Warhead
Шаен a.k.a. Cheyenne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The soldiers of Islam are loading their guns
They're getting ready
But the Russian tanks are mowing them down
They're getting ready
There's children in Africa with Tommy Guns
Getting ready
While the Islam armies are beckoning on
Getting ready

There's a burning sun
And it sets in the western world
But it rises in the east
And pretty soon
It's gonna burn your temples down

While the heads of state are having their fun
Are they ready?
We're looking at the world through a barrel of a gun
Are we ready?
You stand there beating on your little war drum
Are you ready?
And it won't be long before your time has come
Are you ready?

There's a burning sun
And it sets in the western world
But it rises in the east
And pretty soon
It's gonna burn your temples down, down

There's a burning sun
And it sets in the western world
But it rises in the east
And pretty soon
It's gonna burn your temples down

Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead

Well, I don't know what it is but I feel something coming (warhead, warhead, warhead)
Stuck in the middle of the Yankees and the Russians
So pull back the hands tonight (warhead, warhead, warhead)




'Cause bye bye planet let alone your nation
(Warhead, warhead, warhead)

Overall Meaning

"Warhead" by Шаен a.k.a. Cheyenne is a song that speaks about war and the negative consequences it brings about. The song has a heavy guitar and drum sound, which makes it audibly catchy. The song is a call to arms, a reflection of the tumultuous state of the world with the drums of war sounding louder than ever. The first line, "the soldiers of Islam are loading their guns," suggests that religious differences are fueling war, and people are getting ready to fight for their beliefs. The following line talks about the Russian tanks mowing people down, which highlights the fact that many innocents become victims of war.


In the second verse, the song speaks about how the heads of state think it’s fun to watch the world fall apart, by extension talking about the people in power who cause the war. It asks them if they are ready and tells them that their time will come soon. The song then talks about how the sun sets in the western world but rises in the east, hinting that what goes around comes around, and it’s just a matter of time before their actions catch up with them. The chorus repeatedly speaks of the "warhead," seemingly a metaphor for the imminent destruction that will befall the planet if people continue on this path of war.
