I'll Survive You
BC Jean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and I, out on the battlefield
Shot your words, like a gun
And it hurts like hell, but I can deal, yeah
'Cause I don't need you to want me
I've got my pride
I'll survive you, even with all these wounds
All of the damage you've done to my life
That's right
You're not gonna see me cry
This time, I'll survive you
I'll get up, 8 AM
Every day just like any other day
Won't erase who I am
Did your best to try But I'm the same, yeah
So if you want me to need you
You'll be surprised
I'll survive you, even with all these wounds
I'm alright, I'll undo
All of the damage you've done to my life
That's right
You're not gonna see me cry
This time, I'll survive you
'Cause over and over again
You said you were locked in the cage
But I was the one with the chains
Not raising my flag once again
Yeah, I'll survive you, even with all these wounds
I'm alright, I'll undo
All of the damage you've done to my life
That's right (that's right)
You're not gonna see me cry
This time, I'll survive you
Yeah, I'll survive you
The song "I'll Survive You" by BC Jean is a powerful anthem of strength and resilience in the face of heartbreak and betrayal. The song's lyrics describe the aftermath of a painful breakup, with the singer and her former partner standing on opposite sides of a battlefield. The partner has hurt the singer deeply with their words, but despite the wounds, she is determined to move on and rebuild her life without them.
Throughout the song, BC Jean asserts her independence and pride, stating that she doesn't need her former partner's approval or validation to thrive. She acknowledges the damage that has been done to her life, but refuses to let it define her or break her spirit. Instead, she rises above the pain and chooses to focus on her own healing and growth.
One notable aspect of the song's lyrics is the sharp contrast between the singer's strength and resilience and her former partner's weakness and cowardice. While the partner is depicted as being trapped in a cage of their own making, the singer is the one holding the keys and refusing to be held back by the chains of the past.
