IMAGINATION
Peace and Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time is all we have
Time to heal this land
What God?
Red, white and blue
They're the colors that I choose
Burn my flag
I've got my freedom
My sword unsheathed
That's all I really need
Will I live to see duration?
Will I have to see my imagination?
Yeah.
Keep dreamin'
Keep wishin'
Keep waitin' for your day to come
What's this country coming to?
Unrealism
State of confusion
I've seen all I can take

The lyrics of Peace and Silence's song "Imagination" are haunting and powerful. The opening lines, "Time is all we need, time is all we have. Time to heal this land. What God?" reflect the uncertainty and despair present in the world today. The use of the word "God" creates a sense of questioning, as if the singer is unsure of where to go from here. There is a sense of longing in the lyrics, as if the singer is searching for a way to heal and move forward.
The lyrics take a darker turn in the second verse, with the lines "Red, white and blue. They're the colors that I choose. Burn my flag. Watch me kill you." The use of these nationalistic colors in contrast with the violent imagery is jarring and creates a sense of unease. It is a commentary on the violence and destruction that can occur in the name of patriotism.
The final verse of the song contains a note of hope, with the lines "Will I live to see duration? Will I have to see my imagination?" It is a reminder that, despite the challenges faced by society today, there is still room for hope and imagination. The repetition of the phrase "keep dreaming, keep wishing, keep waiting for your day to come" reinforces the idea that there is still a possibility for a better future.
