Give Up the War
Embracing the Battle Within: Starflyer 59's Call to Courage
Lyrics
I read what they write
I am aware of what others express in writing
God's men of before
Referring to religious figures or leaders from the past
It's simply that I am still afraid
I still feel fear
To give up the war
Reluctant to abandon the conflict or struggle
I've played all the chords
I have played various musical chords
And I guess I get bored
Repetition of musical patterns becomes monotonous
I want to do it right
Desire to live a morally upright life
Be someone like Paul
Aspire to be a person like the biblical figure Paul
It's simply that he was not afraid
Paul was fearless, contrasting with the speaker
He never gave up the war
Paul never gave up the spiritual battle
And live when you're down
Endure hardships and challenges
And live when you're always leaving
Continue living even during difficult times and constant departures
I want to be things
Expresses a desire to achieve certain things
Always living
Striving for a life of continuous existence
Pressing on
A commitment to persist and move forward
I know what they saw
Awareness of what others perceive
And I know there's the law
Acknowledgment of societal rules and regulations
It's simply that I am still afraid
Despite awareness, there's still fear
I want to give up the war
Desire to let go of the inner conflict
I've played all the chords
Reiteration of playing musical chords, possibly symbolizing life experiences
It doesn't matter at all
Realization that certain things don't matter
And live when you're down
Enduring and living through difficult times
And live when you're always leaving
Perseverance despite constant departures
I want to be things
Desire to achieve specific things in life
Always living
Striving for continuous and meaningful living
Pressing on
Commitment to pressing on, moving forward
Always leaving
Emphasis on constant departures or separations
I want to be things
Desire to achieve certain goals and aspirations
Always living
Aspiration for continuous and meaningful living
Pressing on
Commitment to pressing on, moving forward
I want to be things
Continuation of the aspiration to be certain things
