Battle Tapes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The years they come and go
It's all subjective
Worn boots and told you so's
Sews despair in to diamond rings
Burning everything as far as the eyes can see
If I can hold you tonight
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
I doubt it's going to change what we are inside
I got the message
I heard it loud and clear
Should have expected
So brash and cavalier
Leary from the dancing days
Born in to the world with two left feet in the grave
If I can hold you tonight
And keep you so safe armor falls aside
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
I doubt it's going to change what we are inside
If I can hold you tonight
And keep you so safe armor falls aside
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
I doubt it's going to change what we are inside
If I can hold you tonight
And keep you so safe armor falls aside
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
I doubt it's going to change what we are inside
The lyrics to Battle Tapes' song "Last Resort & Spa" suggest a sense of weariness and despair, with the singer reflecting on the passing of time and the subjective nature of life. The line "years of compression, the years they come and go" suggests that time can feel both long and short, depending on one's perspective. The singer also references "worn boots and told you so's," which could be interpreted as tired slogans or advice that has lost its meaning over time.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of holding onto love in the face of uncertainty and insecurity. The singer expresses a desire to hold their partner close and keep them safe, while acknowledging that this may not change what they are on the inside. The line "sews despair in to diamond rings, burning everything as far as the eyes can see" paints a picture of a world that is both beautiful and destructive, where even precious things can be tainted by despair.
Overall, "Last Resort & Spa" seems to capture a sense of disillusionment with the world and a yearning for connection and meaning in the face of uncertainty and hardship.
Line by Line Meaning
Years of compression
A long time of mounting pressure and stress
The years they come and go
Time passes by regardless of how we feel about it
It's all subjective
Perception varies from person to person
Worn boots and told you so's
Experience and advice from others, often ignored
Sews despair in to diamond rings
Even the most precious things in life can be tainted by despair
Burning everything as far as the eyes can see
Destroying everything in sight
If I can hold you tonight
Expressing a desire to hold someone close
And keep you so safe armor falls aside
Feeling secure enough to let one's guard down
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
Repeating the desire to hold someone close
I doubt it's going to change what we are inside
Realizing that physical touch cannot alter one's intrinsic nature
I got the message
Understanding the message being conveyed
I heard it loud and clear
Comprehending the message clearly
Should have expected
Recognizing that something was inevitable
So brash and cavalier
Being reckless and carefree
Leary from the dancing days
Wary from previous experiences
Born in to the world with two left feet in the grave
Feeling inadequate or out of place from birth until death

Seriously though, why don't you guys have more views? Is it intentional? I swear your music is some of the best jams I've been listening to for the past few years, and they keep getting better. Kudos guys, really.
@mgr0royall
don't worry, the blacklisters will get the views up.

Yep. I have never ever searched for a song from a TV show EVER!
But the tunes in this song are out of this world!
I really really want it without the singing!
@mgr0royall
Expert b download any new sound editing software and find the option to remove vocals and press the button.
