I believe in little things
That you can hardly see
Like honeycomb and spider webs
And starfish in the sea
I believe in little things
Like icy drops of rain
That melt into the morning mist
When winds are warm again
I believe in little things
Like colors in the sky
And noticing the waves roll in
And how the flowers die
Knowing they’ll be back again
Whenever it’s July
I believe in little things
Like you and me
And just how big
Little things can be

Neptune rules glamour (among other things).
Glamour, as in the old sense of fairy glamour, wherein one can mask their true appearance or hide from view. It can mean appearing as something they chose, appearing as whatever you project onto them, or disappearing from view altogether.
Think: veil, fog, mist.
Jupiter rules revelation (among other things).
Think: lightning bolt.
Together, they make things interesting.

This song is very much in the same vein as the Sword in the Museum idea. (Neither 21 guns nor the sword in the museum need be about literal war. It’s about thinking if what you are doing is right for you.)
If only they’d said, “Let go the fight” instead of “Give up the fight”- because “let go” is what they really mean. They’re not saying, “Give up, we’re beaten, we surrender.” They’re saying, “This struggle is destroying everything we stand for and care about in the first place, including our own identities, and we’re ready to let it go.”
Letting go is not giving up!
I’m going to keep saying that…
A 21 gun salute is to empty out the guns to show that we have let go of hostile intentions. It is also the highest honor a country renders to its heroes- those who distinguished themselves in bravery and sacrifice during battle (or in the making of the peace). We can let go of the battle while still remembering, honoring, and learning from battles fought.
