Fight 'em Off
Emotional Struggle Unveiled: 'Fight 'em Off' by Ex Post Facto
Lyrics
Can’t count all the ways
Expressing difficulty in quantifying the various ways
I made you feel hurt
Acknowledging causing emotional pain to someone
I miss you when I
Expressing a sense of longing when separated
Get lost in the dirt
Feeling lost or confused in challenging situations
It's not my fault
Denying personal responsibility for the circumstances
The circumstances
Indicating external factors influencing the situation
Don't wake me up
Preferencing not being disturbed or awakened
Don't like my chances
Expressing a pessimistic view of one's chances or odds
I can’t fight ‘em off
Stating an inability to resist or confront challenges
I can’t fight ‘em off
Reiterating the inability to resist or confront challenges
For you
Clarifying that the inability to resist is for someone specific
I need you want you
Expressing a need and desire for the person in question
I'm hooked to the past
Indicating a strong emotional connection to the past
But if I find you
Expressing the expectation that finding the person will have a fleeting impact
The feeling won't last
Suggesting that the positive feeling won't endure
I can’t fight ‘em off
Reiterating the inability to resist or confront challenges, specifically for the person
I can’t fight ‘em off
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle against challenges for the person
For you
Clarifying that the ongoing struggle is for someone specific
When I'm up til dawn
Describing being awake until dawn
I can't write my song
Expressing difficulty in creating music or expressing oneself
break my heart and run
Referring to heartbreak and the idea of fleeing from emotional pain
the same dream on and on
Describing a recurring dream or pattern
I can’t fight ‘em off
Reiterating the ongoing struggle against challenges
And I can’t fight ‘em off
Emphasizing the continuous difficulty in resisting challenges
I can’t fight ‘em off
Repeating the theme of the ongoing struggle against challenges
And I can’t fight ‘em off
Emphasizing once again the persistent difficulty in resisting challenges
For you
Reiterating that the ongoing struggle is for someone specific
