The Good Fight
Eternal Battles: Embracing Life's Trials in 'The Good Fight'
Lyrics
If tomorrow never comes, if none of it was real
Doubting the reality of existence and experiences if there's no tomorrow.
Just the dreams of angels, and the devil's deals
Suggesting that life could be a mix of divine aspirations and negative influences.
If nobody begins to sing another prayer
Questioning if anyone will start a new hopeful expression or action.
A wild dog howling something only hearts can hear
A heartfelt communication that might only resonate with deeply empathetic individuals.
If the clouds are coming over, and the storm is rolling in
Describing a moment of impending trouble or hardship.
I still meant what I told you, I'd do it all again
Reaffirming the sincerity of past promises despite challenges.
If tomorrow never comes, if this was just a test
Revisiting the uncertainty of the future and life's purpose.
A marble in the ether, a temporary fix
Comparing life to something transient and superficial.
If nothing ever happens, if nobody awakes
Contemplating the absence of meaningful events or awakenings.
To kiss another lover, to love so hard it hurts
The longing for intense, passionate experiences.
If the curtain's really closing, and the crowd begins to stand
Portraying an ending and a gathering acknowledgment of that ending.
I still meant what I told you, I'd do it all again
Reiterating the commitment to past intentions despite closure.
If we don't ever make it, if we never become
Reflecting on the uncertainty of achieving recognition or significance.
Something to remember, a legendary love
Desiring to create a memorable and extraordinary love.
If everything is stardust, and we burn and disappear
Questioning the significance of existence if everything ends without impact.
No one leaning toward us, struggling to hear
Feeling isolated and unnoticed in a vast universe.
And if none of it is lasting, and if nobody believes
Expressing doubt about lasting impact, understanding, and belief.
In real understanding, forgiveness and release
Highlighting the absence of genuine empathy, forgiveness, and liberation.
And if we don't ever find it, a truth so briefly held
Contemplating the fleeting nature of finding profound truths.
What's the use of kindness, in such an ugly world?
Questioning the relevance of kindness in a harsh reality.
What's the use of laughing, at such an awful hour?
Wondering about the value of joy during difficult times.
What's the use of asking god for something more?
Questioning the efficacy of seeking divine intervention or guidance.
Maybe in this moment, everything is kept
Considering the coexistence of opposing emotions and experiences.
Gilded light and darkness, loving and regret
Reflecting on the blend of beauty and regret in life.
The battle and the brake lights, the flashing of a hand
Depicting the struggles and chaotic moments encountered.
Reaching with a jackknife, or comforting a friend
Illustrating contrasting actions of aggression and comfort.
Then I guess that it's alright if I don't know how it ends
Accepting the uncertainty of the future and its outcomes.
The battle is a good fight and I'd do it all again
Embracing life's challenges as a worthy, meaningful endeavor.
