War in the Gutter
Street Warriors Clash: War in the Gutter Chronicles
Lyrics
Warriors of the street
People who are like fighters or soldiers on the streets
want to beat their enemies
Desire to defeat their adversaries
The shark's broke the truce
A metaphorical reference to powerful or aggressive individuals breaking a peace agreement
Tonight's the night, who'll win who'll lose
Indication that tonight's conflict will determine winners and losers
This is not your turf
A warning that the area doesn't belong to those who are defenseless
Unarmed you just die first
Being without protection leads to immediate death
Ruthless they fight their fight
They fight mercilessly to uphold their own cause
To defend their walls feeds their pride
Defending their territory gives them a sense of honor
Senseless massacre tonight
A brutal and purposeless killing spree is happening tonight
Kid kills kid in this riot
Youth are killing each other in this chaotic situation
The rulers don't want to care
The authorities or leaders are indifferent to the situation
Deaf and blind hiding in their lair
The leaders are ignoring the problem, unable or unwilling to see or hear what's happening
War in the gutter, hoy!
Declaration of war happening in the lowest social strata
Watch out!
A warning or alert
Angel shotgun
A metaphorical reference to someone wielding a powerful weapon
You have to fight or run
There's no choice but to either fight or flee
The leads tight tonight
The situation is tense and uncertain
Who knows who's wrong, who's right
Uncertainty about who is morally right or wrong
Shining blade, a yell
A description of a violent scene with a blade and a cry
Running blood, a lad fell
A visual of bloodshed, someone falling due to injury
He's so surprised
The victim is taken aback by the attack
He dies in a gutter another wasted life
Another life ends tragically in the dirt, highlighting the waste of life
Senseless massacre tonight
A repetition of the earlier senseless violence
Kid kills kid in this riot
Reiteration of youths killing each other during the chaos
The rulers don't want to care
Leadership's indifference or negligence toward the situation remains unchanged
Deaf and blind hiding in their lair
Continued ignorance of the problem by those in power
War in the gutter, hoy!
A reaffirmation of the ongoing war in the lowest societal level
