In this song, the main character is at war with the world. Even though he has no fortress, castle, or military aid, he is confident that he will most certainly win the war. As the song progresses, it talks more and more about the fighting. However, the song fails to clarify what the main character is fighting for. In one verse, it talks about him “fighting to be free,” but neglects to clarify what this means. Why is he truly at war with the world? This song could be more appropriately used in a warning of a Zombie attack :), as it never makes the characters intentions clear. Some Foreigner songs talk about a relationship, but some talk about obscure topics like these. Even if I try my best to interpret it, I am unable to. From the song, I can conclude that the character is at war with the world, but why, how, when, and where? In my opinion, I find this song to be less thought out than the rest of the songs that I enjoy listening to by Foreigner. The only reason I analyze this song is because I am going through my CDs and writing about every song on there. “At War With The World” lacks a deeper meaning to the lyrics.
