I know, the first thing you hear "21 Guns", the image of Green Day starts popping out in your mind!
HOLD ON...!!!
The first time I've heard this song I've felt moved as if my spirits were lifted up, in other words, this song is uplifting. Okay, before you start commenting...let's have a look at the lyrics.
The chorus goes like this:
One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 Guns Throw up your arms into the sky
Alright, what really caught my attention was throw up your arms into the sky.
Everyday, we try to solve our own problems on our own, things always turns out ugly.
Therefore, it is right for us to humble ourselves and throw up your arms to God!
God doesn't make the problem disappear but He does give us the strength and encouragement that we need to solve it.
Here's another part of the lyrics:
Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's built to last You're in ruins
Here we can see that our problems can sometimes be the biggest issue in our lives, they may destroy you if you don't solve them or you try other methods besides God to overcome them, but of course it never works!
Now go back to the chorus and feel the message which is trying reach you...
Give up the fight, throw up your arms...to Our Wonderful Counselor !
Another thing to bear in mind is that we must try love one another as you would to yourself.
Forgive others for their wrong-doings towards us.
"21 Guns" is truly a beautiful song if you try understand it and the theme of the song is...LOVE !!!
