War of the Worlds
Love Prevails: A Tale of Reunion After the War
Lyrics
Tomorrow they ship me out
Anticipation of being deployed to war
We know things were bloody over there
Acknowledgment of the violence in the war zone
You spent those nights alone not knowing if I was dead
Expressing the emotional strain of separation during war
I knew we'd be together again,
Confidence in reuniting with a loved one after the war
This is not the end of the world
Optimistic perspective, emphasizing that it's not the end of the world
The war of the worlds, the war is over, call me crazy
Reference to the war's conclusion and a declaration of potential insanity for believing so
We could love each other again
Expressing the possibility of rekindling love after the war
The war of the worlds, the war is over, maybe baby
Reiteration that the war is over, with a hopeful outlook on restarting love
We'll start to love each other again
Hopeful anticipation of renewed love
So baby they're pulling us out
Announcement of being withdrawn from the war
You know, I've seen some pretty ugly things
Acknowledgment of witnessing disturbing events during the war
Then the fight stopped, the guns dropped at the last shot
Description of the ceasefire and the end of hostilities
Till we count down New Years in Times Square
Imagery of celebrating the new year in Times Square after the war
New York Times read it's not the end of the world
Contrasting the previous belief that it's the end of the world with the reality reported by New York Times
The war of the worlds, the war is over, call me crazy
Reiteration of the war's conclusion and the speaker's perceived insanity
We could love each other again
Expressing the possibility of rekindling love after the war (repeated)
The war of the worlds, the war is over, maybe baby
Reiteration that the war is over, with a hopeful outlook on restarting love (repeated)
We'll start to love each other again
Hopeful anticipation of renewed love (repeated)
Tonight they're flying us in,
Announcement of being flown back home
And it's a countdown to the year two thousand
Highlighting the countdown to the year 2000 and the uncertainty of what follows
Armageddon, hell or heaven,
Reference to the impending uncertain future, using apocalyptic terms
More champagne then you can ever imagine, yeah
Describing a celebratory atmosphere with excessive champagne
The war of the worlds, the war is over, call me crazy
Reiteration of the war's conclusion and the speaker's perceived insanity (repeated)
We could love each other again
Expressing the possibility of rekindling love after the war (repeated)
The war of the worlds, the war is over, maybe baby
Reiteration that the war is over, with a hopeful outlook on restarting love (repeated)
We'll start to love each other again
Hopeful anticipation of renewed love (repeated)
Fight stopped, guns dropped, last shot
Recapitulation of the end of the fight, guns being dropped, and the last shot fired
