The Monitor Lyrics

Cover art for The Monitor lyrics by Bishop Allen

"It's stunning to know I've survived But I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore And when I break another string And continue to sing, Is that courage? I'm not sure"

----This song to me talks about how any war, even a just war, can leave men questioning if it was worth it. Also, the song does an excellent job of pointing out "how much it just changed right then and right there". It is often overlooked just how profoundly this first modern naval battle changed the nature of warfare the world over.
