Jerusalem
.Feast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I thought it was over
With all these broken spines
We argue we fight
Talks were cold extra shiver
30 days were all night
No sunshine no sight

Old school
Taxi and Uber we fight
Why can't our road be as one

Tear down this border
We share the same mother
Our foes aligned
Dreams intertwined
Blow off your steam
Tomorrow is fine

Share our promised land this time
Jerusalem's not just mine
Jerusalem's not just mine oh

Oh I got dreams without fever
Of a place I could call home
A place I share with some
Leave behind all this sickness and bruises
That you inflict upon me
That I inflict upon you

Fender and Gibson
Why do we fight
Why can not we both rhyme as one

Tear down this border
We share the same mother
Our foes aligned
Dreams intertwined
Blow off your steam
Tomorrow is fine

Share our promised land this time
Jerusalem's not just mine

Share our promised land this time
Jerusalem's not just mine

Share our promised land this time
Jerusalem's not just mine





Share our promised land this time
Jerusalem's not just mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Jerusalem" by .Feast discusses the theme of unity and the need for people to come together regardless of their differences. The song opens with the line "Oh I thought it was over, with all these broken spines", which suggests the singer believes that people have been hurt and divided in the past, and sees this as an opportunity to bring them together. The next line states "we argue, we fight, talks were cold, extra shiver", which further emphasizes the state of division and disunity.


The song then moves on to talk about how even seemingly small differences can lead to conflict, such as the rivalry between taxi and Uber drivers. .Feast then goes on to suggest that people should "tear down this border" and "share the same mother", as despite any differences between them, they all come from the same place. The line "our foes aligned, dreams intertwined, blow off your steam, tomorrow is fine" reinforces the idea that people should work together for a better future.


The song's title, "Jerusalem", is significant, as the city is often seen as a symbol of conflict and division, especially between Israelis and Palestinians. By using this title, .Feast is suggesting that even in this troubled region, people can come together and work towards a better future.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh I thought it was over
Feast expresses a feeling of weariness, as if conflict had come and gone in the past but now it has reared its ugly head again.


With all these broken spines

We argue we fight
Conflict is a common occurrence, with people arguing and fighting instead of coming to a peaceful resolution.


Talks were cold extra shiver

Bait Al Aqsa, The Wailing Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, holy places of 3 abrahamic religions.

"We share the same mother"
Ke-3 agama itu meyakini bahwa there is only 1 God.

"Why can't we both rhyme as one"
"Tear down this border"
"Share our promised land this time"
"Jerusalem's not just mine"
Lagu ini membahas toleransi beragama, bahwa apa yang mereka miliki, belum tentu ekslusif untuk mereka, tetapi ada juga orang-orang lain yang berhak atas hal tsb, di konteks ini, Jerusalem.
Kenapa kita tidak hidup berdampingan, menghancurkan semua pembatas? Toh kita adalah umat Tuhan Yang Esa, kita juga hidup di dunia yang sama. Apakah Tuhan dan dunia ini hanya milikmu? Tentu tidak, ini semua milik bersama. Apapun yang milik bersama, harus rela "dibagi-bagi" bukan?

Pov gw, cmiiw

lagu ini menyentuh banget, bukan karena mellow nya lagu tapi karena arti setiap makna dibalik liriknya bener bener ngena, Tanah yang di Janjikan oleh Tuhan sedang jadi perebutan. Antara agama dan kemanusiaan

@krisnaramadhan6168

Sorry bang mau nanya, yg part "we share the same mother" bukannya berarti lahir di ibu pertiwi yg sama yaa????

@audiazham4789

@@krisnaramadhan6168 Kalo gw nangkepnya sih bang, "we" refers ke tiga umat beragama tsb. Kalau diartikan sebagai ibu pertiwi (tempat kelahiran) Kristen dan Yahudi memang berasal dari bani Israil dari Israel sedangkan Islam berasal dari bani Hasyim dari Mekkah. Jadi ke-3 agama tsb nggak "share" the same ibu pertiwi. Saya nangkepnya begitu hehe cmiiw, entah apa makna aslinya hanya Feast. Dan Tuhan yang tahu hehew

@krisnaramadhan6168

@@audiazham4789 kan yg dimaksud org islam nya bukan agamanya, org islam yg di situ ya pasti yg lahir di tanah bani israil jga kan

@krisnaramadhan6168

@@audiazham4789 jd mungkin menurut sy makna dri kalimat itu adalah ketiga umat beragama yg sama2 lahir di tanah itu yg selalu memperebutkan untuk menguasai tanah itu padahal bisa saling berbagi dan hidup rukun di tanah yg sama

@audiazham4789

@@krisnaramadhan6168 setuju gw bang, kepikiran tadi di jalan kalo kata "mother" sama tuhan harus hati-hati makenya. karena Tuhan tidak beranak dan tidak pula diperanakkan. Kalo dalam konteks "ibu yang sama" adalah "mother earth" lebih cocok juga bang, lahir di tanah yang sama, bumi. Sudah sepantasnya kita berbagi dengan "saudara". thanks bang udah mau berbagi insight sama gw, mantap abis
