Smells Like a Fight
Skirmish: SPORT (@corinnecurcio)
There is no demo for this song.
Liner Notes
Throwing out what I wrote at skirmish time, I started over and tried to write something about the spirit of competition. It feels like it needs something more.
Lyrics
It smells like a fight
It smells like a fight in here
It smells like a fight
It smells like a fight in here
Someone here did not write the rules
And they did not choose the day
But if it’s on the line to win or lose
Then they are here to stay
It smells like a fight
It smells like a fight in here
It smells like a fight
It smells like a fight in here
You join the contest
You don’t choose the competition
You put your skills to the test
You put yourself in position
It smells like a fight
It smells like a fight in here
It smells like a fight
It smells like a fight in here

Interesting take on the prompt. Fight is really present here.
I like the comparison of competition with fighting - it seems like top athletes have to have a lot of fight in them to be at the top of their game. I also like the parts of being an athlete that you really don't have control over. Nice use of repetition.
