ABOUT THE BAND:
Urbandub is Gabby Alipe (Vocalist / Guitarist), Lalay Lim (Bassist), John Mendoza (Drummer) and John Dinopol (Lead Guitarist). Urbandub's career thus far has given much inspiration and support to upcoming acts, most of which fall under the Lighter Records stable such as Faspitch, The Ambassadors, Still, Nuncyspungen (Cagayan) and Point Click Kill (Ilo Ilo). Each of them now aspire to take their own roads in music, paving their own way and modeling some of their steps after the success of Urbandub.
From the very first day that this band was formed (in the year 2000), they were destined to be something more than the ordinary. Forced to be independent due to the lack of support coming from major record companies, Urbandub released their debut album called BIRTH. Off of this album, the hit tracks “Come”, “Give” and “Would You Go” launched and took their world by storm. Unique, timely and yet experimental, it was something that entertainment scenes around the Philippines needed: a kick-start into the future of original music.
With the release of their sophomore effort, INFLUENCE (Lighter Records), Urbandub took on a new form, changing their sound with a new drummer (From Jed Honrado to Jerros Dolino). It was the sound in this album that clearly defined the steps that Urbandub would start to take. The track “Soul Searching” later won the award as Best Song of the Year in the NU107 Rock Awards 2003. Pushing the sound further, the collection bagged the Album Of The Year Award in the NU107 Rock Awards 2004.
Urbandub released their album EMBRACE in 2005, and with it, it proved that there is hope for struggling artists. With help from their community and the noise they created, they were able to grab the attention of EMI Music Philippines. Since then the band has kept Lighter Records as their management arm and guide. In line with their ideals, EMI allowed the members the creative freedom to record their album on their home soil of Cebu. They have also been able to maintain their independent principles while taking major steps into the scene that has awaited their new sound.
After more than 10,000 albums sold, thousands of miles traveled around the country and some dizzying highs and lows, an energized Urbandub returned with UNDER SOUTHERN LIGHTS in 2007. This latest album boasts 10 tracks of Urbandub’s new approach to their own brand—their brilliance shines throughout a melodious rock tune and diverse songwriting.
The Fight Is Over
URBANDUB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coz our mouths have just run dry
As our feelings get colder
There's nothing to hold us now
Gave all this time just to be let down
Can you explain to me?
What has become of us?
We can never take them back
Not even pleading can save us
I know you'll meet someone better
But would you still think of me
If he can't hold you like I did
Would you run back to me?
Yes, I know this pain shall pass
Gave all this time still we couldn't last
Explain to me
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
For all that were worth now
Not even pleading can save us
How did we end this way?
Our promises thrown away
All the years we built, broken up
See it crashing down
I have to say
Though alone in this crazy sea of faces
It's still your face I wanna know
Explain to me
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
For all that were worth now
Not even pleading can save us
Can't save us now
The fighting is over
The fighting is over
The fighting is over
The fighting is over now...
The song "The Fight is Over" by Urbandub is a poignant reflection on a relationship that has come to an end. The lyrics describe a sense of resignation and acceptance towards the end of a relationship. The opening lines, "When the fighting is over, Coz our mouths have just run dry, As our feelings get colder, There's nothing to hold us now" paint a picture of a relationship that has undergone a gradual decline, with conflict and emotion giving way to apathy and detachment.
The singer of the song expresses a sense of regret for how the relationship turned out. They wonder what went wrong, asking "Can you explain to me? What has become of us?" However, their reflection is tinged with a sense of acceptance, as they acknowledge that the damage has been done, and that, "With words released, We can never take them back, Not even pleading can save us". The singer also expresses a fear of being replaced, wondering if their partner will think of them even if they move on with someone else.
The final lines of the song, "The Fighting is over, The fighting is over now" bring the song to a close on a bittersweet note. Although the relationship has ended and the singer feels a sense of loss, there is also a sense of relief that the conflict and struggle are over.
Overall, "The Fight is Over" is a beautiful and heartfelt song that captures the complex emotions involved in the end of a relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
When the fighting is over
Now that the argument has ended
Coz our mouths have just run dry
Because we no longer have anything left to say
As our feelings get colder
As our emotions become more distant
There's nothing to hold us now
There's no reason to stay together
Gave all this time just to be let down
We invested a lot of time but it all went to waste
Can you explain to me?
Can you tell me the reason?
What has become of us?
What happened to our relationship?
With words released
With the things we said
We can never take them back
We can't undo what's been said
Not even pleading can save us
Even begging won't fix things
I know you'll meet someone better
I'm aware that you'll find someone who is better for you
But would you still think of me
Would I still cross your mind?
If he can't hold you like I did
If he can't love you the way I did
Would you run back to me?
Would you come back to me?
Yes, I know this pain shall pass
I understand that this hurt will eventually fade
Gave all this time still we couldn't last
We put in a lot of effort but it still didn't work out
How did we end this way?
How did our relationship come to this?
Our promises thrown away
We didn't keep our commitments
All the years we built, broken up
All the time we spent together, now over
See it crashing down
Watch it all fall apart
Though alone in this crazy sea of faces
Even though I'm alone in a crowd
It's still your face I wanna know
I still miss you and think about you
For all that were worth now
Despite everything we had
Can't save us now
It's too late to fix things
The fighting is over
The argument has ended
The fighting is over
The conflict is done
The fighting is over
The hostility has ceased
The fighting is over now...
The disagreement has finally ended

August 19, 2021 me & my X (GA) had a terrible fight. It's just a simple thing that went haywire. She always accused me of something that i never did or something that was unintentional. Majority of our fights were just miscommunications. The last fight was the worst. Last August 29, 2021 I asked for another chance to save our relationship. But sad to say, we had to go on separate ways. When I play this song, it reminds me of all the things that happened. Most of the words in the lyrics just stabs my heart like a knife.
-When the fight was over our mouths went dry
-Feelings got colder and harsh words were released and no way of taking them back
-Gave all my time just to be let down
-Not even pleading could save us
-I'm alone in this crazy sea of faces, It's still her face I wanna know
-I know she'll meet someone better
-But will she still think of me If he can't hold her like I did... will she run back to me?
-I know this pain shall pass... but I don't know how long
Both of us caused this, because of PRIDE, ANGER & LACK OF SELF CONTROL. I love her so much and I want to love her more. But what remains now is her hatred and my broken heart.
-The fighting is over now but the pain remains (at least for me)
