urban trenches

Obi Once

who are the people
in these urban trenches
alone, sad and afraid
hiding for the violence
in this war called love

aware of the dangers
and taking risks
by exposing themselves
to those who can hurt them
in ways no bullet can

the idea was more towards getting hurt in relationships (not violence in the streets / robbery) and how it's hard to be open to new experiences if you've been hurt before (being in the trenches), but lyrics are open to interpretation. Glad to hear it did something to someone

oh i knew it was about relationships..
i got that out of it..both meanings actually struck me..
i should have mentioned the two rather than the one..
a good read it is..

thank you, my bet, I just didnt get the reference to the beat up.. but yeah where have all the good ppl gone? i kinda have my guard up whenever i'm around new ppl, while i'd rather not..
