Fight Song
Alex Goot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice?
This time this is my fight song
Take-back-my-life song
Prove-I'm-alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep they say I'm in too deep
And it's been two years
And I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
And I still believe yeah I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice?
This time this is my fight song
Take-back-my-life song
Prove-I'm-alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My powers turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me
Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me
"Fight Song" is a song about inner strength, perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. The lyrics metaphorically compare the singer to a small boat on the ocean, capable of making big waves that can set things in motion. The song suggests that even small actions can have a big impact on the world. As the singer says, "I might only have one match, but I can make an explosion." This line suggests that even though the singer may feel small and insignificant, they have the power to make a difference in the world.
The lyrics also express the singer's frustration and anger about things that they didn't say, but wish they had. The "wrecking balls inside my brain" could represent the thoughts and feelings that the singer has been holding back, like regrets or grievances they've been carrying around. The singer wants to let them out, to scream them out loud and be heard. The chorus is a declaration that this is their "fight song", to take back control of their life, prove to themselves that they can overcome their struggles and be strong.
Overall, "Fight Song" is a powerful anthem of resilience, a song that reminds us that, even in our darkest moments, we all have the strength within us to keep fighting and never give up.

I miss the SOUND of the old studio. It sounded "warmer" and more lovely. Alex, do you know what I mean?
Anyway it sounds awesome. But the sound is definitely other than in the old studio.. gootmusic

@joergschroeder
You're one of those, giving YouTube a meaning to me. Even if you're playing your own songs or you're covering, you are extremly tasteful in treating every piece of music. You make the songs shine somehow.
Often I like your covers better than the original. And you've had always a trademark sound right from the earliest uploads I have seen so far.
You definitely deserve all of those million clicks!!
