Jerusalem
Aftercoma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We who fight against the sun
The shadow falls into the ground
The children died and buried with their guns

We who hold the weapons down
Try to reach the land of god
Never find the time to grow and old
Dear GOD, I want to talk to you
Why everyone is gone
This fear I never realized
Is the only friend I got
Inside I want to feel alive
This war is killing me
This time my eyes are open wide
We got to fight and die

City falls in ruins now
All i see is drying blood
Children cry and die and fade away

Will you hold your weapons down
Stop these tears at least for now
Let the spirits rest and sail away

Dear GOD, I want to talk to you
Why everyone is gone
This fear I never realized
Is the only friend I got
Inside I want to feel alive
This war is killing me
This time we got to fight and die

Everyone is gone
Swallowed by the sun
Everyone is gone
And fade away
Everyone is gone
Swallowed by the sun
Everyone is gone
And fade away

I don't understand
These things out of hand
I don't understand
Life's are taken
I don't understand
These things out of hand




I don't understand
Life's are taken

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Jerusalem" by Aftercoma are a poignant reflection on the devastating consequences of war. The song begins with an acknowledgement of the futility of fighting against the inevitability of death - "We who fight against the sun". The shadow falling into the ground is an image of death which is inescapable for those fighting in the war. The second verse highlights the tragedy of children being killed with their guns, their lives snuffed out before they have had a chance to live. The lyrics express the frustration of soldiers who want to reach the land of God but are unable to do so, never getting the opportunity to grow old.


The chorus of the song is a prayer to God, expressing a desire to talk to him and understand why everyone has gone. Fear is the only friend the singer has left, and the war is killing him. The bridge emphasizes the destruction wrought by the war - the city is in ruins, blood dries on the ground, and children cry and die. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's plea to understand why lives are taken in such senseless conflicts.


Overall, "Jerusalem" is a heart-wrenching reflection on the horrors of war and its devastating impact on the lives of those who fight in it. It is a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict and the importance of striving for peace whenever possible.
