Black Eyed Peas: Where is the love? Meaning
Where is the love? Lyrics
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists...

#1 top rated interpretation:everyone here thinks this song is about the war in iraq. that is but a small part of the true meaning of this song. this song refers to the fight against racism that took place in our country. it talks about how kids are getting involved in gangs and caught up in a whole lot of crap that should be avoided. people are being killed form these decisions people are being hurt nothing good is coming from the surplus of hate that this country has for numerous and absurd things such as war in iraq when we should not be there anymore. we are worrying about problems that are occurring in other countries rather than fixing out situation. we need to fix our situation. we cant be going to war as it says in the song "if you practice what you preach then you turn the other cheek" this is not only referring to war but also minor issues that take place here in the united states whether it be racism or anything at all. this song is basically calling out all of the hatred and all of the un-needed crap that takes place in todays society

#2 top rated interpretation:I think the song is about lack of love in the world and how everybody is causing madness. I think the point of the song is to make people realise that we should be spreading love and not hate and stop discriminating each other and causing world havoc. They are expressing all issues and saying it in. meaningful and emotive way to get listeners to understand this major problem.

#3 top rated interpretation:It is about the disintergration of society's values.
Examples:
"But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah"
Racism is being expressed in violent/humiliating methods nowadays.
"As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction"
Materialism is getting more common. Making money seems to be the most important thing in people's minds now.
"Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema"
It seems that the youth are easily influenced by the media. This leads to the rise in juvenile crime and violent acts. -

I think, the song "Where is the Love " it showing or it tells us where is the love. He find the love that he didn't find to the people who he loves. It tells us that love is important and love is free, so why the others can't give their love. Love is free to give so give it free.

There is a range of poetic sources in this song such as similes, repetition and alliteration. For similes, there is a part that said: “that election looks like a joke” this is allowing us to make an image in our head of what is the election like. Next is repetition, there are some examples in it such as “Father, Father, Father, where is you love gone?” this part is making us think why the song repeated “Father” and the meaning of it. The last language feature I found is alliteration, the example for this is, “What happened to the love and the values of humanity? (Where's the love?) What happened to love and fairness and equality? (Where's the love?) Instead of spreading love, we're spreading animosity (Where's the love?) Lack of understanding leading us away from unity” this part is asking us questions to think for the answer and understand the author's purpose of this song. These are the three main language features that made this protest song an inspirational song to many people and me.

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists... -
This song is about peace, yun lang (para sa akin lol). When a dog is a dog its a dog but when its not a dog then its not a dog.

The message of the song is talking about how people are worrying about situations in the US like when the song says" overseas, yeah, we try stop terrorism when we still got terrorists"

Sa lahat ng makakabasa nito, nawa'y maisa-isip at maisa-puso ninyo ang tunay na kahulugan ng awiting ito. Ang PAGMAMAHAL sa kapwa. Sa pamagat pa lamang ng awiting ito ay malalaman na natin ang ibig nitong iparating. Kailangan nating mahalin ang ating kapwa dahil ang pagmamahal lamang ang tanging magdadala sa atin sa magandang paraiso sa kabilang buhay.
