#fight inside

MLAATR Jenny AMV fight inside (2014)

🎶We both know how this will end

But I do it again

And it finds me

The fight inside is coursing through my veins

And it's raging

The fight inside is hurting me again

And it finds me

The war within me pulls me under

And without you

@darkeststar310 you are so overdue for this answer I don’t know how to apologize, like ask me anything and I will give it to you!

Thank you for asking me about RED!  I love them so much because they sing the darkest parts of the human soul and make it tangible and beautiful.  Anyway, I’m pretty sure with this ask game I was supposed to tell you my top three favorite songs from the album, but guess what?  I DO WHAT I WANT.  SO YOU GET MY TOP FOUR IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

1.  Fight Inside:  Look, there are a few songs I turn to when I am writing a story or hunting for the perfect angsty song to ascribe to my favorite characters.  One of these songs is Fight Inside.  The inner war inside the mind, the whispered “It’s nothing, it’s everything,” every single contrast…so much pain, so much broken humanity

2.  Mystery of You:  This is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE RED songs.  There is pain here as well, the pain of the unknown, the lost, the longing.  Like many of RED’s songs, this one breathes spiritual themes (at least in my mind) and so depending on what I am thinking about it can have so many different layers and levels.  My favorite lines (I’m lying I love every single line):   

“You touch the deepest part of meThe places I could not saveJust tell me why I’m so dark inside”

That need to be understood, to be able to understand oneself, the idea that knowing and understanding might be a step to love and peace…which it must be, because even with all our failings how can one TRULY know and understand oneself or another without loving them at least a little?

3.  Never Be the Same:  Yet another song that can be read on a spiritual or non-spiritual level.  A song about being transformed by the love of someone, and how the love for that person will never die, no matter if that person is gone or cannot be felt.  Maybe it is about two people who have loved one another and gone their separate ways, maybe it is about someone who has died, maybe it is about the relationship between God and a person…whatever it is I love it

and

4.  Forever:  THIS IS MY FAVORITE RED SONG.  MAYBE.  IT IS AMAZING.  THIS IS EVERYTHING.  IT IS ABOUT LOVE AND PATIENCE AND FORGIVENESS AND AWE AT ALL OF THOSE THINGS.  IT IS REUNION OF TWO BEINGS.  IT IS THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNING TO THE FATHER.  IT IS GOD SAVING THE SINNER.  IT IS JOY AND WONDER AND DISBELIEF AND OH GOSH I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS

CAN I CHOOSE A FAVORITE LINE PROBABLY NOT 

I LOVE THE BRIDGE AND CHORUS THOUGH:
