Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not rattled 'cause I'd shattered all of this before (this before)
Steadier than steel 'cause I'm ready with my shield and sword (shield and sword)
Back on the saddel 'cause I gotta get on my strength for more (strength for more)
And I won't bow, I won't break
No, I'm not afraid of you whatever it takes
I'll never bow, I'll never break
'Cause I'm a warrior
I fight for my life like a soldier
All through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive
I will conquer, time after time
I'll never falter, I will survive
I'm a warrior
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
I'm a warrior
Like a viking I'll be fighting through the day and night (day and night)
I'll be marching through the darkness 'til the morning light (morning light)
Even when it's harder like the armor you will see me shine (see me shine)
I won't stop and I won't drop 'till the victory's mine ()victory's mine)
And I won't bow, I won't break
No, I'm not afraid to do whatever it takes
I'll never bow, I'll never break
'Cause I'm a warrior
I fight for my life like a soldier
All through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive
I will conquer, time after time
I'll never falter, I will survive
I'm a warrior, oh
Oh, you can't shoot me down
You can't stop me now
I got a whole damn army
Oh, they tried to break me down
They tried to take me out
You can't cut a scar on me
I'm a warrior
I fight for my life like a soldier
All through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive (I am stronger)
I will conquer, time after time (I will conquer)
I'll never falter, I will survive (I'll never falter)
I'm a warrior (I'm a warrior)
Oh, oh, oh
I am a warrior
Oh, oh, oh
I am a warrior
In "Warrior," Avril Lavigne describes herself as a fighter who has faced many trials in her life and prevailed. She sings about her resilience, strength, and unyielding spirit, likening herself to a warrior who will never surrender. She talks about how she has learned to pick her battles and use her past experiences to become stronger, stating that she is ready to go back to battle because she is fueled by the strength she got from her past.
The first verse talks about how she is more robust than ever before after experiencing many tragedies in her life. She is claiming that she will not bow nor break from the battles that lie ahead. She further goes on to describe herself as a warrior who fights for her life like a soldier. She is prepared to march through darkness until the morning light and shine brighter than ever before. Her unflinching attitude towards life shows that she is a fighter in everything she does.
The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that she is a warrior, stronger and ready to conquer time after time. She says that she will never falter and will always survive whatever comes her way. Even when she faces her toughest battles, like a Viking, she will fight all through the day and night since giving up is not an option. The bridge describes how even with many obstacles, she will never surrender, and nobody can shoot her down or stop her from going forward.

My daughter was diagnosed with SMA syndrome that has a 33% mortality rate and affects less than 3% of the population. She fought so hard and had her NG tube finally removed yesterday. Although her journey will be lifelong I hear this song and it reminds me of how hard she fought. She never gave up. She’s the strongest young woman I’ll ever know. And even though I’m her mom she inspires me every day. 💕 thank you Avril for this song! It depicts her sooo well. 🥺🙏🏻🙌🏻
