The Quiet Before the Fight

Lyrics for the song ‘The Quiet Before the Fight’ by Abu Sayed. Explore the story behind the music.

I feel the tension pulling close across the wooden floor
A heavy silence settling just outside the door
The shadows dancing slowly on the faded wall
I’m waiting for the moment when the defenses fall
We poured a couple glasses, sitting by the fire
Every look you throw my way is fueling the desire
The rain is coming down, washing out the town tonight
We’re caught inside the quiet just before the fight
Your eyes are pulling secrets from my heavy chest
My hands are tracing lines where you come to rest
The temperature is rising as the hours fade
I want to lose myself inside the mess we made
Oh, this is the quiet before the storm breaks through
There’s nothing in the world I want as much as you
We’re burning down the distance, tearing up the night
Let’s surrender to the quiet just before the fight
Surrender to the quiet
Yeah, falling in the quiet just before the fight
I hear your steady breathing like a gentle wave
This is the kind of feeling that I always crave
The embers are glowing, reflecting in your gaze
We’re stepping past the edges of a perfect haze
Your eyes are pulling secrets from my heavy chest
My hands are tracing lines where you come to rest
The temperature is rising as the hours fade
I want to lose myself inside the mess we made
Oh, this is the quiet before the storm breaks through
There’s nothing in the world I want as much as you
We’re burning down the distance, tearing up the night
Let’s surrender to the quiet just before the fight
Surrender to the quiet
Yeah, falling in the quiet just before the fight
I’ve walked a hundred miles of dusty, empty roads
But nothing hits as heavy as the passion that unfolds
And when you whisper Sayed, the world just fades to black
There is no going forward, and there is no looking back
We’re stepping through the shadows, leaving everything behind
I am losing all my senses, I am beautifully blind
I can feel your heartbeat racing against mine
Let’s just stay right here, until the end of time
Oh, this is the quiet before the storm breaks through
There’s nothing in the world I want as much as you
We’re burning down the distance, tearing up the night
Let’s surrender to the quiet just before the fight
