Sunday Bloody Sunday
Paramore湯 Lyrics

I can't believe the news today
Expresses disbelief and shock about some recent news

Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away
Feels helpless and unable to avoid the news

How long, how long must we sing this song?
Asks how much longer they have to express their grievances about an ongoing problem

How long, how long?
Repeats the same question to emphasize the urgency and frustration of the situation

Tonight, we can be as one tonight
Calls to unite and stand together in the face of adversity

Broken bottles under children's feet
Paints a vivid and disturbing image of violence and danger

And bodies strewn across the dead end street
Describes a scene of chaos and death on the streets

But I won't heed the battle call
Refuses to participate in a violent conflict

It puts my back up
Provokes anger and defiance

Puts my back up against the wall
Feels cornered and under attack

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Repeats the title of the song, which is a reference to a real-life event of violence and tragedy

And the battle's just begun
Acknowledges the ongoing struggle and conflict

There's many lost, but tell me who has won
Questions the futility of violence and the lack of real victory

The trench is dug within our hearts
Describes the emotional and psychological toll of conflict

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Highlights the devastating impact of violence on families and communities

How long, how long must we sing this song?
Repeats the same question as before, indicating that the problem persists

How long, how long?
Repeats the same question to emphasize the ongoing struggle

And it's true we are immune
Suggests that they are desensitized to violence and tragedy

When fact is fiction and tv reality
Points out the blurred line between real life and media portrayal

And today the millions cry
Mourns the loss and pain experienced by many

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die, yeah
Critiques the apathy and indifference of some in the face of others' suffering

I wipe the tears from your eyes
Offers comfort and support to someone who is grieving

I wipe your tears away
Reinforces the message of providing emotional support to others

(Tonight, tonight)
Repeats a phrase to emphasize the immediacy and importance of the situation

I wipe your bloodshot eyes
Acknowledges the toll that tragedy and stress can take on a person

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Repeats the title of the song again, using it as a powerful refrain and reminder of past events

(The real battle just begun)
Signals that the conflict and struggle are ongoing and far from over

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Repeats the title once more, driving home the song's message and emotional impact
