when i first heard this song i assumed it was about war/life. EI: we are always seeking "immortality" through various means, be it science curing diseases, religious belief (reincarnation), or even literal immortality somehow, however, life itself is getting in the way of immortality in the form of war.
--If we gonna kill each other, how we gonna live forever?--
simple if you think about it. how can we ever reach this goal of living forever when we keep fighting and killing each other?
--If we gonna live forever, how we gonna kill each other?--
now turn it around and you get something different. think war specifically. how the hell do you win a war against immortals? (save the 300 jokes pls)
that part immediately made me think of war for profit. its no joke that wars done right can create BIIIIIIG bank for whoever is producing the tanks/weapons/whatever else. humans are greedy and most will kill or do whatever it takes to get what they can out of this life regardless of what its costing others.
My other theory is its straight up about various religions and how most of them fight in the name of their god. one religion cant believe that the world can still move on with a different religion also existing, so they kill them, all the while believing they will live on forever.
