Green Day has left this song; 21 Guns open for interpretation, which means that everyone will have different opinions on what this song is about. To us, this song is about sending home soldiers and is anti-war. In the song 21 Guns it says that we should "lay down our arms" (meaning weapons) and "throw up our arms into the sky" meaning that we should quit with the fighting and move past all of it. Also the line "Does the pain way out the pride?" is saying that we choose to endure many things including "pain" and "pride" and we need to figure out which one has a better reward. 21 Guns written by Billie Joel Armstrong as well as the rest of Green Day was released on May 25th of 2009 on the album 21st Century Breakdown, and is considered to be "Pop Rock".  We selected this song because it has grown to be popular, and has been aired on the radio numerous times. Almost everyone has heard this song at least once, which means that it has had an effect on society.  This song can really be related to any kind of war, whether its the current war going on, a war that has passed, or a war that will happen in the future.
