Fight Song
Bad Bad Hats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Let me down easy, my heart is fatal
I picture her walking, elbows in motion
I wish I'd catch fire like oil in the ocean
Whatever you do don't think of what could be
Whatever you do don't look up at the stars
Whatever you do don't think of what used to be
But I won't run and hide
From the missing arms that battle me
no I will stay and FIGHT!
Picture her naked, swallow, then chew it
You hate when I'm jealous, you hate that I knew it
Picture the future, step back to face it
Make love to me easy, my heart is basic
I won't run and hide from the missing arms that battle me
I won't run and hide, no I will stay and FIGHT!
Hold me back
, hold me back
Hold me back, I wanna come back
The lyrics to Bad Bad Hats' song Fight Song can be open to interpretation, but at its core, it speaks about a struggle with a past relationship. The first verse paints a picture of the singer sitting and reflecting on their feelings towards their past lover. They picture this person walking away while they are stuck in their own feelings, wishing they could feel something as intense as "catching fire like oil in the ocean." The chorus then advises the listener not to dwell on the past and the pain associated with it. However, the singer then asserts that they will not run from the "missing arms that battle" them and that they will fight.
The second verse is more visceral, with the singer speaking of jealousy and a desire for intimacy with their lover. They ask their lover to "make love to me easy, my heart is basic," implying a need for simplicity in their relationship. The chorus repeats the same desire to fight and stay present despite the pain.
Overall, the song offers a message of hope and strength, encouraging listeners to face their demons head-on instead of running away from them. It acknowledges the difficulty of this task but encourages perseverance and determination.
