Perfect Symmetry Lyrics

“In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make” sang The Beatles. This song echoes the same sentiment.

It’s a song about Jihad, the holy war. The futility of “an eye for an eye” revenge attacks from both sides. Where will it all end?

Fanatical religious extremists hide in “churches” and send suicide bombers out onto London’s buses. They won’t be going to “heaven”, even if there is one. As they prepare to meet their maker, maybe the hatred will be replaced by love? “Love is all you need”.
