Union 13 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Common sense is scare now that we really need it
The scales tip on stupid
The ignorant outnumber those still care (Still care)
It didn't have to end this way
With everyone in conflict tomorrow is another day
Let's see what grows out it as we watch from the other side
Space expansion will go on
With or without all of us around.
The answer is really simple
A forward motion not a reversible spindle
Powered by violence and bad thoughts all around
For your sake and mine
Take a deep breath and try!
The lyrics of Union 13's song "Try" address the notion that life is not being taken seriously anymore. The opening line, "life is a joke or at least that's how we treat it," highlights this idea. The lack of common sense is mentioned as a problem when it's really needed. The situation is further compounded because those who still care are outnumbered by ignorance. The scales are tipped to favor stupidity. The lyrics are written in a way that conveys disappointment and resignation.
The song mentions how things could have been different before they got so out of hand. The conflict is consuming everyone, but the hope is that things will change in the future. The lyrics suggest that instead of fighting, it would be better to watch from the other side and see what takes place. In other words, taking a step back may provide a better perspective. Unfortunately, mistakes are outnumbering chances, and eventually, space expansion will go on with or without humans.
The answer to this problem is presented as a simple solution. The song suggests that everyone should stop and take a breath. Instead of a reversible spindle powered by violence and bad thoughts, forward motion is needed. By taking a deep breath and trying, it's is possible to move forward.
The song "Try" has an important message, and the lyrics are written in a way that is relatable to many people. It offers a hopeful solution and encourages listeners to be more mindful of their actions.
