The repeated questions challenge us to consider the natural processes that persist amidst human conflict. Bowie juxtaposes youthful innocence with violent realities, suggesting that life—like grass over graves—springs from destruction. This song is a melancholic ode to those lost and the bittersweet nourishment their sacrifices provide to the living, urging listeners to remember and reflect.
