Intimate relationships can transform from sanctuaries of trust into battlefields of emotional warfare. This song explores the destructive dynamics of a relationship where both partners weaponize their past mistakes and hurt against each other. The metaphor of "war" represents the escalating conflict between lovers who once shared deep trust but now find themselves in opposition. The recurring question "Do we feel safe?" highlights the irony of how people can make their closest emotional havens feel threatening through constant fighting. The lyrics suggest a painful self-awareness about this destructive pattern, acknowledging how they're "screaming at the ones we love" while questioning if they're "better off alone." The emotional complexity is further emphasized by the recognition that they still deeply care for each other ("You've got my heart and I've got your soul"), even as they continue their cycle of mutual destruction.
Go to War
Lyrics
I don't know what you had in mind
But here we stand on opposing sides
Let's go to war
Let's go to war
We arm ourselves with the wrongs we've done
Name them off one by one
Let's go to war
Let's go to war
Everything you say
Everything you do
You push it in and you cut me down
And you cut me down
(War, war, war)
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Hush, my baby, make no sound
Maybe we can wait each other out
It's a cold war
Let's go to war
With every settled score
I thought that fighting with meant fighting for
But you turned it around
But you turned it around
(War, war, war)
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we censor or do we flow?
Are we drunk on the chemicals?
Every feeling in my bones tells me to lash out
And tell you, "fuck off"
You've got my heart and I've got your soul
But are we better off alone?
With every battle, we lose a little more
Remember everything that we died for
You are everything that I die for
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do you feel safe?
