HUMAN LEAGUE

- The Lebanon Lyrics

She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame

She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon, the Lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
Weren't we supposed to keep the peace

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon, the Lebanon
The Lebanon, from the Lebanon

I must be dreaming
It can't be true
I must be dreaming
It can't be true

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon, the Lebanon
The Lebanon, from the Lebanon

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the Human League's song 'The Lebanon' depicts the lives of people who were caught up in the conflict of war, and it directly refers to the war in Lebanon. It shows the huge difference between the peaceful past and the present bloody violence, and it raises the question of who the actual winners of war are and what the cost is to the civilian's lives. The lebanon lyrics mainly talk about social commentary, despair, angst, reflection and nostalgia. However, the song also conveys the message of war and conflict, loss and longing, and hope amidst despair.
