Why Did We Fire The Gun?
Waldeck Lyrics

The song Why Did We Fire The Gun by Waldeck is a reflection on consequences of actions, regret, and the struggle with coming to terms with the past. The singer asks his listener, presumably a lover, to lay down their head and show their emotions, while he reads them like a book. The conversation between the two is so intense that no words are needed to convey their mutual understanding. The singer takes a moment to reflect and wonders if they had done something wrong in the past. He feels shaken and cannot stop thinking about why they had to fire that gun.

The gun here could refer to a metaphorical, emotional reaction that potentially led to an irreversible mistake. Perhaps it was an argument between the two, a decision made that they could not take back, or something they did that had unintended consequences. The singer's reflections express regret and remorse. He wishes they could go back and undo what they had done, but it is too late. The song creates a melancholic atmosphere that highlights the complexities of human emotions and decision-making.
