How the clue works
fight meaningless battle is the definition, evoking Don Quixote charging at imaginary foes. The word "Silly" tells you to anagram NITWIT STILL MAD, and "getting left inside" means you slip in an L (the abbreviation for left); jumble all those letters together and you get TILT AT WINDMILLS.
