Lyrics:
N/A
Behind the Song:
Bringing the album full circle, the final bonus track reinvents “Fight Inside” as a bleak confessional poured out over soul-darkened piano play and strings. Songwriter-guitarist Jasen Rauch explains, “‘Fight Inside’ best summarizes the dualism that drives the entire album, and we wanted to capture that concept in a musical form. The song shows how drastic two sides of the same coin can be.” Though the lyrics are essentially the same, this stripped-down version is more about mood and spirit with special emphasis on the “nothing and everything” bridge. Ironically, unlike in “Fight Inside,” in this version singer Michael Barnes never sings “nothing.” It’s as though some of the internal struggle is resolving itself. “These things are polar opposites, but we wanted to capture the dualism where both elements co-exist,” explains Rauch, “even though at any given moment, we might lean heavier in one direction. We wanted the album to finish on an optimistic tone.”
