FIGHT
Mountains vs. Machines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quick witted word my kryptonite
Smack to the face and spit in the eye
Your spite for me is hot tonight
We're gonna have a fight
Why don't you spend time with me, you don't love me
Why'd you cheat on me, what about my friends
Why don't you love me, get the fuck away from me
Who the hell is Vicky
We're gonna have a fight, we're gonna have a fight
Tensions running high, your furs about to fly
Name callin, slurs fallin someone's still shouting
And you're still ballin
Why don't you love me, why don't you care about me
Why don't you trust me, what the hell is going on here
I don't know what the fuck you want from me
Get the fuck away from me
And what about my birthday
This is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you
We're gonna have a fight, we're gonna have a fight
Left hook swung a slip of the tongue
I'm just done cause this ain't fun
You're not the one, I'm on the run
We're gonna have a fight
The lyrics to Mountains vs. Machines' song Fight depict a couple having a heated argument that may escalate into physical violence. The opening lines reveal that the argument is inevitable, implying that there is some long-standing tension between the couple. The next lines reference hurtful words being thrown around, indicating that both parties have some underlying issues with each other. The use of the word kryptonite suggests that one person's words have the power to knock the other down, revealing a power dynamic at play. The line "Your spite for me is hot tonight" suggests that while the couple may fight often, something has escalated the situation and increased the hostility.
As the argument continues, we see that the grievances being aired are varied and incoherent, which seems to indicate that the couple has a lot of unresolved problems. The use of some profanities further reveals the level of frustration and anger involved. The line "This is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you" suggests that the fight might end up being emotionally devastating for both parties, but they are still not willing to back down.
The last lines of the song reveal that the relationship might be on the verge of collapse, with one person ready to leave because the other person is not "the one". The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with no resolution reached, giving the sense that the couple is in for a long night of arguing.
