Fighting to Live
Control Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Follow me nowhere we'll go for a ride
Momentary silence, silence sure to bless
The pain is growing and so I must confess to you
Questions inside cause me to hurt
Words of wisdom written in dirt
Tomorrow's a new day if you can forgive
If this is innocence it's time for me to run
What once was permanent out in the rising sun
Clouds of betrayal my evidence above
Memories hang over me they forbid me to love
Beyond the wall I am trapped in a cage
Solitary emptiness in my rage
Go find your happiness down by the river's edge
I'm gone forever now but to you I will pledge
Everyone has a soul fighting to live.
The lyrics of Control's song Fighting to Live convey a sense of struggle and pain that many people experience in their lives. The song speaks about laying down beside someone and hoping they can be there for you in your time of need. It implies that the person singing is going through some type of heartbreak or emotional turmoil and is in need of comfort.
The lyrics suggest that there is a silence that can bless us, but in this case, it is a momentary silence that is overshadowed by a growing pain that must be confessed. The questions inside the singer cause them to hurt, and the words of wisdom written in dirt imply that there is some wisdom to be gained from whatever situation they are currently facing. However, the pain remains, and the hope for a change in tomorrow is emphasized by the lyrics.
The song ends with the singer suggesting that they are trapped beyond a wall and in a cage of solitary emptiness. The only thing that remains is for the person they are speaking to, to find their own happiness and to live a life full of love, while the singer is gone forever, but will still pledge their love to the person they are speaking to.
Overall, the song speaks to a human condition that is universal, the struggle and pain that comes with living in this world, but stresses the need to keep fighting and never give up. While there may be times where we feel trapped in a cage of solitary emptiness, it's important to keep pushing, to keep fighting to live.
