Combat Fatigue
Harmony Beyond ConflictLyrics
We don't have to start a fight,
We can avoid conflict.
'Cause I'll be down on my knees all night,
Expressing willingness to compromise or make amends.
When it breaks it's the same old thing,
Referring to the recurring pattern of problems.
It never changes anything.
Suggesting that conflicts don't lead to positive change.
The lessons I know best seems it's the one that's easy to forget,
Reflecting on the tendency to forget important lessons.
Didn't think I had to tell you, I thought you'd know,
Assuming understanding without explicit communication.
You're not insane or alone.
Reassuring someone of their sanity and shared experiences.
It's too late for my tired eyes,
Expressing weariness or exhaustion.
Yeah we could go around like this all night,
Suggesting a prolonged disagreement.
If we'd just end it where we left it,
Proposing resolution by ending the dispute where it began.
Yeah in the morning we'll forget all about it.
Anticipating the ability to forget the conflict the next day.
I wonder what I said there,
Expressing uncertainty about previous statements.
Seems like everything I say is all wrong,
Feeling misunderstood or that words are often misconstrued.
And those words don't mean anything,
Casting doubt on the significance of spoken words.
I don't see why they live so long.
Questioning the longevity of meaningless words.
And we don't have to start a fight,
Reiterating the possibility of avoiding a fight.
No we don't have to start a fight,
Emphasizing the avoidance of conflict.
Oh we don't have to start a fight,
Repeating the desire to prevent a fight.
Oh let's not start a fight.
Encouraging the avoidance of a conflict.
