My favorite song - 21 Guns

Long time no see, my friends.Last week I was so busy dealing with assignments, tests and presentations, after which I feel a little bit run out of energy. Today, I just came back from Shenzhen after the TOEFL test (April, 23th) and I am quite tired. Only at this point I found that I haven't listen to music for quite a long time. I know that music can make me relaxed and help improve work efficiency, moreover, reduce the pressure on my shoulder, but these weeks I just ignore it, which I think is not quite good for me. So, I'd like to talk about my favorite song - 21 Guns, which is song by green days. 


Following is the lyrics:

Do you know what's worth fighting for,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
You and I 

     The reason why I like this song is because of its theme: against war, which is the ever-existing theme along human kind's history. War do lots of harm to the development of human beings so that I strongly against it. The lyrics in this song reveal the strong opinion from the author that war is unnecessary and harmful, why not use our energy and time to do other things, to build a better world for all humans and for the next generation? The beautiful rhythm and melody have dragged me into those song ever since I listen to it. That is really amazing and fantastic masterpiece from my point of view. I strongly recommend all of you to try listening to this song. God bless all human beings, not suffer from wars anymore.
