War
Scarlet White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let no stone go unturned, let ignorance burn.
Maybe the thrill you find,
When you face the front line, let the drama freak go, let it go.
War
You want it you've got it
We'll bring the fight
You mindlessly crave it
It ends tonight
We'll meet you on the battle field, it ends tonight
We'll meet you on the battle field, it ends tonight
Is it too hard to try,
And keep your mind to yourself
Maybe you'll let the drama freak go, go
War
War, you want it you've got it
It ends tonight
War, you mindlessly crave it
It ends tonight
War, you want it you've got it
We'll bring the fight
(We'll meet you on the battlefield)
War, you mindlessly crave it
It ends tonight.
(We'll meet you on the battlefield)
The lyrics of Scarlet White's song War seems to be addressing someone who enjoys conflict and drama, perhaps even seeking it out. The first verse mentions the idea of not leaving any stone unturned and letting ignorance burn, which suggests a willingness to engage in any type of confrontation or argument regardless of knowledge or understanding of the particular issue. The chorus begins with the lines "War, you want it you've got it" which reinforces the idea that the subject of the song actively craves conflict. The lines "We'll meet you on the battlefield, it ends tonight" suggests a final reckoning where the conflict that has been sought after will finally come to an end.
The second verse begins with the line "Is it too hard to try, and keep your mind to yourself" which implies that the subject of the song may be causing conflict by being outspoken about their opinions. The chorus is repeated again with some variance, except the last two lines are in brackets and may be viewed as a slightly lighter take on the same idea; that is, confrontations can be viewed as games played on a battlefield where there can be winners and losers.
Overall, the song seems to be about conflict, both external and internal, and how seeking it out can lead to negative consequences. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the point that the craving for conflict should be abandoned, and that it ultimately leads nowhere.
