This song has been one of my favorites for a long time. Nickelback does an amazing job with not only making their music fun, upbeat, and classy; they also provide lyrics that mean more than what they appear. This song is sending multiple messages about the American society and its individuals.
The first four lines of the song say, "One more depending on a prayer and we all look away people pretending everywhere it's just another day." Everyday there are people praying for help on the streets and we just turn our heads because it isn't "our" problem. It actually is our problem since we do live in a global society. If you know anything about the psychology of a society, you know every detail is interconnected.
This song also speaks of war and how Americans know it goes on around us, yet we turn off the tv or our minds from it since it is happening across the world. Nickleback sings of how our society is apathetic to the poor, the wounded, and the hungry. If we all stand together, we could change our society around.
This video is the official lyrics video and I thought it would have more meaning the official music video. Enjoy!
