I am one with the world tonight
I am proud to be this far from you
You say that you have no regrets
But I know that you do
You told me someone stole the eye
I know him too [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/in_flames/black_and_white.html ]
I've come to the conclusion, yes I know
That between black and white
There is no room for two
The scale it might be wide
But there's no need to be blind
Between black and white there is no room for two
I leave all the grey behind
I see clear, I know that I'll find
You claim that you are innocent
But tell me who aint
You think that you're going to be saved
There's no such thing as a saint
Black and White
There's nothing in between
Black and White
Nothing's what it seems
This song speaks volumes of ideas. Maybe racism or maybe idea of seperation either way it is about two opposing groups and that the other is proud to be different and one with mother earth while the other sees himself to be saved and very ignorant of the world around them. The black and white and suggestion that there is no need for two implies that there(s) is no need for either side and nothing in between implies that there is no compromise. A new idea must be made since t"here is no need to be blind" it "may seem wide" but it's not hard to at least try.
