War On the Inside
Another Lost Year Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
War on the inside
I can see you're distant,
It's dark
And there is no one around this time
Lost in all of this and
I'm all along the wire,
Chorus:
All these voices calling my name
Keep reminding me of all of this pain
Cause I am stuck here out on this ledge
Can you save me tonight
From the war on the inside
The silence that kills, it deafens
I can see your eyes every time that you lie
And I can see your eyes, run into the sunset
Every time you want to forget
Chorus:
All these voices calling my name
Keep reminding me of all of this pain
Cause I am stuck here out on this ledge
Can you save me tonight
From the war on the inside
Reaching hands are all that's missed
Every time it ends like this
Tell me what to do or say
This is how it ends today
[2 x Chorus:]
All of these voices calling my name
(War on the inside)
Keep reminding me of all of this pain
(War on the inside)
Cause I am stuck here out on this ledge
Can you save me tonight
From the war on the inside

The second verse describes the weight of silence and the sense of betrayal by those who lie. The chorus repeats the idea of voices reminding the singer of their pain, as they feel trapped on the edge of a metaphorical cliff. The song ends with the repeated plea for someone to save them from this internal war.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with mental illness, feeling trapped in a cycle of pain and isolation. The song offers a powerful message about the importance of seeking help and support when facing these struggles.
Line by Line Meaning
War on the inside
The internal battle that is happening
I can see you're distant
You're emotionally unavailable
It's dark
Things are bleak and hopeless
And there is no one around this time
There's no one there to provide support
Lost in all of this and
Overwhelmed by the situation
I'm all alone on the wire,
Feeling exposed/vulnerable
This is where it collides
The moment where things come to a head
All these voices calling my name
The negative thoughts and feelings that are tormenting me
Keep reminding me of all of this pain
The thoughts and feelings are causing serious emotional pain
Cause I am stuck here out on this ledge
Feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward
Can you save me tonight
Asking for someone to help and support me
From the war on the inside
From the internal battle that is raging
The silence that kills, it deafens
The quietness and lack of communication is causing harm and distress
I can see your eyes every time that you lie
I can tell when you're not being truthful
And I can see your eyes, run into the sunset
I can see you trying to escape the situation
Every time you want to forget
When you're trying to avoid confronting the issue
Reaching hands are all that's missed
Desiring for support and help
Every time it ends like this
When everything finishes in such a negative way
Tell me what to do or say
Asking for guidance on how to handle things
This is how it ends today
This is the conclusion of everything happening today
All of these voices calling my name
The negative thoughts and feelings that are tormenting me
(War on the inside)
(The internal battle that is happening)
Keep reminding me of all of this pain
The thoughts and feelings are causing serious emotional pain
(War on the inside)
(The internal battle that is happening)
Cause I am stuck here out on this ledge
Feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward
Can you save me tonight
Asking for someone to help and support me
From the war on the inside
From the internal battle that is raging

Thank you guys for writing a song that helped me keep fighting last night. I have had it rough in the last few months my Mom recently went into liver failure and things have been rough on my family to the point its unbearable. Sometimes when you are relying on dreaming of becoming professional and leaving the bar shows behind life becomes overwhelming. Thanks guys for helping me put my suicidal feelings behind and pick up my guitar and bible again. This song really helped me want to keep going
