Cover art for War lyrics by Cardigans, The

maybe it's just me, in fact, it probably is just me, but I just always thought of this song as someone telling their significant other that they weren't completely satisfied during sex. I guess it just gives me that impression because of the rhythm and feel of the song, and some of the lyrics such as "come crush me now, don't leave, no one has won this war" and "don't leave me up, alarmed and ready to die"... I guess it COULD be an unresolved argument, but I didn't take the lyrics literally, like I do with most songs... I just immediately thought "unsatisfied during sex".. eh >:)
