21 Guns(21響禮炮) by Green Day
Green Day樂隊(duì)在1994年涅磐王朝崩塌之后，朋克音樂復(fù)興與另類流行搖滾樂當(dāng)?shù)赖臅r(shí)候，一躍成為了這股風(fēng)潮的中流砥柱，成為了90年代以后最受歡迎的搖滾樂隊(duì)之一，也是美國流行樂朋克復(fù)興中最有影響的樂隊(duì)之一。
歌曲21 Guns闡明了反戰(zhàn)主題。同時(shí)安慰了對曾經(jīng)信任過布什政府如今失望透頂?shù)拿绹罕?。這同時(shí)還是Green Day為《變形金剛2》助陣的插曲，每當(dāng)?shù)綉蛑心信鹘歉星閼驎r(shí)，這首旋律優(yōu)美的歌曲就會(huì)響起。 同時(shí)，這首歌也出現(xiàn)在美劇《吸血鬼日記》第一季第七集結(jié)尾，41分40秒播放的非常優(yōu)美的插曲。
小知識(shí)：
21響禮炮：最早源自海軍軍艦訪問友好國家的港口時(shí)，軍艦會(huì)舷炮齊發(fā)表明船上的炮桶已經(jīng)放空以示友好和和平。從1730年開始，英國皇家海軍決定以21響禮炮作為向王室致敬的禮儀。
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 Throw up your arms into the sky, One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, You and I
