Without a Fight
(216) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They want to strip you
Of the one thing
Bring on your downpour
Toast the scapegoat
Magnify the eyesore
Back once more
This time to even the score
See to it that they can't ignore
This declaration of war

Taint provokes all purity
Contaminates the soul
Pain evokes these memories
That cannot be controlled
The jaded face of yesterday
Readies to attack
They say this is the price we pay
I say no turning back

Look into these eyes
Don't you realize
There's a life inside
That will not die without a fight

Taint provokes all purity
Contaminates the soul
Pain evokes these memories
That cannot be controlled
The jaded face of yesterday
Readies to attack
They say this is the price we pay
I say no turning back

Look into these eyes
Don't you realize
There's a life inside
That will not die without a fight

They want to strip you
Of the one thing
Bring on your downpour
Toast the scapegoat
Magnify the eyesore
Back once more
This time to even the score
See to it that they can't ignore
This declaration of war

I say no turning back

Look into these eyes
Don't you realize
There's a life inside
That will not die without a fight


That will not die without a fight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of (216)'s song "Without a Fight" are a call to arms, urging the listener to stand up against those who want to strip them of their identity and purity. The lyrics start with a description of the forces that are trying to bring the singer down, to strip them of the one thing that defines them. They are urging the listener to fight back and declare war with this declaration of war.


The second verse talks about how the pain of the past can't be controlled and how it contaminates the soul. The jaded face of yesterday means that the singer has been through the worst but is ready to fight back. They refuse to turn back and proclaim that there's a life inside that will not die without a fight.


In the chorus, the singer reiterates the point that their life will not die without a fight. They urge the listener to look into their eyes and realize that there's more to them than what meets the eye. The song ends with the singer declaring that they will not turn back and a repetition of the line, "that will not die without a fight."

Verse 1: Brad Paisley]
There's a tangled mess of sheets on the bed
A lack of sleep poundin' in my head
We both regret some of the things we said
But we love the way it ends

[Pre-Chorus 1: Brad Paisley & Both]
Sometimes I think
We hurt each other just because of where it'll lead
And sometimes I think
We're fighting just to be lovers and all so needlessly

[Chorus: Both]
Good as we are at gettin' it on
How come we just can't get along?
The way we love, it don't seem right
The way we fuss, the way we fight
I got a crazy idea, how 'bout maybe tonight
We make up without a fight

[Verse 2: Brad Paisley, Demi Lovato & (Both)]
They say don't go to bed angry, that's true
But it's really something when we do
(Madder you make me, the more I want you)
Girl, I admit


[Pre-Chorus 2: Both, Demi Lovato & (Brad Paisley)
Sometimes I think
It couldn't be any better
(And I couldn't want you more)
And sometimes I think
We don't belong together
Confusing love and war

[Chorus: Both]
Good as we are at gettin' it on
How come we just can't get along?
The way we love, it don't seem right
The way we fuss, the way we fight
I got a crazy idea, how 'bout maybe tonight
We make up without a fight

[Bridge: Brad Paisley, Demi Lovato & (Both)]
We ain't givin' up without a fight
We can make up without a fight
(No, we ain't givin' up, we can make up)

[Outro: Both]
Good as we are at gettin' it on
How 'bout maybe tonight
We make up
We make up without a fight
