When The Smoke Clears
Love's Battlefield: When Chaos Clears
Lyrics
The sunrise is here
The beginning of a new day, symbolized by the sunrise.
Somehow our truce disappears
A truce or agreement between two parties has vanished or broken.
We fight hard 'til dark
Engaging in intense conflict until the darkness of the night.
Then the smoke from our battle clears
After the battle, the aftermath becomes visible as the smoke clears.
Look through the debris
Examining the wreckage and remnants of the conflict.
Is this all we'll ever be?
Raising the question if this is the extent of what the relationship will ever become.
Maybe we're better apart
Suggesting that separation may be a better option, considering the chaos.
Chaos is all that we see
Chaos dominates the perception of the relationship.
I wish I knew
An expression of desire for understanding or insight.
What we could do
Expressing uncertainty about possible solutions or actions.
Oh I wish I knew
Reiterating the desire for knowledge or insight into the situation.
Talk of the day where we will choose to go or stay (go or stay)
Discussing the future and the choice to either continue the relationship or part ways.
And when I'm with you I know it's always bombs away (bombs away)
When together, the situation often escalates like a bombing mission, implying turbulence.
'Cause I
