Wisdom Justice And Love
Linkin Park怀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because my conscience leaves me no other choice
A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war
This way of settling difference is, is not just
This business of burning human beings with napalm
Filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows
Of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of peoples normally humane
Physically handicapped and psychologically deranged
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
The lyrics of Linkin Park's song "Wisdom Justice And Love" are powerful and thought-provoking, as they condemn the horrors of war and contemplate the need for a revolution of values. The singer declares that they have come to a place of worship because their conscience compels them to seek an alternative to the way that conflicts are typically resolved, through violence and destruction. They call for a true revolution of values that would challenge the status quo and reject war as a means of settling differences.
The verses that follow describe some of the horrific consequences of war, such as burning human beings with napalm, creating orphans and widows, and injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the hearts of people who are normally humane. The impact of war is depicted as leaving soldiers physically and psychologically damaged, unable to reconcile the violence they have witnessed with any notion of wisdom, justice, or love.
