this song reminds me of the Mayan origin myth, in which the playful founder-twins have to fight against the serious and warlike gods in a ballgame. the twins are fighting for their survival and for their fun way of life. in order to win, one of the twins must sacrifice himself (they use his head as a ball). in the end they win, and he comes back.
the notion that its a war on war reminds me of balancing the seriousness of life and of course, death, with the joy that is possible if we learn to embrace death and enjoy life as much as possible. how can you be expected to really live, if you are constantly worried about the risk?
