| Breaking Benjamin – You Fight Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is what i think the song is about: People are always fighting each other because they are afraid to lose control or fall behind. "No denying I'm scared to lose the things I love / I'm in Control" They disregard how defenseless or weak the people they are hurting are, because they are so focused on themselves. "I don't know what isn't real / But it's easy to beat me" People fail to realize that we are all essentially on the same side and should be working together to progress ourselves instead of fighting each other. "No time for lies and empty fights I'm on your side" We all know what is wrong in the world but we all wait for someone else to step up and try to fix it instead of doing it ourselves, and when provided with the opportunity to help we just want to be left alone. "Everyone is waiting here for everyone / leave me alone" In the verses, Ben sings as a victim of all this selfishness, but is also guilty of his own selfishness. Then he shifts into a narrative voice saying "This is how it's gonna end", which is saying that if this selfishness continues to corrupt humanity then that is how everything will end. |
