Annotations and Meaning of Sariling Digmaan:

The title Sariling Digmaan translates to "My Own War," setting the tone for a deeply personal song. The track delves into the internal battles we all face.

Bakit hindi makalaya sa sarili kong digmaan
Wala naman talagang hadlang
Wala namang harang

These opening lines reflect the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind. Despite there being no real barriers, the fear and uncertainty hold the narrator back.

Sadyang takot lang na sumugod at mapaluhod sa pagod
Takot na magkamali
Takot na baka mali ang tinatahak na daan
'Di makausad kakaisip kung pa'no aahon

The verse highlights the fear of making mistakes and the exhaustion from constant overthinking. This fear paralyzes the narrator, preventing progress.

Sa sarili kong digmaan
Walang makapitan
Walang malapitan
O wala ba talaga
O hindi mo lang alam kung kanino sasama

In the chorus, the feeling of isolation is emphasized. The narrator feels there is no one to turn to for support, creating a sense of loneliness in their struggle.

Ilang taon na ang lumipas
Gulong-gulo ang isipan
'Di makahanap ng sagot
Nalunod na sa dami ng tanong sa sarili

This verse indicates the passage of time without finding answers. The narrator's mind is confused and overwhelmed by self-doubt and questions.

Paulit-ulit lang naman
'di makaahon, hindi makausad
Paikot ikot lang naman
'Di ginusto ngunit 'di makalaya
Sa digmaang ako lang nakakaalam
Pa'no ba? Saan ba? Hanggang dito na lang ba?

The bridge shows a cycle of feeling stuck. Despite not wanting this struggle, the narrator feels unable to escape. They question if this is all there is.

Sa sarili kong digmaan
Na ako ang may gawa
Sa sarili kong digmaan
Pa’no ba lalaya?

The outro reflects a realization that the battle is self-created. The narrator wonders how to find freedom from their own internal war.
