Guns Are For Cowards
Young And Lost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Civilize we are but all I see and hear are crimes
And lies to hide the truth from people and their cries
Says " Why, it had to be someone I cared about. "

A nine year old girl killed by her father
Nice proof of love, and imagine if everyone would love like this
3 children raped by their neigboor
There's too many sick minds, justice must be done.

Killing someone doesn't prove that you are strong
It just means that you are weak

Gun's are for cowards, give yourselves flowers

In their eye tears are falling down to hell with their lives
With no pride left they are only trying to survive
Too much blood of innocent people as been opread

Bikers are mad so they play war
Shooting everyone who dares to stand in their way
Corrupted policeman who abuses his power
Too many sick minds Justice must be done





Together we'll unite and we'll stop the fight
And peace will reign here.

Overall Meaning

The song "Guns Are For Cowards" by Young and Lost is a powerful critique on the current state of society, where violence and crime have become commonplace. The lyrics talk about how, despite being a civilized society, all we see and hear are crimes and lies to hide the truth from people and their cries. The song points out some harrowing examples of this - a nine-year-old girl killed by her father, 3 children raped by their neighbor, and too many innocent lives taken away by senseless acts of violence.


The chorus of the song makes a clear statement about guns being for cowards and encourages people to give themselves flowers instead. The lyrics suggest that killing someone doesn't prove that you are strong; it only means that you are weak. The verses of the song talk about people being brought to their knees with tears falling down to hell with their lives, and how they are only trying to survive with no pride left.


However, the song does end on a hopeful note with the idea that if "together, we'll unite and we'll stop the fight," peace will reign.
