March
13 Faces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What would I do, who would I kill
Seeing defeat dripping down from the arabplane
Blow away, nothing to see
Alah to praise, Alah can't see
Set me down, flip the page and everything
Allied defense, allied defense
No one's faith shall break or make me safe
March
Dawned in my head just the other day getting high
What would I do, who would I kill
Seeing your fate, jumping down on the t.v.
Nothing to blame, nothing to see
Terror ain't the way, nothing to save
Just a downfall faith of plague and dirt
Allied defense, allied defense
So don't bitch
You should have made me safe
March, throw your weight at me
March, kill your love for me
March, tear away for me
March, show your love for me
March, kill your wife for me
March, kill your love for me
March, throw your hate at me
March, kill your wife fro me
March, tear your love for me
March, clear the way for me
March, tear your love for me
March, throw your hate at me
The lyrics of March by 13 Faces revolve around the themes of war, terror, and faith. The song opens with the singer contemplating what he would do and who he would kill if he were to get high. This is followed by a reference to the Arabplane and defeat, which suggests the singer may be referring to the war in the Middle East. He then mentions Allah, but questions his ability to see and senses that his faith alone won't protect him.

He mentions that allied defense is his only hope, and no one's faith shall break or make him safe. The chorus is an invitation to the listener to march with him and do everything in his/her power to clear the way for him.
Overall, March is a song that highlights the complexity of war and faith. It shows how easily people can be swayed by their emotions and how difficult it is to find a solution to conflict. There are clear references to the conflict in the Middle East, terrorism, and the role of allied forces. The singer seems to be struggling to find hope and faith in a world consumed by war and terror.
