It's a War
Arcane Symphony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You go with the covered face
The nations have forgotten that
They cannot win this race!
They don′t want to find out that fights
Are not that we should strive
They take a lot of harmless people
But you are here. Alive!
Truth is what
Stands the test of experience
Go forward
Don′t look back
And please don't
Give up!
It's a war!
What′s the score?
They give an order to attack!
Do you see
The victory
Or just total defeat?
Coup, Civil wars and Siege
You have a narrow escape
So let′s build a strong bridge
Without death and rape
Guys! let's finally finish it all!
Who needs this sacrifice?
Days are hard and you can fall
You′ve done a lot. Suffice!
It's a war!
Truth is what
Stands the test of experience
Go forward
Don′t look back
And please don't
Give up!
It′s a war!
What's the score?
They give an order to attack!
Do you see
The victory
Or just total defeat?
It's a war!
Truth is what
Stands the test of experience
Go forward
Don′t look back
And please don′t
Give up!
It's a war!
What′s the score?
They give an order to attack!
Do you see
The victory
Or just total defeat?
In Arcane Symphony's song "It's a War," the lyrics convey a message about the harsh realities of war and the destructive nature of conflicts between nations. The song begins by expressing the feeling of being displaced and having no place in life, as represented by "Life where you have no place." The line "You go with the covered face" suggests the need for anonymity or protection in a dangerous situation.
The lyrics then emphasize that nations have forgotten that they cannot win the race of war, and that it is not something to strive for. The reference to harmless people being taken implies the innocent victims caught in the crossfire of war. However, amidst all the chaos, the singer is alive and urges others not to lose hope.
The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the theme of war and the importance of truth standing the test of experience. The lines "Go forward, don't look back" and "Please don't give up" encourage resilience and determination in the face of conflict. The lyrics question whether victory can be seen or if there will only be total defeat.
As for the meaning behind the lyrics, "It's a War" serves as a commentary on the devastating impact of war on individuals and societies. It highlights the urgent need to find alternatives to violence, building bridges instead of perpetuating cycles of death and suffering.
