Война
Engage at Will Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

она нас жрет
она нас ест
она сама в себе
протест
не будет вас
не будет их
твой мир сгорел
твой стон затих
твой континент
моя земля
она снесет их
веселясь
она в тебе
она во мне
она в себе
война в войне

напрасен крик
не к месту плач
она мучитель
и палач
вот чей-то доллар
или цент
она отдаст
большой процент
неправ политик?
быть войне
"Последний довод
королей"
ты так силен
а я вдвойне
что ж на войне
как на войне

где миллион
там миллиард
чем больше вклад
мощней азарт
твой бог не прав
ты хуже нас
и в камеры
уж пущен газ
кому-то крест
кому-то гроб
кому пулю
кому в лоб
противник пал
беднягу жаль




тебе костыль
а мне медаль...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Engage at Will's song "Война" depict the horrors of war and its all-consuming nature. The first few lines directly state that war is consuming us and eating us alive, and it's a protest against itself. It's a force that will not spare anyone, as both our worlds have been burned to ashes and our cries drowned out. The lyrics suggest that the war is present everywhere; in the singer, in the listener, and in itself. The lines "она отдаст большой процент" imply that war is influenced by the economic factors that profit from it. The lyrics highlight that war creates a divide - some get crosses and some get coffins. It's a senseless, brutal affair where the strongest survives, and the weak perish.


The lyrics of Война can be interpreted as a commentary on how wars are started and sustained by powerful interests, while ordinary people suffer and die in its wake. It's a brutal, dark, and intense song that takes an unflinching look at the consequences of war. The repetition of "она" (she) suggests that war is personified as a figure, a relentless and all-consuming force that destroys everything in its path, including innocent lives.
