The Good Fight Lyrics
Consider the odds, consider the obvious
The martyr is meaningless, the campaign has died
In the planning stages and the fallen faces are the singular proofs
That it was ever alive
This purchased rebellion has been outdated
Denounced and rescinded and left to die
Championless, championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you
I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
I begged you not to go
I begged you
I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope A
nd watched the floor as you retreated
Hope has sprung a perfect dive
A perfect day
A perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat
This purchased rebellion has been outdated
Denounced and rescinded and left to die
Championless, championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you
I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
I begged you not to go
I begged you
I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
As you boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who will listen
While you’re left with nothing tangible to gain

Without a champion, duh.
is championless a word?
wow, thanks for clearing that one up. I mean the actual WORD 'championless' I know what he's trying to get at
This is definitely the coolest Dashboard song. I'm not very good in interpreting song meanings but it sounds like he's singing about somebody that gave up something very special in the name of pride and ended up with nothing.
Wow, this song is so amazing and yet compared to the other Dashboard songs on this site this one has barely been viewed.
I'm with you there Duffman. I think because it is not a song that relates with a lot of people's lives so it's not as popular. Once I figure out what he's truly singing about, I think I'm gonna do the exact opposite of what he's saying not to do and then cry and talk about how this song hits me right in the heart. Man, I have good ideas.
I think it's about someone who took the wrong road but they thought it was the right one.
Yeah, its about a girl that gave up on him, for what he sees to be bad reasons I think. This is my song. You were being sarcastic right androach?
I think (s)he's being an arse...
You all are on the right path. I think this girl was acting like she liked this guy. Then when he was prepairing something special like a date or a poem, she sold him out infront of alot of people. To her, he was just a joke. To him, she is missing out on his love. But in the end, he killed them all just like in Carrie! lol...
