@derharkil Idk how people can misunderstand it though its kinda in plain sight. But I woulding listen to this to get pumped up idk what that dude was talking about =/
@bsully77 No, not really. This song is about the struggles of soldiers and the absurdity of war for the men on the lines. Literally the entire song is about him struggling with the things he has to do and how he misses his family. Is his family proud of him or are they ashamed? Is he doing the right thing?
How you get anti-war out of any of these lyrics is beyond me. Maybe because it sucks for the solider? Either way, you're wrong :-/
@wigglz1 that is ofc correct, but we do not behave like human beings at all time. I mean people hating each other for colour of the skin, religious views and so on.
As Ghandi once said " An eye for an eye makes the whole world turn blinde." We should just stop living in a small box and start lookin at things from all the sides of the coin.
Imagine being a marine and listening to this right as you're going into battle!Just thinking about it sends chills up my spine!I'm proud of All the men and women who help defend the U.S.A HOORAH MARINES!
Everlast is an artist for the ages, his words play on your emotions from one end of the spectrum to the other. This along with several of his other songs really make you look at the human aspect of all....... good or bad, take your pick but, you cannot deny many od his songs that.
People swallow all the bullshit media feeds you. Whatever happened to treat people how you want to be treated..... If they want to chop our heads off and plant IEDs in our bodies to kill more soldiers.... why not chop there heads off and plant bombs in there bodies to kill more terrorists. If they dont want to follow geneva conventions why should we? Thats why we loose thats why this war is not a war but an attrition with all the rules of engagement we are practically using peacetime tactics.
@jakeekaj9902 we he a higher ethical standard do unto others as you want done to yourself just because the take the low road why should we when we give up are morals that's when we are no better then them
@cheesebaloni I don't think you can put a title on the music Everlast makes because he's on awhole new level of his own!!!He's on top of his shit on these songs for sure!
For anyone who cleaves to the romantic orthodoxy that the troops in the VOLUNTEER military are helpless pawns in rich men's games, consider Abu-Gharib, the footage of soldiers in Farenheit 9/11, or numerous other instances space limits me from listing (one excellent source I must mention, however, is Arundhati Roy's 2003 article in the Guardian "The Algebra of Infant Justice.") For fine portrait of the strength and courage of decent INDIVIDUAL youth in similar binds, read Cormac McCarthy.
i havent been to anwhere near a war-zone ever, i just heard and read stuff about it from news or tv or been there done that friends, but when I heard this song today, i friggin made me cry and scream! not to mention ppl know me would refer to me as a taugh guy.
Everlast will never lose his artistic edge.
His song 'What it's like' is the reason I started playing guitar.
