Same Old War
Our Last Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Against a disease, without a cure
Been holding on for so long
For so long
For so long
I've been wishing upon a star, if my universe falls apart
I feel so far from the sky, as my dreams, are going by
And They say, it's a battle that can't be won
Should I run away, and change my name?
Or Should I, stay and fight through the night, and never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes!
I've come too far, to go back now, turn into a face in the crowd!
Been on this road, for so long
For so long
For so long
Convinced there is no way out, my world is turned upside down!
My sense of direction's been gone, for so long
For so long
And They say, it's a battle that can't be won
We need our knives, we need our guns
Should I run away, and change my name?
Or Should I, stay and fight through the night, and never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes!
Stay strong, keep moving, can't let the darkness blind us
Carry on, we'll be the ones to pull the stars down to us
Stay strong, keep moving, can't let the darkness blind us
Carry on, we'll be the ones to pull the stars down to us
Should I run away, and change my name?
Or Should I, stay and fight through the night
And never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes!
The opening lines of the song "Same Old War" by Our Last Night depict a struggle that seems to be unending. The singer talks about "fighting the same old war," which could be referencing both an internal and external conflict. This war is against a disease, which the singer labels as incurable. The perseverance of the singer is evident when he says he has been holding on for so long, wishing upon a star even though his dreams are slipping away. In doing so, he tries to transcend the situation that he is in, dreaming of escaping his reality.
The pre-chorus takes on a more desperate tone, which is a conflict between wanting to escape and wanting to fight the war. The singer contemplates whether to run away and change his name or stay and fight through the night "and never close my eyes." This could also be interpreted as a metaphor for ending or never-ending a war of his own, whether it be personal or global. Further, the chorus repeats that fighting the war is essential, and there is no way out but to pull the stars down.
Overall, "Same Old War" delivers a powerful message of perseverance and never giving up in the face of insurmountable odds. It encourages those who feel hopeless and defeated to carry on and continue to fight their battles, even if they believe they cannot win.

I've been fighting the same old war
Against a disease, without a cure
Been holding on for so long (for so long, for so long)
I've been wishing upon a star, as my universe falls apart
I feel so far from the sky, as my dreams are flying by
[Pre-Chorus]
And they say, it's a battle that can't be won
We need our knives, we need our guns
[Chorus]
Should I run away, and change my name?
Or should I
Stay and fight through the night
And never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes
[Verse 2]
I've come too far, to go back now, turn into a face in the crowd
Been on this road, for so long (for so long, for so long)
Convinced there is no way out, my world is turned upside down
My sense of direction's been gone (for so long, for so long)
[Pre-Chorus]
And they say, it's a battle that can't be won
We need our knives, we need our guns
[Chorus]
Should I run away, and change my name?
Or should I
Stay and fight through the night
And never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes
[Bridge]
Stay strong, keep moving, can't let the darkness blind us
Carry on, we'll be the ones that pull the stars down to us
Stay strong, keep moving, can't let the darkness blind us
Carry on, we'll be the ones that pull the stars down to us
[Chorus]
Should I run away, and change my name?
Or should I
Stay and fight through the night
And never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes

LYRICS
I've been fighting the same old war
Against a disease without a cure
Been holding on for so long, for so long, for so long
I've been wishing upon a star
As my universe falls apart
[Regular version:] I feel so far from the sky as my dreams are flying by
[Acoustic version:] I feel so far from the sky when my dreams are flying by
And they say it's a battle that can't be won
We need our knives, we need our guns
Should I run away and change my name,
Or should I stay and fight
Through the night
And never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes
I've come too far to go back now
To turn into a face in the crowd
Been on this road for so long, for so long, for so long
Convinced there is no way out.
My world is turned upside down
My sense of direction's been gone, for so long, for so long
And they say it's a battle that can't be won
We need our knives, we need our guns
Should I run away and change my name
Or should I stay and fight
Through the night
And never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes
Stay strong, keep moving, can't let the darkness blind us
Carry on, we'll be the ones that pull the stars down to us
Stay strong, keep moving, can't let the darkness blind us
Carry on, we'll be the ones that pull the stars down to us
Should I run away and change my name?
Or should I stay and fight
Through the night
And never close my eyes?
I'll never close my eyes
(I'll never close my eyes...)
