Song Meaning of “What Have We Done – 78 Edits Remix” by Mike James Kirkland
This song by Mike James Kirkland is a heartfelt and soul-searching call to the world to change and take responsibility for the trajectory of our collective and individual lives. It speaks of a heavy burden- a burden of responsibility to acknowledge the lives we have lived, especially for those times when we have hurt others.
The heart of this song lies in its chorus – “What have we done, what have we done? Oh, what have we done?” – Kirkland is asking us to reflect on the impact of our decisions and take ownership of our actions. It is an evocative plea to us all to make amends with the people we have hurt and take responsibility for our actions.
The somber mood of the song captures the sorrowful tone of this deep reflection. The lyrics, frank, but hopeful, build to a chorus of regret and humility, and a plea for a more conscientious future.
It is a reminder to us all that we must be accountable for our actions and strive to do better in the future for ourselves and for those around us.
