existence diminishes, but remnants endure.
What bones are left behind
What remains after the decline, possibly symbolic of consequences.
Their slight of hand, your next offense
Deceptive actions, the next wrongdoing, following a sleight of hand.
We fall when we divide
Division among people leads to downfall or failure.
Eyes for eyes in the name of love
Retaliation in the name of love leads to a loss of perspective.
The whole world's going blind
A warning that a lack of empathy is causing widespread blindness.
Kings rise and fall
Rulers emerge and fall, but the cycle of conflict persists.
You take up arms
Engaging in conflict, taking a stand with weapons.
The pigs will always run the farm
An allegorical statement about those in power maintaining control.
This is a requiem for love
A repeated expression of mourning for the loss of genuine love.
The war within your mouth is still a war
The internal conflict, expressed through words, continues to be a battle.
The battlefield has changed
The circumstances of the conflict have changed, but challenges persist.
But the human hand remains
Despite changes, the destructive potential of human actions endures.
