The Fight
Silly Boy Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now, I've seen the void I felt the pain, I know what's like
How you built a wall, you grew a way I cannot buy
Your breath slows down, and I know what's on your mind
They say "Leave him there" but I'm always looking behind

It's not right, I care when you bleed, I don't seem to move on like you've said
You can't fight forever for the feels, you pulled back, but I'm still waiting here
You're alone and there's nothing else to fear but your home, as empty as your dreams
You've got friends and they're all ready to hear, but when night comes, you shade the same old

Sometimes deep inside I wonder how you're doing now
But please don't say "fine", I couldn't bear another lie
I'm looking by the window I guess I hope you'll be around
They've got words, I might need, but i need you more than they thought

It's not right, I care when you bleed, I don't seem to move on like you've said
You can't fight forever for the feels, you pulled back, but I'm still waiting here
You're alone and there's nothing else to fear but your home, as empty as your dreams
You've got friends and they're all ready to hear, but when night comes, you shade the same old tears.





You shade the same old tears.
You shade the same old

Overall Meaning

In Silly Boy Blue's song "The Fight," the singer portrays a sense of empathy and concern towards a friend who is going through a tough time. The beginning of the song talks about how the singer has experienced similar feelings of emptiness and pain, and can relate to what their friend must be going through. The lyrics, "I've seen the void, I felt the pain, I know what's like," emphasizes this. The friend has built an emotional wall around themselves, which the singer finds hard to breach. Despite this, the singer is always looking behind and trying to understand why their friend is acting this way.


As the song progresses, the singer expresses their frustration with the friend's inability to move forward and let go of their pain. The lyrics, "You can't fight forever for the feels, you pulled back, but I'm still waiting here," suggest that the singer wants their friend to stop fighting and to move on from the hurtful emotions that are holding them back. Even though the friend has a support system (i.e., friends), he still feels empty and alone with his thoughts and feelings, which the singer sympathizes with.


The song concludes with the singer still hoping and waiting for their friend to come around. The lyrics, "I'm looking by the window, I guess I hope you'll be around," suggest that the singer wants to be there for their friend and is waiting patiently for them to reach out. The end of the song repeats the phrase, "You shade the same old tears," which implies that their friend is still struggling to overcome their pain and is stuck in a cycle of sadness.

Now, I've seen the void I felt the pain, I know what's like
I understand the emptiness and sorrow you feel because I've been there myself


How you built a wall, you grew a way I cannot buy
You've become distant and closed off, and no matter what I try, I can't break through to you


Your breath slows down, and I know what's on your mind
Your breathing changes when you're upset, and I can tell you're struggling with something


They say "Leave him there" but I'm always looking behind
Others tell me to give up on you, but I can't help but keep hoping for a way to help you


It's not right, I care when you bleed, I don't seem to move on like you've said
I can't just forget about you and move on when you're hurting. I care about you deeply


You can't fight forever for the feels, you pulled back, but I'm still waiting here
You can't keep pushing away your emotions and fighting your pain forever. I'll still be here waiting for you, no matter how long it takes


You're alone and there's nothing else to fear but your home, as empty as your dreams
You feel alone and scared, and your home is as empty and unfulfilling as your dreams


You've got friends and they're all ready to hear, but when night comes, you shade the same old tears
You have supportive friends who want to listen, but when you're alone at night, you still struggle with the same painful emotions


Sometimes deep inside I wonder how you're doing now
I often think about you and wonder how you're coping with your pain


But please don't say "fine", I couldn't bear another lie
I don't want you to pretend everything is okay when it's not. I can't handle any more lies


I'm looking by the window I guess I hope you'll be around
I'm constantly scanning the area, hoping to catch a glimpse of you


They've got words, I might need, but i need you more than they thought
Other people have advice and support to offer, but ultimately, I need you more than anyone else to get through this


You shade the same old tears.
You continue to cry the same tears of pain and sadness, without finding a way to heal


You shade the same old
You continue to struggle with the same emotions, without making progress towards healing

Now, I've seen the void i felt the pain, I know what's like
How you built a wall, you grew a way I cannot buy
Your breath slows down, and I know what's on your mind
They say "Leave him there" but i'm always looking behind

It's not right, I care when you bleed, I don't seem to move on like you've said
You can't fight forever for the feels, you pulled back, but I'm still waiting here
You're alone and there's nothing else to fear but your home, as empty as your dreams
You've got friends and they're all ready to hear, but when night comes, you shade the same old -

Sometimes deep inside i wonder how you're doing now
But please don't say "fine", I couldn't bear another lie
I'm looking by the window I guess I hope you'll be around
They've got words, I might need, but i need you more than they thought

It's not right, I care when you bleed, I don't seem to move on like you've said
