The War Electric Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for The War Electric lyrics by Metal Church

This song explores the theme of being consumed by fear and the destructive power of one's mind, depicting a sense of disbelief and apathy from someone the narrator addresses and suggesting that if this person truly cared, they wouldn't be so scared and paralyzed by their fears. The electric chair mentioned is a metaphor for the self-destructive nature of fear and symbolizes being trapped in one's thoughts and anxieties, leading to a symbolic death of the spirit. Overall, it carries the message about the importance of facing fears head-on rather than letting them control and consume one's life.
