Brave
Blaze Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never get close to the flame because the flame it can burn
Better not to play the game than never to win at your turn
Better to be on your own than trust a friend might betray
Better not follow a dream they don't come true anyway

Play to win not scared to lose
Walk the path you choose

Fortune favours the brave
Risking it all again and again
Fortune favours the brave
Fall after fall they climb up again

Ignore the doubt and the fear, traitors to all you believe
Now that you're getting so near, still they just try to deceive
Taking it risk at a time, trying to live every day
Trying to know your own mind, never to care what they say

Overall Meaning

Blaze's song Brave is all about taking risks and living fearlessly, with the repeated refrain of "Fortune favours the brave" emphasizing this central message. The verse lyrics offer various pieces of advice for those looking to live bravely: avoiding the dangers of getting "too close to the flame," being independent and unafraid of pursuing one's dreams, and not placing too much trust in others who may betray you. The pre-chorus encourages the listener to "play to win" and "walk the path you choose," while the chorus acknowledges that falling is a natural part of taking risks, but that the brave will climb back up again.
