We Are
din_fiv Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One world, two sides
Who is wrong, who is right
What's yours, what's mine
Only shades of black and white

One self, two minds
One desires, one decides
What is wrong, what is right
Only shades of black and white

We are young
We are old
We are helpless
We are strong
We are islands in an endless sea

We are lost
We are found
We are hunter and the hunted
We are objects of obscurity

One life, little time
No one knows the reason why
People come, people go
Here today, gone tomorrow

We are alive
We're not alone
We can survive
If we are one
In a million years
Are we still victims of our fear

We are free
What we are to believe
Is what we will become
We are day, we are night
We are death, we are life
We are skin, we are blood
We are hate, we are love

We are fire, we are stone
We are flesh, we are bone
We are moon, we are sun
We are tool, we are gun
We are rain, we are snow
We are reap, we are sow
We are rich, we are poor
We are peace, we are war

We are Heaven




We are Hell
We are

Overall Meaning

the dichotomy of existence, the constant struggle of opposing forces within us and in the world around us. The lyrics explore the theme of duality - the good and bad, the light and dark, the right and wrong. The first verse sets the tone by highlighting the opposing sides in the world and how it's often mistaken to be black and white, while in reality, it's only shades of gray.


The second verse delves deeper into the individual struggle of desires and decisions. We are torn between doing what we want and what's right, and again, the contrast between the shades of gray is emphasized. The chorus brings in a unifying and hopeful message - we are all in this together, we are all part of the same world, and there's strength in unity. Despite the many contradictions we face, we are all connected and can survive if we stand together.


The rest of the lyrics go on to list various opposites that exist and coexist within us and in the world around us. The final lines, "We are Heaven, we are Hell, we are everything and nothing," encapsulate the overarching theme of the song - the complexity and duality of existence.
