Sound The Alarm
When Tigers Fight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Promises un-fulfilled
You can sound the alarm, now it's thru
All the dreams that you killed
The ending was so painfully clear
The way you act, of course you got hurt
There's nothing else for you to do
Cuz it can't get any worse
You think I forgot?
My anger is all that I've got - and
I won't give that up
Time to forgive? It's not.
My anger is all that I've got - and
I won't give that up
There's nothing left for me to see
My mind's already gone
There's nothing left for you to take from me
What the hell can you do to me now?
You think I forgot?
My anger is all that I've got - and
I won't give that up
Time to forgive? It's not.
My anger is all that I've got - and
I won't give that up
Only emotion
Hunger for pain
The want of vengeance
Burning disdain
The only thing I'm wanting
I can admit to myself
Cuz if I do what I want to do
I'm burning in hell right next to you
The song "Sound The Alarm" by When Tigers Fight seems to be about a relationship that has come to a painful end. The lyrics suggest that promises were made but not kept, and that the relationship ultimately fell apart due to the actions of one person. The chorus of the song suggests that the singer is holding onto anger and won't let go. They believe that there is nothing left for them to see and that the other person can't do anything else to hurt them. The song ends with the singer admitting that they want revenge but also acknowledging that it will lead to their own suffering.
The lyrics are raw and emotional, reflecting the pain and confusion that often accompany the end of a relationship. The repetitive nature of the chorus reinforces the intense emotions being expressed. The use of vivid imagery like "burning in hell right next to you" conveys the depth of the singer's anger and desire for revenge.
