Interpretation of Green day's song "21 guns"

Summary

The song is about fighting a good fight, but not the fights unworthy of fighting for. You only got one life, and just one 21 gun salute, avail of it. Live your life an honorable life and give up the petty things.

You should know what/who you are living for. Live for yourself. If you're living for someone else, what will happen to you if that person leaves you? And you can't run to your family and friends anymore because they've already warned you of that predicament, and running to them would only mean eating your pride and proving them right. You'll just be alone. And all you'd be are ruins. Ruins of what you and your significant other used to be.

Reading beyond the lines

This song is about loving someone who people think is out of your league. But you love that someone so much that you are willing to lose everything that you have and don't mind everything that people say about that person because you know that you love that person. And you're sure that that person loves you too. And you feel like everything is magical,mystical and very out of this world. That is how you feel when you're really in love, when the words and adjectives in the world cannot describe how it feels like.

Being in LOVE with someone is light years away from being in a relationship with someone.
