What If

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And said, it’s something I gotta tell you son
The great big world don’t work the way
It don’t work the way
The way you thought it was
The big man upstairs said he gotta plan
He built his army and then the devil ran
What if every angel dropped his sword
Then what would you be fighting for
What if angels ain’t that perfect
They just like us here on earth
We can fight this war until the end of time
Or till hell freezes over
And if God ever left us
Man would expire
We’d be beat and be to burn
Then heavens on fire
Come with me if you wanna see
The lay out of history
The earth was never meant to be
In such poverty and misery
What if the big man just packed up his bags and left
What if to him we was just a great big game of chess
And what if every angel dropped his sword
And the big man said he won’t do it no more
What would you be fighting for
What if angels ain’t that perfect
They just like us here on earth
We can fight this war until the end of time
Or till hell freezes over
And if God ever left us
Man would expire
We’d be beat and be to burn
Then heavens on fire
What if angels ain’t that perfect
They just like us here on earth
We can fight this war until the end of time
Or till hell freezes over
And if God ever left us
Man would expire
We’d be beat and be to burn
Then heavens on fire
What if every angel dropped his sword
And the big man said he won’t do it no more
What would you be fighting for
Then heavens on fire
Then heavens on fire
The song "What If" by Breez. E is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of the world and the role of God and angels in it. The lyrics are a conversation between the singer and an angel who warns him that the world doesn't work the way he thought it did. The big man upstairs, meaning God, has a plan, and he built his army, but what if the angels drop their swords? What if they are not perfect and just like us on earth? What if God simply left us, and we were left to suffer the consequences of our actions? The song wades through existential angst, leaving the listener to ponder the intricacies of human existence.
The main idea of the song is the conflict between the concept of free will and predestination. The singer questions the role of God and the angels in the world, and suggests that maybe they are not as perfect as we think they are. The chorus focuses on the idea of war in heaven, and the concept that nobody wins wars, and angels fighting is pointless. The singer's questioning suggests that even if we imagine the worst-case scenario, God abandoning us, we'd only have ourselves to blame.
In conclusion, "What If" is a profound song that challenges the listener to think deeply about their beliefs about God and the nature of the world. A poignant reminder that we only have one chance at life, and we must make the most of it. The song implies that we need to focus less on the divine intervention of God and more on how we can impact the world positively.
