now here I stand, I've got no eyes
Got no hands, no arms to embrace
The darkest day, crossed man's way
Can't describe the sorrow in me

missiles never win
Missiles never care
Missiles never win
Missiles

the papers said that we would try
Nuclear weapons we say good-bye
But a few more tests, some islands sink
Jack, we can do without sorrow you bring

missiles never win
Missiles never care
Missiles never win
Missiles

the dead, they cry, do we need more?
Where's the sense? what is it good for?

missiles never win
Missiles never care




Missiles never win
Missiles

Overall Meaning

The song "Missiles" by Warhead is a powerful statement against the use of nuclear weapons and the devastation they bring. The opening lines "Now here I stand, I've got no eyes, Got no hands, no arms to embrace" suggest that the singer is a victim of a destructive attack, left blind and without the ability to comfort or protect loved ones. The following lines "Missiles never win, Missiles never care" drive home the message that these weapons do nothing but cause destruction and chaos, with no concern for the consequences.


The second verse addresses the idea that nuclear weapons testing continues despite the potential risks of harm. The line "But a few more tests, some islands sink" highlights the reality that these tests come at a cost to the environment and human life. The repeated refrain "Missiles never win, Missiles never care" emphasizes the futility and danger of such actions.


The final verse questions the logic of continuing to use nuclear weapons and asks "Where's the sense? What is it good for?" The juxtaposition of the dead crying for an end to the violence and destruction is a powerful image, highlighting the human cost of such actions.


Overall, "Missiles" is a powerful anti-war statement that argues convincingly against the use of nuclear weapons.
