SILENT RUNNING...................................WARRIOR SPIRIT

The song Silent Running, by Mike and the Mechanics, has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it. The following is the lyrics to that song.

*Silent Running *

Take the children and yourself

And hide out in the cellar

By now the fighting will be close at hand

Don't believe the church and state And everything they tell you

Believe in me, I'm with the high command



Can you hear me, can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?



There's a gun and ammunition

Just inside the doorway

Use it only in emergency

Better you should pray to God

The Father and the Spirit

Will guide you and protect you from up here



Can you hear me, can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?



Swear allegiance to the flag

Whatever flag they offer

Never hint at what you really feel

Teach the children quietly

For some day sons and daughters

Will rise up and fight while we stood still



Can you hear me, can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

(Oh, can you hear me running?)

Can you hear me (can you hear me?), can you hear me running?

(Hear me calling, calling...)

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

(Oh can you hear, can you hear me calling?)

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

The question I ask is, "What do you think the message is in these lyrics?" I have seen a couple of sites where it is believed this is a message to us. What do you think?

Date: 6/28/2003 8:51:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 47296    Interesting. I will let some others give their input before I comment.  
Date: 6/28/2003 9:40:00 AM  From Authorid: 36901    When I hear this song, it makes me think of a rise against the establishment. For some strange reason, I thought Phil Collins (maybe when he was with Genesis) sang this song. Do you know if hey/they ever recorded it?  
Date: 6/28/2003 10:01:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 47296    Kilo's Angel, you are very close. Mike Rutherford started the Mechanics as a side project while on hiatus from Genesis, where he was the guitarist.  
Date: 6/28/2003 10:58:00 AM  From Authorid: 19092    I've always liked that tune. And. I've been a genisis fan for years. Their Seconds Out album is great. As to the meaning...I always thought it was about losing freedom and/or freedoms in this country. Kinda like what's happening now...since this war on terror began.  
Date: 6/28/2003 1:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 16671    I feel that its telling us not to use violence unless needed, that we are protected from a higher force and that we should know what that force is with in us and be true to what we believe in, not to trust the flesh and words of man but trust the spirit that dwells in us.  
Date: 6/29/2003 2:13:00 AM  From Authorid: 36901    That explains it. It's very interesting how everyone interprets the song. They all make sense.  
Date: 6/29/2003 10:06:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 47296    OK. I said I would let other's give their thoughts. I know this song was written in the mid 80s, at a time when World War was still a possibility, but also at a time when certain religous leaders were stsrting to become active in government. This one line os the first verse "Don't believe the church and state And everything they tell you", I believe is warning us that the government, as well as the organized churches, will try to tell us things to get us to believe a certain way, in order that we will support what the church or government wants. We are not to belive everything they tell us, but to try and reason for ourselves what is right. I think the second verse tells us we must be prepared to fight if the need arises, but goes on to to tell us that we must trust in that higher power to tell us what is right, and to guide us in our struggle. The third verse I believe is significant of the New World Order, a concept that we first began to hear about in the late 80s. Many do not agree with the concept of the NWO. I believe this verse also tells us that much of eh fighting in the future will be because of this NWO. The UN has been seen by many as the basis and predecessor of the NWO. If the day comes when a New Order does become reality, then there will be a lot of chnges, even in the way our kids are taught. It is up to us to teach our kids what is right and wrong, and to give them the strength that some day they can carry on the true and right battle to regain the rights and freedoms that we enjoyed. I beleive also, where it says "Will rise up and fight while we stood still", that our standing still is us allowing our freedoms and rights to be taken away from us because of us believig what the state, and the church, tell us. Just my take on it. I do enjoy the song though.
