Death From Above

Thrice

Transposer:

[Intro] * [Verse 1] I always thought I always thought that there was something different setting us apart That I was led that I was led by men with sober minds and sympathetic hearts I swore an oath swore an oath but never knew just what it was to take a life I play at God play at God across such distances and from so great a height [Chorus] But I am never sure who I am killing How many innocents were in the building? I drop death out of the No longer human beings no longer people Just targets on a screen none of it’s real I drop death out of the sky... Tell me why [Bridge] * [Verse 2] One day they sent one day they sent me to the chaplain when I said I can’t go on All he said all he said was just to shut my mouth and do the "will of God" [Chorus] But I am never sure who I am killing How many innocents were in the building? I drop death out of the No longer human beings no longer people Just targets on a screen none of it’s real I drop death out of the sky... Tell me why [Bridge] Dm Fmaj7 x4 [Outro] Tell me why? "To make us safe" so it would seem But we shoot further than we dream Can’t we see? We only justify Someone’s resolve to rise against And to avenge the innocent And defend the ones that still survive I’m still asking "why?"

La chanson aborde la lutte interne d'un homme pris dans le tourbillon des décisions de vie ou de mort. Il questionne le sens de son rôle, entre devoir et détresse, en provoquant des vies innocentes à distance, perdu dans un contexte où les cibles sur un écran deviennent des numéros et non des êtres humains. L'angoisse de ne pas savoir qui il touche et les conséquences de ses actes le hantent, d'autant plus quand des figures d'autorité semblent réduire ses doutes à un simple "faites la volonté de Dieu". Ce morceau met en lumière la déshumanisation qui peut découler des conflits modernes, où la guerre se mène souvent à distance, loin des réalités des vies détruites. La question centrale "pourquoi ?" résonne comme un cri de désespoir face à une logique de violence justifiée par la sécurité, mais qui engendre plus de souffrances.
