Suicide Bombers
All alone, you kept the time
Getting ready for the ultimate crime
Who told you to die that way?
Is it really worth the price you pay?
Suicide Bombers
Who told you to die that way?
Trying hard meant to lose your mind
With a bomb detonate in time
Who taught you to hate that way?
Do you really wanna die today?
Suicide Bombers
Who told you to die that way?
Nothing to live for, nothing to lose
Nothing
Was your mommy mean to you?
Are you just another spineless fool?
If you flick the switch today
God I hope that you will pay
Suicide Bombers
Who told you to die that way?
The lyrics in Leæther Strip's "Suicide Bombers" is a commentary on the tragic act of suicide bombing that has claimed countless lives in the world. The song begins by asking a poignant question, "Who told you to die that way?" The verse introduces the idea that these suicide bombers are alone and isolated in their decision to carry out such a harmful act. The singer wonders what could have caused them to make such a decision and whether the outcomes they hope to achieve are worth the high price they will pay.
The chorus consists of the repeated question, "Suicide Bombers, Who told you to die that way?" This phrase confronts the suicide bombers and aims to understand their reasoning for such a destructive act. The next verse continues the introspection by exploring the idea that the bombers may have lost their minds in their quest to carry out their mission. The singer is left to question who taught these people to hate in this way and whether they genuinely wish to die with their actions.
The lyrics in the song ultimately try to get inside the minds of suicide bombers, provoke thought and understanding, and question the rationale behind a horrific and deadly practice. The song's intention is not to promote suicide bombing or justify the action, but instead, encourage reflection and deliver a message of hope and peace.
