Walls of Jericho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Segregated by design
Caught up in a purpose
That disgraces their standards
These actions won't help us end our fight
Progress can't be made by weeding out the majority
Eliminate the source but do not
The color of the oppressor is only
The shortcoming of the disaster
End the sinister accusations
Acknowledge the foresight in which we hold
To end oppression - doing it in an uneducated
Way is not going to end it
It's going to enforce ones reputation
In a disgraceful manner
To segregate us by color
Would be antithetical to
What we are trying to accomplish
The lyrics of Walls of Jericho's song "Playing Soldier Again" discuss the issue of segregation based on race and the consequences of such actions. The first verse talks about how the descendants are separated by design and how they are trapped in a purpose that is not in line with their standards. This could be interpreted as a reference to the institutionalized racism that has existed in many societies. The singer is saying that this kind of segregation won't help us end our fight, and that we need to unite to make progress.
The second verse talks about the importance of not destroying the fighters in our pursuit to eliminate the source of oppression. It addresses the idea that we need to acknowledge the foresight in which we hold and to end oppression in an educated and thoughtful way. The color of the oppressor should not define our response to their actions, and instead of being fueled by anger and resentment, we need to be strategic in our approach.
Finally, the song concludes with a powerful statement against segregation based on color. The singer emphasizes that this kind of discrimination is in opposition to the goals we are trying to achieve. It is antithetical to what we are fighting for and will ultimately only hurt us in the long run. The song is a call to action for unity and equality, and a condemnation of the tactics used to enforce segregation and oppression.
