Stop the War
Softcore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to die
In a goddamn battle
Why giving my life
For the shitty flag?
For one's country?
I would rather to live
In a dream world without borders
Human beings is all what we are
Why dying?
Why keeping?
Holding on this sick abuse
The life which
So many people lost
So much blood into the trash can
I can not understand
How they can believe
The manufactured hate
(Everyday at news)
I don't want to detest
Border friendly countries
I just want to say
I don't believe in war
I don't believe in one's country
Neither in the national (shitty flag)
I know that in the course of time
Somebody will hear us
And the shitty flags will shine with fire
Why dying?
Why keeping?
Holding on this sick abuse
The life which
So many people lost
So much blood into the trash can
Stop the f*****g war!
In Softcore's song "Stop the War", the lyrics are an outcry against the concept of war and its consequences. The opening line, "War, stupid f*****g word," is a strong statement against the very existence of war. The song continues to question the reasoning behind fighting for a "shitty flag" or one's country when the loss of human life, so much blood, and countless suffering are its consequences.
The lyrics highlight the absurdity of manufactured hate, and the news channels that promote it, leading to the animosity between neighboring countries. The artist questions how people can believe in this chaotic and destructive cycle, and instead wishes for living in a dream world without borders. The song's message is all about the importance of human beings and their well-being, staying clear from the idea of patriotism defined by one's country or flag.
The chorus features the repeated questions from the artist as to why people would want to die or hold onto the idea of war, which brings nothing but negative consequences. The song's ending is a call to stop the war and save lives.
