The bells at the end makes it seem almost dream-like, which I think fits in so well because isn't this how we view our memories? Our memories, if you think about it, do seem like a dream, something far away and out of reach. The lightness of the sound of the bells at the end, and the simplicity of the repetitive guitar riffs, paired so well with the heaviness that this song represents like loss or grief or endings, or however you interpret it. What this song means is completely subjective because the lyrics are so personal and yet a bit vague so it gives the song a more flexible interpretation but still have an effect on us.Īs for me, I think this song is so beautifully written, it might not be very deep or philosophical, but I just think it's so poetic. Music videos are merely like an accessory to songs, something to make it stand out more, to catch your attention, not something that defines the song. Qwerty from UkI don't think you guys should base the meaning of the song on the music video.Shelby from El Paso, TxThe only reason she yelled at him was because she didn't approve of him signing up for war, which lead to the release of 21 guns, where it shows him returned, but never the same.My soul drinks in the falling twilight and the scent of leaf mulch I put this song on and I am awake again. The moon, suffocated through the hot months by air as thick as a cloak, suddenly looks silver, cold and free. The end of September brings a deep relief and a subtle delight as the rains begin to sweep in off the ocean, the leaves start to fall, and the mists cling to the valleys. Every year, come summer's end, I feel emotionally and physically exhausted. I struggle deeply with summer - the heat, the noise, the bustle wear me down like paint thinner. I was born on the last day of September, so it strikes a very literal chord. It's always felt a very personal song to me, but for reasons very different to the author. James from The NorthAnd here is the beauty of music: I've gone 13 years without knowing the inspiration behind this song.He is not the same man that his wife said goodbye to that day. Instead, he is changed by war, at first he was a lively soul ready and eager to serve his country for the greater good, but instead he is put through horrific scenarios, and in "21 guns" he is made into a bitter, hardened realist, knowing the horrors of war. But the lyrics "wake me up when September ends" could be referencing to his dischargement at the end of September, where he would come back to the love of his life. The girl obviously knows what horror war is and urges him not to go, when he refuses, she yells and lets him go.

The day I lost the girl that that after her death altered my life forever.
