No Matter What
●Papa Roach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By my side
You're everything I'm not, in my life
We're indestructible, we are untouchable
Nothing can take us down tonight
You are so beautiful
It should be criminal, that you could be mine
I promise you this love will never die
No matter what
I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to god
That in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
So believe me
When I say
You're the one
They'll never forgive us for the things we've done
We will make it out alive
I promise you this love will never die
No matter what
I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to god
That in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
We'll never fall
We'll never fade
I promise you forever
And my soul to take
No matter what
Until the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
And everybody said that we would never last
And if they saw us now
I bet they'd take it back
It doesn't matter what we do
Or what we say
'Cause nothing matters anyway
No matter what
I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to god
That in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
We'll never fall (we'll never fall)
We'll never fade (we'll never fade)
No matter what
Until the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
The song No Matter What by Papa Roach is a declaration of unconditional love, loyalty, and support between two people. The first verse emphasizes the importance of the other person in the singer's life, describing them as everything they are not. The chorus solidifies this with the promise of having each other's back through anything, even taking a bullet for one another, and the belief that they will be the last ones standing no matter what happens.
The second verse acknowledges that their love may be frowned upon by others due to their past actions, but ultimately, nothing else matters as long as they have each other. The bridge reiterates the promise of forever and the unbreakable nature of their bond. The song ends by defying the expectations of outsiders and reinforcing the strength of their love. The power of the song comes from its emphasis on the resilience of love and the importance of having someone who always has your back.
