Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life's wasted waiting here for you
There's nothing left of me
Lost in a void I don't see
There's nothing left to believe
The end is now
I surrender
The rain is falling
And all that's left has blown away
Your eyes are haunted
By what you wanted
I surrender (I surrender)
The war is over
The anger I keep for you
The bitter lessons I will keep for me
There's nothing I can do
To save you from your own hell
There's nothing left for you
The end is now
I surrender
The war is over
The rain is falling
And all that's left has blown away
Your eyes are haunted
By what you wanted
I surrender (I surrender)
The war is over (It's over now)
I can see it, I can see what you've become
I can feel it, as everything goes numb
The war is over
The rain is falling
And all that's left has blown away
Your eyes are haunted
By what you wanted
I surrender (I surrender)
The war is over
"The War is Over" by Trust Company is a song about surrendering and admitting defeat in a relationship. The lyrics describe a sense of hopelessness and despair, as the singer feels like they have wasted their life waiting for someone who may never come back. The phrase "the hours devour me" suggests a sense of being consumed by time and feeling like life is slipping away. The singer also feels lost and trapped in a void, unable to see any meaning or purpose in their life without the other person.
The chorus repeats the phrase "the war is over," which seems to signify an end to the emotional struggle and conflict in the relationship. The rain that falls creates a somber and melancholic atmosphere, as if to suggest that the tears of sadness and regret have washed away any hope for reconciliation. The haunting look in the other person's eyes indicates that they too have been deeply affected by the end of the relationship, and that perhaps they too have realized that it is time to surrender and move on.
Overall, "The War is Over" is a poignant and mournful song about the end of a relationship and the need to accept defeat and surrender. The lyrics convey a sense of sadness, loss, and despair, but also a glimmer of hope for healing and moving forward.
