Prove to You
Chevelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll fight your war,
Promise not to lose,
Give in to circumstance,
Not gonna prove to you

Learn of patience worth to you,
Many teacher, no student,
We go by name, not by rank,
Too many sighs incompetent

There's no bond between some men,
A concept already known,
What little time you try to give,
A big cheer for you alone

Relax and try again,
Broke off, broke up and spent,
He's choking in left field,
Can't tell this place is doomed,
Now no place like home,
Doomed, now
No place like home

I'm gonna prove to you
I'm gonna prove to you
I'm gonna prove to you
I'm gonna, gonna
I'm gonna prove to you
I'm gonna prove to you
I'm gonna prove to you
I'm gonna, gonna

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chevelle's song "Prove to You" portray a sense of defiance and independence. The first line, "I'll fight your war, promise not to lose," suggests that the singer is willing to engage in a conflict but on their own terms. The second line, "Give in to circumstance, not gonna prove to you," further emphasizes the singer's refusal to be coerced or prove themselves to someone else.


The rest of the song follows a theme of self-discovery and perseverance. The lines, "Learn of patience worth to you, many teacher, no student," suggest that the singer has struggled to find guidance from others, perhaps due to their own innate sense of pride or distrust. The line "There's no bond between some men, a concept already known" suggests that the singer may have experienced betrayal or lack of trust in the past leading them to a sense of self-reliance.


The chorus, "I'm gonna prove to you" repeated multiple times, reinforces the singer's desire to prove themselves to themselves, not to anyone else. The final line, "now no place like home," suggests that through the practice of self-reliance and personal growth, the singer has finally found inner peace and a sense of home within themselves.
