Red
Unity in Red: Breaking Barriers, Erasing Colors
Lyrics
You can break our bones and leave us starving but if that's what you want, then it's war That you bring
You can inflict physical harm and starvation, but if conflict is what you desire, then prepare for war.
Hate is all over your mindset
Hatred pervades your mindset.
You may not know it but it's pain that your words spread
You may not realize, but your words cause pain.
Fake is the world that you're living in
The world you inhabit is false and insincere.
You can deny but it won't make it forgiven
Denying won't erase the wrongdoing; forgiveness is not easily attained.
Oh, you just see black and white no shades, no colours
You perceive the world in absolutes, lacking nuance and diversity.
That makes it simple to define your borders
This simplicity allows you to rigidly define your boundaries.
Your words long for justice for somebodys fault
Your words seek justice for someone's perceived fault.
Someone looking way different than the others in your neighbourhood
Targeting someone different in appearance within your community.
It's not as simple as that to separate right from wrong
Discerning right from wrong is not as straightforward as you believe.
For you it's a color that destroys your home
For you, a particular color is responsible for destroying your home.
You can break our bones and leave us starving but if that's what you want then its war That you bring
Reiteration of the opening theme: inflicting harm and starvation leads to war.
We are all the same
We are all fundamentally the same.
The only difference is our shell
The only difference lies in our external appearances.
Cause if you cut these veins you'd witness we're all red
If you cut our veins, you'd see we share the same red blood.
Just in case you're not listening
An appeal to pay attention.
You should remind yourself how it would be when you are just in the same situation
Consider how you'd feel in a similar situation.
Would you like to be treated that way?
Ask yourself if you'd want to be treated the same way.
Imagine you are the foreigner searching for hope somewhere else
Imagine being a foreigner seeking hope elsewhere due to your home's destruction.
Cause your home is destroyed by the ones who declare
Your home destroyed by those who labeled you the problem, solved by violence.
That you were the problem which now has been solved by fire and bombs, by daggers And guns
Highlighting the brutality with fire, bombs, daggers, and guns.
Is it really too much to ask for?
Is it too much to ask for empathy?
To rethink your actions
Encouraging reflection on one's actions.
Is it worth to be proud of a country?
Questioning the pride associated with a country solely based on birthplace.
Just cause where you were born?
Your birthplace alone should not be a source of pride.
You can break our bones and leave us starving but if that's what you want then its war That you bring
Reiteration: Inflicting harm and starvation leads to war.
We are all the same
We are all fundamentally the same.
The only difference is our shell
The only difference lies in our external appearances.
Cause if you cut these veins you'd witness we're all red
If you cut our veins, you'd see we share the same red blood.
This is a call to action
A call to take action against discrimination.
We're all the same
We are all fundamentally the same.
No black, no white just colours
No black, no white, just a spectrum of colors.
Different shades to crayon the hollow
Diverse shades add depth to our existence.
No black, no white just colorful
No black, no white, only vibrant colors.
It's a world that I'm dreaming of
An idealized vision of a world without prejudice.
You can break our bones and leave us starving but if that's what you want then its war That you bring
Reiteration: Inflicting harm and starvation leads to war.
We are all the same
We are all fundamentally the same.
The only difference is our shell
The only difference lies in our external appearances.
Cause if you cut these veins you'd witness we're all red
If you cut our veins, you'd see we share the same red blood.
You'd witness we're all red
Emphasizing our commonality through shared red blood.
Cause if you cut these veins you'd witness we're all red
If you cut our veins, you'd see we share the same red blood.
