Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can if we want it too
Let's start with me and u
Both of us together
Basag ipagdiket-diket
Pusong punet-punet
Let's peace it together
CHORUS
Cumma cumma let's join us
Buong Pilipinas
Coz this is Natin99
Yes we can do it together,
Let's piece it together
Natin, Natin tayo all the time
rap:
May tipaklong tumatalon-talon
Kahit di pa naman
bagong taon
Tinanong ko anong
meron doon
Ang sinagot nya sa akin ay
Natin99
Nag-abang ng taxi
sa may tulay
Kanina pa pakaway-kaway
Di nagtagal ay may nagsakay
Papunta kami sa
Natin99
Andaming tao nag-uunahan
Kala mo naman mauubusan
Dahan-dahan sa tulakan
Hindi nyo ba alam ngayon ay
Natin99
May mga taga-Davao
Walang humpay
kung sumayaw
Hindi ba kayo nauuhaw
Umiinom kami ng
Natin99
rep ref, chorus
Peace man, peace man where
have you gone?
Come back our work here
is not yet done
Policeman, policeman
put out the sun
O peace man, peace man
where have you gone?
PIECE, PIECE, PIECE IT TOGETHER
Piece, piece, piece it together
Piece, piece, piece it together
Please, please, please it together
Please, please, please it together
Ang lahat ng ito ay sa atin
Lahat ng ito tayong gumawa
Ang lahat ng ito ay sa atin
Gamitin natin
Nabasag na ang mga salarin
Lawakan mo ang iyong paningin
Sa labas ka pa rin ba nakatingin
O pare ko.
CHORUS, ref
The song "Peace It Together" by the Eraserheads carries an important message of unity and peace. The chorus encourages everyone to join together and work towards a peaceful and harmonious society. The lyrics assert that change starts with individuals and that by coming together, we can make a difference. In addition, the song’s rap segment details various scenarios where people from different walks of life are enjoying "Natin99", which is possibly a reference to a hypothetical unified Philippines. The song is a call to all Filipinos to work towards a shared goal of progress and unity.
The repeated phrases such as "peace it together" and "piece it together" are not just wordplay. They convey two different messages. The first one is to make peace and get along with others, while the latter refers to the idea of putting together fragmented pieces of something to create a wholesome entity. By using these phrases and combining them with a catchy tune and powerful lyrics, the Eraserheads were able to create a song that can inspire individuals to work towards creating a better society.
