Yellow Claw ft. Yade Lauren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the heart, yeah, you went right in
I fell for every word you said
I can't leave but I can't stay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why some things have to be this way
And then we're lost until we're found
And when we're high further from the ground
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
You told me from the start
Nothing could tear us apart
Now when I look I see a stranger
I can't leave but I can't stay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why some things have to end this way
We build it up to break it down
And then we're lost until we're found
And when we're high further from the ground
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me

Cut me through my skin
You hurt me deeply with your actions
To the heart, yeah, you went right in
You hurt me so much that it felt like you reached my heart
I fell for every word you said
I believed everything you told me and trusted you completely
I can't leave but I can't stay
I'm stuck in this situation, unable to make a decision
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I'm confused and uncertain about how to proceed
Why some things have to be this way
I don't understand why things have to be so difficult and painful
We build it up to break it down
We worked hard to make this relationship work, only to see it fall apart
And then we're lost until we're found
After the relationship ends, we feel lost and unsure of what to do
And when we're high further from the ground
Even in moments of happiness, we can still feel distant and disconnected
If all is fair in love and war
The saying suggests that people can do whatever it takes to win in these situations
I can't do this anymore
I'm exhausted and can't continue trying to make this work
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
I feel like everything is stacked against me and nothing is going my way
You told me from the start
You made promises and reassured me at the beginning of our relationship
Nothing could tear us apart
You said that our love was strong enough to overcome anything
Now when I look I see a stranger
You've changed so much that I don't even recognize you anymore
Why some things have to end this way
I'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that our relationship has fallen apart
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
I feel like everything is stacked against me and nothing is going my way
If all is fair in love and war
The saying suggests that people can do whatever it takes to win in these situations
I can't do this anymore
I'm exhausted and can't continue trying to make this work
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
I feel like everything is stacked against me and nothing is going my way

Cut me through my skin
Through the heart, yeah, you went right in
I fell for every word you said
I come here but I can't stay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why some things have to be this way
We build it up, build it up to break it down
And then we're lost until we're found
And when we're high further from the crown
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
You told me from the start
Nothing could tear us apart
Now when I look I see a stranger
I come here but I can't stay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why some things have to end this way
We build it up, build it up to break it down
And then we're lost until we're found
And when we're high further from the crown
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
If all is fair in love and war
I can't do this anymore
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me

So I was bored , and I tried to interpret what this video really means. Feel free to share your ideas
The boy - He probably had a dream (going to sea) but his obstacle right now, is his young age. He knew the world is going to end, so he let go of the fishes to let them felt their last moment of life. Felt that he also need to feel the freedom , he went to the sea in his own way, achieving his dream. (Freedom)
The Man - He has a career he longing for, but he lived long enough under the pressure , yet he found no peace. When everything comes to an end, he finally trying to calm himself down, and finding peace. Even if it is for a short time, and might felt that he should have his time more to find peace, but at least he receive what he wanted. (Peace)
The Woman - She is around the people full of fun and pleasure, yet she found no peace for herself. No hopes for herself , she felt discontent, but, feeling curious and confused on why people around her keep dancing and having fun despite the end of the world coming nearby, she learned that she had to accept things no matter how hard it it .(Acceptance)
The family - They had nothing at all, but they got each other as family, The mom, appreciating what she only had in this world (child) , while the Dad cries cause the only treasure he had in this world is about to lose right in front of his own eyes , and has to accept that they have little time with their loved one, but in the end, they had what the happiness really mean for them, which is a family. (Happiness)
These four values might represent the song title "Love and War" itself, since most of people tend to have problems with these values within themselves, either in individually, or in a relationship.
