MAGNETIC

Wage War's song 'MAGNETIC' delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship that, despite its destructive nature, continues to draw the individuals involved back together. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a cyclical pattern where the protagonist is chewed up and spit out, only to return again and again. This recurring theme of separation and reunion is likened to the force of magnetism, an inescapable pull that binds the two together despite their best efforts to break free.

The song's chorus emphasizes the inevitability of this connection. Lines like 'No matter how hard I try, you pull me back every time' and 'Try to push away but we’re right back in it' highlight the futility of resisting this magnetic force. The protagonist acknowledges their awareness of the situation, knowing where they shouldn't go when feeling low, yet feeling powerless to change the outcome. This sense of helplessness is further underscored by the line 'It’s out of my control,' suggesting that the relationship's pull is stronger than their will to escape.

In the second verse, the lyrics explore the idea of manipulation and control. The protagonist attempts to free themselves by 'pulling the strings,' but realizes that the hand controlling those strings isn't their own. This metaphor suggests an external force or influence that keeps them trapped in the toxic cycle. The final lines, 'It’s a force we can’t escape, we’re tied to fate,' reinforce the notion that this magnetic attraction is an unavoidable destiny, leaving the individuals forever bound to each other despite the pain and turmoil it brings.
