War
Ahmir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold the line and shoot the blame
There’s something in us can’t let go
We’ve changed
Words don’t come easily anymore
And when they do
They come out wrong
And we fight
Like there’s a war going on
We fight like guns and daggers are drawn
We fight all night and into the dawn
And wonder what went wrong
And we’re at war
And we’re at war
Bitter tasting
Kisses from your lips
Empty spaces between us still
Chorus:
And we fight
Like there’s a war going on
We fight like guns and daggers are drawn
We fight all night and into the dawn
And wonder what went wrong
And we’re at war
And we’re at war
Won’t someone wave the white flag
There’s a chance we might still last
Retreat and get back on track
All we want is our love back
Don’t want us to be strangers
Is still love you
Chorus:
And we fight
Like there’s a war going on
We fight like guns and daggers are drawn
We fight all night and into the dawn
And wonder what went wrong
And we’re at war
And we’re at war
Won’t someone wave the white flag
There’s a chance we might still last
Retreat and get back on track
All we want is our love back
Don’t want us to be strangers
War
Is still love you
Something to change us
War (repeat)
The lyrics of Ahmir's song "War" talk about a struggling relationship where the couple is fighting constantly like there's a war going on between them. The lyrics indicate that the couple has changed since the beginning of the relationship and they can't seem to express themselves clearly. There's bitterness involved in their relationship, and the kisses from the partner's lips taste bitter. There's also an empty space between them despite their constant fighting.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of fighting, using imagery of guns and daggers as if there's a physical war going on. The couple fights all night and into the dawn, wondering what went wrong. The song acknowledges the state of war between the couple and the realization that all they want is their love back. They don't want to be strangers, and they still love each other, but they can't seem to find a way to resolve the issues between them.
The plea to "wave the white flag" indicates the desire for a resolution and to get back on track to save the relationship. There's still hope that they can last if they retreat from this war, which is tearing them apart. The song concludes with the repetition of the word "war", indicating that the struggle is still ongoing.
Overall, "War" is a poignant representation of a relationship in distress that has become a battleground. The lyrics symbolize the issues, miscommunications, and bitterness that a couple can experience in a relationship, resulting in an ongoing war.

These guys are phenomenal! Still wondering why they're still just making cover songs and don't have any Grammy awarded albums out there sitting in the record shops right now? But, this process they're going through now might be good way for them to go though, allowing people to become more familiar with them. It might be a means to their becoming a long lasting success (cuz talent like this should never be denied), who knows? But, even covering songs by other artists, they are simply amazing!!!
