About WAGING WAR

“WAGING WAR“ references the character’s “war” in his head with his pessimistic, existential thoughts, it’s also referring to the waging war the waves have constantly at sea. Oleka’s part in this song resembles a loved one, or a conscience of the character in the story. She has her doubts about him going on his journey, and is scared he might opt for the “common solution” people often tend to take when they are not in their best mental state. .

WAGING WAR Lyrics

[00:12.89] Who am I, to the closing door that’s been keeping score
[00:16.32] Who am I when the motion stops and I can’t ignore
[00:19.48] Who am I when the light is low, and there’s no horizon
[00:22.48] Who am I when I wash ashore, I can’t visualize it
[00:26.01] Who am I when I’m high
[00:27.48] I surrender to my heart
[00:29.24] Who am I when I’m high
[00:30.81] That’s the way I make it part
[00:32.40] Part the seas and I see me there
[00:34.37] He’s been waiting long
[00:35.65] When the hall becomes whole again
[00:37.24] Blink and I’ll be gone

[00:39.98] Breathe
[00:42.95] It’s your own advice
[00:46.42] Breathe
[00:49.34] Take your own advice
[00:52.63] Common solutions, all these common solutions but they won’t suffice
[00:59.58] I surrender

[01:05.46] Waging war (who am I to the open door that I’m going towards)
[01:11.78] Racing forward (who am I to the blinking light that’s been keeping score)
[01:17.73] Raging storm (who am I when I’m high, that’s the way I make it part)
[01:24.02] Shade me from eyes above (who am I when I’m high I surrender to my heart)

[01:30.84] Breathe
[01:34.16] It’s your own advice
[01:37.48] Breathe

[01:40.29] Take your own advice
[01:44.08] Common solutions, all these common solutions but they won’t suffice
[01:50.40] I surrender

[01:56.63] Waging war (I surrender to my heart)
[02:03.06] Racing forward (that’s the way I make it part)
[02:09.50] Raging horn (that’s the way I make it real)
[02:15.67] White flag under fire from above (the fulfillment of the deal)

[02:22.42] Breathe
[02:25.42] It’s your own advice
[02:28.58] Breathe
[02:31.66] Take your own advice
[02:35.15] Common solutions
[02:36.51] All these common solutions but they won’t suffice
[02:41.39] I surrender (I surrender)

[02:46.78] And I
[02:49.58] I can’t fly
[02:52.23] Like man down
[02:55.42] My hands tied
[02:58.70] And I
[03:01.17] Can’t die
[03:04.66] My lungs held
[03:07.98] On stand by, oh
[03:10.86] And I (who am I when you need me most, but won’t keep me close)
[03:14.82] Can’t die (who am I to the curtains that I’ve been keeping closed)
[03:17.96] My ears full (who am I when I’m high, I surrender to my)
[03:20.99] I’m too high (who am I when I’m high I surrender to my heart)

[03:46.48] Ohhh
[03:52.16] I surrender to my heart
[03:58.43] I surrender to my heart
[04:05.05] Surrender

[04:14.04] What’s left to say, ay
[04:17.38] Outta the roof I slip away way way
[04:20.10] And in the calm before the storm orm
[04:23.35] Forgive myself for being born born bornnn
[04:26.50] Reverse the loop and I’m swimming forward forward
[04:29.42] Chlorine hit me like chloroform form
[04:32.70] Miles away from my limbs and yours yours
[04:35.98] Do the dance till it don’t look forced forced forced
[04:39.66] Next time keep it to yourself
[04:41.47] I’m too vulnerable to kill
[04:42.98] At my weakest I’m everyone else
[04:44.72] I’m too vulnerable to kill
[04:46.19] Is that how you see yourself?
[04:47.68] You’re no killer in my eyes but you should see it for yourself
[04:50.95] Boy you’re not too proud to cry
[04:52.56] I’m too vulnerable to kill
[04:54.18] But I’m not too proud to die
[04:55.62] Never was and never will
[04:57.24] So you took a couple lives
[04:58.75] But you don’t even know how to die
[05:00.44] I’ve been vulnerable for years
[05:01.91] You’re still figuring out how to – die
[05:10.00]
