I think it's about world poverty. "Some say it's a combat zone, Trying to protect all the things that we own, From the dark unknown" I think this line is abut how in the world today it's every man for himself. You have to make sure to keep your share and some people (the rich) take more than they have to to survive just because they can, and this is how they justify it. "Some say we can't complain, This favoured side of the earth our domain, While the other side shudders in pain." And this one is really obvious. The favoured side of the earth can't complain because there are others out there who has it worse. "Some say we're all the same. Stone throwers living inside a glass cage." This obviosly refers to the old saying: Don't throw rocks in a glass house. (at least that's a saying here in sweden) Anyway, it means that us humans are the stone throwers. We can't help but destroy (in this case) our planet. And our planet is our "cage" because we can't escape and it's very fragile (made of glass). So we're basically making everything crumble around us and we have nowhere to go. "Some say that those who reign with all their power should take all the blame And our powerless disdain - it's so easy." And here we have another clear one. Some do say that the world leaders should take the blame for all the injustice in the world. And it really is much easier to blame it on them, because then the rest of us don't have to feel bad about it. To say we're all the same- Each staggered birth born with the same love, Each weary breath worthy of the same hope. Here's the irony in saying that everybody is born with the same chance in life. Because that is not true in some cases. So it all adds up! |
