Armistice
Phoenix/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A promise to get well
That ain't workin', thinkin' that you're no good
Don't worry 'cause I'm not the kind to kiss and tell
No dahlias and cherry trees
I don't recall them anyway
Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out
To each his own, the same
When the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Our daily compromise it is
Written in your signed armistice
And when the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Well, we'll decide as always
Here is your signed armistice
It's time to follow, and not to heat it up
Requesting this plane is a propeller
In the middle of the course when ambitions are low
Head on close, hang on before you lose control
The octagon logo, had to rip it up
The semaphore message on your lips
Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out
To each his own, the same
One of us is wasted
When the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Our daily compromise it is
Written in your signed armistice
And when the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Well, we'll decide as always
Here is your signed armistice
For lovers in a rush
For lovers always
Foreign lovers in a rush
Keeping promises
For lovers in a rush
For lovers always
For lovers in a rush
For lovers always
Foreign lovers in a rush
Keeping promises
For lovers in a rush
For lovers always
The lyrics of Phoenix/Musicfire.in's song Armistice speak of a relationship that is ending, where the two parties involved have reached an agreement to end things amicably, with no hard feelings. The first verse talks about how the singer's dad had warned them about their partner and how they weren't the kind to kiss and tell. They talk about how they don't even recall certain memories, as they weren't important enough, and emphasize that no one involved should wear their emotions out, as they move on from one another. The chorus reiterates the idea that the two parties agree to the end things amicably, with a signed armistice. The second verse talks about how it's better to end things before they get too heated, and how the question of when to end things is as plain as a propeller. They emphasize how important it is to keep promises, even when one party is hurt, and how falling out is something that's always going to happen, but it's how we handle it that makes a difference.
The song has an overall melancholic tone to it, with a sense of resignation to the end of the relationship. The lyrics suggest that both parties have been hurt in some way, but they've come together to end things in a way that won't add to the hurt or anger. The chorus, in particular, is a reminder of the agreement that they've made, to let things end amicably, without any bad blood. The second verse emphasizes the importance of keeping promises, even in the face of hurt and loss, suggesting that the relationship had once been strong and built on trust, which is why they're able to come to this agreement.

Keep your promises
He is leaving in a hurry, make sure to keep your promises.
Fallin' out, he's in a rush, fallin' out, he's goin in, fallin out he's in a rush
Fallin' out he's always
He always leaves in a hurry.
Fallin' out, he's in a rush
Keep your promises
He's leaving, remember to keep your promises.
