Lyrics
Hey girl, what are you fighting for?
Asking the girl about the cause of her struggle or conflict.
Tell them to leave you alone.
Advising her to demand space and be left alone by others.
Surrounded by these unknown walls.
Describing her situation of being surrounded by unfamiliar obstacles.
That everyone forced you to hold.
Referring to burdens imposed on her by everyone around her.
Safely, you walk around in baby steps.
Noting her cautious movement in small steps, perhaps due to fatigue.
So tired that you want to fall.
Expressing her exhaustion to the point of wanting to collapse.
One eye squinting through the door,
Describing her vigilant observation with one eye through a door.
What you know is already gone.
Stating that what she knew or had is already gone.
Long forsaken, surrounded by the unknown.
Highlighting her abandonment and being surrounded by the unknown.
Who will save the tiny part that’s left from her?
Pleading for someone to save the remaining fragile part of her.
Hoarse whispers reaching out with cries for help.
Describing desperate whispers seeking assistance.
She says: “Don’t turn around, you are all I have.”
Her plea to not abandon her, as the person addressed is all she has.
Baffled and confused
Expressing confusion and bewilderment.
Collecting pieces of what we had.
Trying to reconstruct what was lost or broken in the relationship.
Nothing will make me whole.
Realizing that nothing can fill the emotional void.
You were all that's left from me
Acknowledging that the person addressed was everything she had.
Hey boy, what are you fighting for?
Asking the boy about the motive behind his struggle.
You strive for what you’ve never had….
Noting his ambition for something he has never experienced.
Leave it to the hands of fate.
Suggesting to leave things to fate as others have advised.
Like everyone has told you before.
Emphasizing the lack of substance in what remains for him.
There is no essence to all that's really left from you.
Highlighting the absence of true value in what's left for him.
It’s your voice that you should really listen to.
Encouraging him to pay attention to his own voice and instincts.
So don't turn your back on what you've had.
Advising not to turn away from what he once had.
Hold me tight, I can stay like this forever.
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection and intimacy.
So your breath and smell, will stick to me again.
Desiring the physical and emotional closeness to linger.
Beating voices slowly leave me breathless.
Describing the fading impact of conflicting inner voices.
Soon I’ll see you, forever you're the same, it will all be the same.
Anticipating a reunion where everything will remain unchanged.
Baffled and confused
Reiterating the theme of confusion and puzzlement.
Losing pieces of what we had.
Continuing to lose parts of what was once shared.
Nothing will make me whole.
Acknowledging the impossibility of becoming whole again.
You were all that's left from me
Reaffirming that the person addressed was everything he had.
Baffled and confused
Repeating the sense of bewilderment and confusion.
Losing pieces of what we had.
Further losing fragments of the shared past.
Nothing will make me whole.
Reiterating the inability to find completeness.
You were all that's left from me
Affirming that the person addressed was all that remained for him.
