This Is Not America
Juliette Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not america
Blossom falls to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
For this is not a miracle
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea
Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrows clouds
A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
For this is not america
There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
This could be the biggest sky
This could be a miracle
This could be etc
The song "This Is Not America" by Juliette Lewis is a powerful and thought-provoking piece that reflects on the current state of America. The opening lyrics, "A little piece of you, the little peace in me will die, for this is not America," sets the tone for the song. It suggests that something fundamental about the country has changed, and that what once defined America is no longer present. The lyrics speak to the disillusionment that many individuals feel towards the current state of politics and social dynamics in America.
The following lyrics, "Blossom falls to bloom this season, promise not to stare too long for this is not a miracle," suggest a sense of loss and a plea to move on. The phrase "promise not to stare too long" suggests that dwelling on the past will not bring back what has been lost. This sentiment is further echoed in the lyrics, "there was a time, a storm that blew so pure, for this could be the biggest sky, and I could have the faintest idea." The song reflects on what has been lost, but also holds a sense of hope for what could be, if only things were different.
Overall, "This Is Not America" is a poignant reminder of the disillusionment felt by many individuals towards the current state of the country. Through its reflection on loss and hope, the song encourages us to continue fighting for something better.

A little piece of you
A part of you, a small fragment of your being
The little peace in me
The small sense of tranquility within myself
Will die
Will cease to exist, will perish
For this is not america
Because this is not the United States of America, this is not the country that represents freedom and hope
Blossom falls to bloom
The flower petals drop before new ones grow
This season
During this time of year
Promise not to stare
Make a pledge to not look for too long
Too long
For an extended period of time
For this is not a miracle
Because this is not a miraculous event, it is not something extraordinary
There was a time
In the past, there existed a time
A storm that blew so pure
A tempest that raged with such intensity and purity
For this could be the biggest sky
Because this sky might be the largest one yet seen
And I could have The faintest idea
Even with seeing such a sight, I might still have only a vague notion
Snowman melting
A figure made of snow, dissolving into water
From the inside
Melting internally, not caused by external factors
Falcon spirals
A bird of prey descends in circles
To the ground
Moving downwards till it touches the earth
So bloody red
Such a vibrant shade of red, resembling blood
Tomorrows clouds
The clouds in the future, perhaps suggesting a sense of uncertainty
This could be the biggest sky
The sky above might be larger than any we've seen so far
This could be a miracle
This event might be a wondrous occurrence, something to inspire awe and amazement
This could be etc
The possibilities are numerous, wide-ranging, and perhaps limitless
