Love And War
Pro-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can save your face
Justify all your wealth
And leave that nasty taste
Seek and ye shall find
A world of discontent
So sign that bottom line
To pass the time well spent
I've waited all my life to live
I've given all I had to give
I ran beyond that extra mile
I've got to make this all worth while
All is fair in love and war
Dignified, we speak
And all of us are never heard
Truth is all we seek
Lash out and spread the word
Paradise is lost
And nothing is the same
Every line was crossed
And no one took the blame
I've waited all my life to live
I've given all I had to give
I ran beyond that extra mile
I've got to make this all worth while
All is fair in love and war
This song, Love and War by Pro-Pain, delves into themes of wealth, deceit, conflict, the search for truth, and the question of what we are willing to sacrifice in order to achieve what we want. The opening lines, "Crucify yourself / If you can save your face / Justify all your wealth / And leave that nasty taste" suggest the idea of sacrificing one's well-being or morals in order to maintain wealth or status. The line, "So sign that bottom line / To pass the time well spent" reinforces the idea of sacrificing one's integrity for the sake of material gain.
The chorus, "I've waited all my life to live / I've given all I had to give / I ran beyond that extra mile / I've got to make this all worth while / All is fair in love and war" speaks to the notion that life is a battle with winners and losers, and that anything goes in the pursuit of what we believe will make us happy. The line, "I've waited all my life to live" suggests that the singer has been searching for meaning or purpose amidst the chaos of life, and the final line, "All is fair in love and war" reinforces the idea that the pursuit of happiness can come at a cost.
The second verse, "Dignified, we speak / And all of us are never heard / Truth is all we seek / Lash out and spread the word" introduces the idea that there is a desire for truth and honesty, but it is often overshadowed by people who use their voices and power to manipulate and deceive. The line, "Paradise is lost / And nothing is the same / Every line was crossed / And no one took the blame" suggests that there has been a loss of innocence or purity, and that everyone involved in the conflict bears some responsibility.
Overall, the song delves into the complexities of life and the search for meaning amidst the battles that we face. It suggests that the search for meaning can take us to dark places, and that we often make sacrifices or compromises in order to achieve our goals.
Line by Line Meaning
Crucify yourself
Punish yourself for your mistakes
If you can save your face
If you can maintain your reputation
Justify all your wealth
Defend your riches
And leave that nasty taste
Even if it leaves a bad impression
Seek and ye shall find
If you search, you will discover
A world of discontent
A world full of dissatisfaction
So sign that bottom line
Sign the contract with the clause at the end
To pass the time well spent
To spend time productively
I've waited all my life to live
I longed to live
I've given all I had to give
I have generously given everything I had
I ran beyond that extra mile
I went above and beyond what was expected of me
I've got to make this all worth while
I must make this all valuable
All is fair in love and war
Anything goes when it comes to love and war
Dignified, we speak
We speak respectfully
And all of us are never heard
But none of us are listened to
Truth is all we seek
We only want the truth
Lash out and spread the word
Speak up and share your opinion
Paradise is lost
We have lost happiness and contentment
And nothing is the same
Things have changed and transformed completely
Every line was crossed
We have gone beyond all boundaries
And no one took the blame
No one is accountable for the consequences
