This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute, it's love
And, suddenly, it's like a battlefield
One word turns into a war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield, can't go back, now
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
Why we gotta fall for it, now
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like
Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mm
If we can't surrender
Then, we're both gonna lose we have, oh, no
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (nothing) oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
I don't wanna fall for it, now
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Better go and get your armor
(get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your
We could pretend that we are friends, tonight (oh)
And, in the morning, we wake up, and we'd be alright
Cause, baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
Why does love always feel like (oh, oh)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I know what's happening here
One minute, it's love
And, suddenly, it's like a battlefield
One word turns into a war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield, can't go back, now
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
Why we gotta fall for it, now
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like
Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mm
If we can't surrender
Then, we're both gonna lose we have, oh, no
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (nothing) oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
I don't wanna fall for it, now
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Better go and get your armor
(get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your

(get your armor) get your armor (get your armor)
Why does love always feel like (oh, oh)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Yay, first commentor on her new song! I think this song means that you are in love with someone and you know they love you back but they always end up fighting about little things that shouldnt matter so much.
Possibly. Who knows. It's in the eye of the beholder. Why I listen to romance songs is above my idea of understanding.
love this song <3
i love this song,
i think its about how when couples fight, theres so much emotion behind it. So i think the "get your armor" part is more like you emotional armor. love is always a battlefield, cause when something happens its got your heart enterwined.
they say that marriage is the only war in which you sleep with the enemy haha.
So I listened to this a couple of times to give her a chance. She is obviously angry. I think it goes back to her belief of what love is. Jordin Sparks thinks she will stay with someone for the rest of her life. 1 in 2 marriages end.. just saying. Anyways she is mad because this guy is leaving her because she is almost 20 years old and is not putting out. So she makes it into a game and shit, I get it. She is telling him to get his armour because she is gonna make this a fight. Come on Jordin, what happened to No Air?
BTW I like this song, it is good. I just really like her better when she is singing a love song that is slower not as fast. Good first single choice :)

I dont think that her not putting out has really anything to do with the song.<br /> I think it's pretty much just about a relationship that is going down hill and that their fighting for completely different things.<br /> and it IS a love song...just about a love gone wrong, sorry it's not sappy and cliche enough for you.<br /> Also, I really quite like the anger in jordin spark's voice it adds alot more emotion. When she was performing on American Idol there was deff alot of anger and emotion on that stage.<br /> Love it.
I agree with cutthroatcupcake, its got nothing to do with her not putting out! lol, I cant really see where you even got that, but ahwell<br /> Totally just about how its a battlefield since theyre always fighting, but she's not giving up.
hey, are you projecting?
what u said makes no sense whatsoever. She didnt write this song. She's just performing it. you know nothing about her life and/or relationships. You people need to stop trying to act like you know everything. It is a song she was given to sing and she did just that. let it go.
wow you totally missed the point of the song!! what she is saying is love can be hard and it changes sometimes..sometimes people get into fights over something stupid and a while later they dont even know what they started fighting for..when she says go get your armor she is just saying to be ready when a fight is coming so u dont get too hurt by it.
I think it means that all relationships fade.
I love the part where the music drops out and she's just singing "A battle field, a battlefied, a battle field.. I guess you better go get your armour.."
when her voice goes all croaky on that high note <3 Gorgeous voice
i love her. but i hate this fuckin song.
This is so not my style of music but I'm in love with this song (don't tell my friends!). I don't think it's about a relationship that's going downhill, though, because she says that love "always" feels like a battlefield, which I can completely relate to.
It's what happens when you have two really strong, passionate personalities in a relationship. Sometimes they clash and have to war it out, but they get through it. She tells him to get his armor because she isn't going to back off. She's going to fight to maintain their love and their relationship but she's not going to do it by just lying down and being passive.
i love this song its what im going through right now with my bf we fight over everything and i dont know why its feel really hard to keep doing it every day
I agree. I'm in the same thing. He's too stubborn. Partly selfish. I'm always wrong. And it's killing me inside.<br /> <br /> What do we do?<br /> <br /> Anyone who just says leave; that's easier said than done when you care so much.<br /> <br /> Great song.
When she says, "I guess you'd better go and get your armour," it gives me chills. I don't listen to anything in the top 40 but the first two words of that line choke me up slightly, they sound so resigned and tired of the whole battle.
I think this is about both people in a relationship fighting for the upper hand - sometimes it seems like the best option because you're less likely to get hurt that way, but there shouldn't be an upper hand in love: it should just work.
