All That's Left
When Tigers Fight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just remember me for who I was
I don't expect any one to understand
I don't expect you to understand
Every word that was spoken
Every wound left left a scar
Every that was spoken
I keep telling myself
Years will dull the pain
But I regress to a time
Was it all a game?
Searchin' for the light
But I'm over shadowed
I'm lost can't find my way
Get me outta here one day
Every word that was spoken
Every wound left left a scar
Every that was spoken
Every wound left a scar
I'm lost can't find the way
Get me outta here one day
There's gotta be more than this
This can't be all that's left
The lyrics of "All That's Left" by When Tigers Fight express a sense of loss and confusion. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea that they are no longer the person they used to be and struggling to find their way in the world. They plead with others to remember them for who they were before they changed, rather than judging them for what they have become. They acknowledge that they don't expect anyone to understand what they are going through, which highlights their isolation and sense of alienation from those around them.
The next lines reveal the source of the singer's pain: every word that was spoken and every wound left a scar. This suggests that they have experienced trauma or hardship that has left an emotional mark on them. Despite their efforts to move on, they find themselves dwelling on the past and wondering if it was all just a game. They long for an escape from their current state of mind, both physically and emotionally.
The chorus repeats the idea that every word spoken and every wound inflicted has left a scar, underscoring the lasting impact that these experiences have had on the singer. They feel lost and overshadowed, struggling to find their way towards the light. The final lines express a yearning for something more - this can't be all that's left.
Overall, "All That's Left" is a song that speaks to the pain of loss and the struggle to find one's way in the aftermath. The lyrics highlight the difficulty of moving on from past traumas and the feeling of being disconnected from those around you. However, the song also suggests that there is always hope for something better, even in the darkest moments.
