"Red Line Chemistry's 2006 debut album, Chemical High and a Hand Grenade, boasts professional production, crisp dual-guitar riffs and neo-grunge harmonies. Along with all its airwaves-baiting qualities, RLC has the look and the hooks to attract national interest!".

Fighter
Red Line Chemistry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Up all night
Up all day
Sleep-deprived
A little insane
Smoking up
The beats rain down
Lightning strikes
Before your eyes

Just to let it out
Just to let it out
Just to let it out
Just to let it out
Just to let it out
Just to let it out
And we all bleed for something
Yes we all bleed for someone
And we all need something real
Future thrives
In open space
What still comes
From new flames
The past holds on
In endless ways
Guns and thunder
Release the waves
Just to let it out
Just to let it out
Just to let it out
And we all bleed for something
Yes we all bleed for someone
And we all need something real
(Want it, need it, get it, got it, tuck it away)
(Want it, need it, get it, got it, tuck it away)
We all bleed for something
We all bleed for someone
We all need something real
Need this, gotta have it
I am dead without it

Need this, gotta have it
I am dead without something real

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Red Line Chemistry's song "Fighter" represent the human desire for something true and meaningful in their lives. The use of sleep deprivation and the reference to "smoking up" indicate a state of desperation and the need to escape reality. The lightning strikes before one's eyes represent moments of clarity and realization that we all need something real in our lives. The repetition of "just to let it out" emphasizes the idea of releasing one's emotions and holding nothing back.

The chorus emphasizes the idea that we all bleed for something or someone and that we all need something real in our lives. The use of repetition in this section highlights the importance and universality of this desire. The bridge suggests that the future thrives in open spaces and that new flames will bring about change, but at the same time, the past holds on in endless ways, creating a sense of conflict between the desire for change and the comfort of the familiar. The use of guns and thunder in the lyrics gives the impression of something powerful, explosive and liberating. Overall, the song seems to suggest that the only way to find something truly real in life is to be open, to release emotions, and to take risks.
