I like the message as a philosophical question. Maybe because I have a young son and it's something we talk about quite a bit. To me, it doesn't mean "Put down your weapons and stop fighting" when reality hits. It's deeper than that. Our power maniac leaders using our young as canon fodder for their own games and/or goals. That's not freedom of body nor soul.
But I don't think these lyrics express that message in the most sophisticated way, that's my problem.
You actually might do by equating the political position of a country with the artisitic expression of a single person and his team.I might be putting too much into this, but Switzerland is notorious for staying neutral when it comes to war. (Never mind that staying neutral will only ever benefit the aggressor.) So to enter the contest with a song about being forced to fight a bloody war when you'd rather not, rings incredibly hollow coming from here.
For that, this is the lowest entry of the year, for me.
It's.... fine.
Feels primed for Sacha Jon Bapiste to "elevate" with the most horrifically confusing staging you've ever seen

I‘m not saying you have to like the song but Remo is representing a TV station, not the swiss government.
I think I understand, what you mean.I don't believe I made any claim he was.
With the way things are at the moment, however, there's a heightened awareness of the message when you're choosing to send a song about war. And thus Switzerland, with its neutral stand, should be aware of what that message looks like coming from them.
In my opinion, it rings incredibly hollow.
