I think that the meaning of this song is pretty self-explanatory. I think the most general meaning that most people would interpret this song to be about, is war. But I think that "war" could mean various different things. From war between countries, to wars that individuals are battling within themselves. If there was more peace and love in the world and people could come together and discuss issues, our world would not be such a conflicting environment.

this would make a great song to put in George bush's ear every night when he sleeps.. maybe he could learn a thing or two from it :)

I second that.

I can see this song played at the end of a movie while looking at a ravage scene of war and destruction! Kind of eerie in a sense!

Yeah, I agree with the comment above. I think war is a metaphor for any kind of struggle, be it one literally between nations, or on a smaller scale, any kind of personal struggle/pain...

Maybe he's saying that we already have all the answers inside of ourselves, we just need to take either another, or deeper look inside
