You Want a Battle?
Bullet for My Valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war

Down eyes of shame
Made to feel dead again
Your words cut deep
Your lies are fueled by your need for deceit
Too scared to speak
You're only alive when you torture the weak
Now hear me roar

I will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war

I will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war

Don't be afraid
No remorse, no restraint
These scars won't heal
Now you're the victim I'm making you feel
Like you are me
I need you to know what you've done can you hear?
Can you hear me roar?

I will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
I will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war

You want a battle, here's a war
You want a battle, here's a war

Don't suffer in your silence
Know you are never alone

Don't suffer in your silence
Know you are never alone

We will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war

We will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war

We will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war

Here's a war

I fucking love this song SO much!!!

Ever since it came out it never fails to channel my depressed, weak emotions into strength, confidence and determination fueled by angered adrenaline.

I know who I am, I know how far l've come, it wasn't easy but if that couldn't push me over the edge, nothing can.
Persistence is my strongest trait.

Thank you Bullet For My Valentine for having the ability to put our emotions into words.
I believe I'm alive today because so many of your songs have helped me through my hardest times and continue to help me to this day.

From the bottom of my hurting heart, thank you. 🥹❤️

@Russian Maggot Метал-это разновидность рок-музыки. Рок-очень широкое понятие, в нем есть множество направлений. Метал направления отличает прежде всего отсутствие блюзовой основы, которая наблюдается в роке. Но даже без блюзовой основы метал остаётся разновидностью рока Металл тяжелее рока.
Ме́тал, или мета́лл, как ответвление рока имеет все его черты, но с характерными особенностями. Он отличается более мощным, тяжелым звучанием, скоростными агрессивными ритмами, жесткими риффами, гитарными соло-партиями, резким, напористым, энергичным, рычащим вокалом; искаженным, перегруженным гитарным звучанием, достигаемым с помощью особого звукового эффекта под названием «дисторшн». Центральный элемент композиции – гитарное соло, требующее виртуозного исполнения. Поэтому участник с электрогитарой – не менее значимый, чем вокалист, персонаж в коллективе. Вокал должен быть подчинен общему звучанию группы. Бас-гитара и ударные играют второстепенную роль, но они задают общий ритм музыки. Бас-гитарист часто использует медиатор, а ударная метал-установка оборудована намного сложнее стандартной. Обычно метал-группа состоит из бас-гитариста, а также ритм-гитариста, соло-гитариста, ударника и вокалиста (иногда добавляются клавишные). Из всех подвидов рок-музыки метал – наиболее театрализованное и мужественное действо, здесь нередко используются элементы шоу, дорогие декорации, пиротехника и прославляется культ силы. Музыканты могут выступать в специальных костюмах, в гриме и даже в масках. Исполнителей и поклонников метала можно отличить по традиционному для них имиджу, включающему кожаные штаны и куртки, металлические заклепки и цепи, черные майки с символикой, длинные волосы, татуировки. Близким к металу движением считаются мотоциклисты-байкеры. На всех концертах тяжелой музыки принято демонстрировать «козу» – символический жест двумя поднятыми пальцами руки, означающий приветствие, одобрение.

Отличие рока от метала
Метал – это составная часть рока. Любой метал относится к року, но не любой рок является металом.
Классический рок МЕНЕЕ жесткий, мощный и агрессивный, чем метал.
Для метала характерно искаженное, перегруженное гитарное звучание и жесткие риффы.
В рок-коллективе основную роль берет на себя вокалист. В метал-группе часто два лидера – вокалист и электрогитарист, поскольку важной частью действа является исполнение соло-партий на гитаре.
Исполнители и поклонники метала любят носить черные кожаную одежду и цепи, нередко пользуются мотоциклами. Это брутальный и "мужественный", несколько театрализованный стиль.

For Bullet for My Valentine’s fifth studio album, Venom, Tuck dug into his past and unearthed numerous memories of being beaten up and humiliated and used them as inspiration for the songs. The anthemic “You Want a Battle? (Here’s a War)” is about how, after his group became popular, Tuck took aim at those who made him feel hopeless and helpless. Even teachers at school told me to stop chasing this stupid dream and do something else with my life. They said I’d never be able to play guitar in a band and tour the world.Tuck sifted through his troubled past for Venom not to vent, but to match the musical aggression of the songs on the album. Didn't he prove all them wrong.

@ROHAN4953

Rikki Leigh i want to do the same and prove my parents and people around me wrong.
