Fight
Embracing Peace Amidst Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
We wake up different, rifle through our dreams
We experience a change upon waking and explore our aspirations in our sleep.
Another placid day ripples at the seams
A calm day is disrupted by subtle disturbances.
Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right
Questioning whether one avoids confrontation because they believe the other is right or to avoid conflict.
Or 'cause I don't want to fight?
-Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right
-Or 'cause I don't want to fight?
-So tangle-minded then so becalmed
Describing a confused and calm state, reminiscent of a subway environment that is transient.
It's all so subway grim and then it's gone
-Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right
Reiteration of the internal conflict, questioning the motive behind avoiding a fight.
Or 'cause I don't want to fight?
-Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right
-Or 'cause I don't want to fight?
-Oh, go ahead and fight
An encouragement or permission to engage in a fight.
Oh, we get so weary, taking fish off hooks
Expressing the difficulty of removing oneself from challenging situations, not as easy as it appears.
It's not as effortless as it may look
-Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right
Continued reflection on the motivation for avoiding conflict.
Or 'cause I don't want to fight?
-Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right
-Or 'cause I don't want to fight?
-Oh, fight
An emphasis on the act of fighting.
We lay down seething, smell our pillows burn
Describing a state of intense emotion, perhaps anger, before falling asleep and failing to learn from experiences.
And drift off to the place where you'd think we'd learn
-Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right
Repeating the internal struggle regarding the decision to engage in a fight.
Or 'cause I don't want to fight?
-Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right
-Or 'cause I don't want to fight?
-Oh, go ahead and fight
Encouraging or allowing the expression of conflict.
I give, oh, I give, I said, I give
Expressing a sense of giving up or surrendering.
