Discover the story of the song > Ricochet – Alkaline

The protagonist in these lyrics is talking about a guy who goes out to fight in a war but ends up hurting himself. He tries to shoot around a corner but ends up shooting himself because the bullet bounces off a wall. The protagonist thinks this guy is stupid. The guy also gets his friends and family involved in the war, but the protagonist doesn't feel sorry for any of them when they get hurt. The protagonist talks about buying his own gun and not panicking because he's prepared. He can track his targets and shoot them anywhere. The guy in the war is foolish for involving others and the protagonist plans to kill him.
