Chris #2 said of all of Anti-Flag’s songs, Brandenburg Gate “is maybe the greatest example of how up for interpretation music can be.”
For him, the song started out as something very personal, and not at all metaphorical, stemming from the recent end of an important relationship. But as the songwri...
[Intro]
I lost my baby to a foreign war
She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world
[Verse 1]
She was livin' in sin, I was livin' in a lie
She was caught up in the glimmer of a rich man's eye
I couldn't see her from the other side
They said son, "There is no glory in your pride."
[Chorus]
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate;
At the Brandenburg Gate, I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate;
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait, I'll wait
[Post-Chorus]
Well, I lost my baby to a foreign war
She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world
[Verse 2]
She was searching for salvation in the things you buy
I was finding all the reason to give up on life
If you love something and give it away
It can't come back unless you're free
[Chorus]
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
[Verse 3]
Somewhere in the in between
Where the east and the west meet
In the 30 year war where I came clean
That's where you will find me
So I'll wait, I'll wait
[Hook]
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate;
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate;
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
(So I'll wait)
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate;
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
(So I'll wait)
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate;
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
So I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
[Outro]
I lost my baby to a foreign war
