We decided that we should try and never do two songs that sound similar and, in the process, developed a sound that’s filled many different influences and genres, yet keeping a familiar pop-punk identity" ...To be honest, it was more like, "Three friends had a revelation and realised that they all played instruments, so they made a band. And named themselves after a map in COD4."

Crossfire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have been changing me
There is no way out
You won't sent me free
I lost my way by typical betray
Is it the end or is it half the way
You ruined me
You made me bleed
Into some kind of shit
Make use of it
Make use of it
Make use of it
As the days passed by
My life has turned to black
No reason why and
Now I want you back
Ever since you left
I tried to punish you
When I get my chance
I'm gonna fuck you too
You ruined me
You made me bleed
And you turned my life
Into some kind of shit
Make use of it
Make use of it
Make use of it
I gave up my soul
To switch sides with you
Ain't no turning back
I just become like you
It's just matter at time
See what I'm gonna do
As it happens to me
Your nightmare will come true
You ruined me
You made me bleed
And you turned my life
Into some kind of shit
Make use of it
Make use of it
Make use of it
The lyrics of Crossfire's song "Unfair" convey feelings of betrayal, hurt, and revenge. The singer recounts a relationship in which they felt trapped and changed by the actions of the other person. They describe feeling lost and betrayed, unsure if this is the end or if there is more pain to come. The other person has ruined their life and made them suffer. However, instead of remaining a victim, the singer decides to make use of the pain and use it as a driving force for their own revenge.
As the days go by, the singer's life becomes darker and they yearn for the person who has hurt them. They admit to wanting to punish that person as well, expressing a desire for them to experience the same pain they have caused. The singer admits to giving up their own soul to become like the other person, implying that they are willing to stoop to the same level to seek retribution. The song ends with the singer warning the other person that their own nightmare will come true, suggesting a sense of satisfaction in their plans for vengeance.
Overall, "Unfair" captures the emotions of someone who has been deeply hurt by someone they once loved, and their determination to turn the tables and inflict the same pain on their betrayer.

Once I experience similar pain or suffering, your own fears and nightmares will become a reality
