If it were simple
I'd tell you
But there's confusion inside
And here around me
You'd rather avoid it
And maybe it's not your fault
I could try again
But I'm not the one you need to hear
We walk barefoot
On broken glass and then
With dirty hands we touch
We hurt each other
All the signals are busted
Pale, snuffed out in the dark
I could try again
But I'm not the one you need to hear
Listen if your heart's beating
See where you're running and stop
Hear the world's pain
We're lost on the way
Orphans of life
War machines
But why
There's no time left to look
At a star above us
Everything's prepaid, printed
And credited to us
How can you not notice
Not give a d*mn, walk away
With false steps of happiness
But the blood's yours too
Listen if your heart's beating
See where you're running and stop
Hear the world's pain
We're lost on the way
Orphans of life
War machines
But why
We're lost on the way
Orphans of life
War machines
But why

SONG MEANING

Andrea Bocelli’s Macchine Da Guerra is a heartfelt wake-up call wrapped in poetic images. He sings of walking barefoot on broken glass and touching each other with dirty hands, graphic pictures that show how easily we hurt ourselves and the people we love when we move through life on autopilot. The chorus urges us to listen to the heartbeat, slow down, and notice the world’s pain, because without that awareness we become “war machines” – emotionless, pre-programmed, and estranged from real joy.

Behind its soaring melody the song asks a simple question: Why are we letting speed, consumerism, and indifference steal our humanity? Bocelli invites us to look up at the stars again, rediscover empathy, and reclaim the time to feel. It’s both a warning and a promise that if we choose to hear our own hearts – and the hearts of others – we can trade the metallic clank of war machines for the warm rhythm of life.
