War Begun Lyrics

[Jackets N Pones]

What do they mean?

[millerjustin]

Good question.

Vague enough to be open to interpretation, but I think the song is a reflection on the human condition and expresses an understanding of how certain people can stand out from the rest of us. 



Stolen as the war begun, this time your soul is my one.
I belong to a race of robots, drownin out my one.
Anytime your war gets out of hand i'll take it on.
Stolen as the wars begun, this time your soul is my one.
I'd move on, but i know you'll need me some day.
I'd roll on, but i know you'll need me some day.

Stolen as the wars begun, this time your soul is my one.
I'd move on, but i know you'll need me some day.
I'd roll on, but i know you'll need me some day.

I gotta believe there is more to the syntax than the meaning. The modern Bernie Taupin. Imagery and flow more than overall meaning.

So it's not about a robot war?

So it's not about a robot war?

It's definitely about a robot war-on one level. You might say it's allegorical in nature. It's also about all that other stuff mentioned above.

Thanks everyone

[Stevie]

lol.. thank you, Parkervb.

This is one of my favorite songs, ever, and I've honestly never thought about the meaning all that much.  I think the most obvious theme is a unique bond between two people, to the point where one is willing to struggle with and for the other.  I really like your interpretation, Rambler, I'll have to ponder this one some more.
