Battle
Blur愀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh

Battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh

Completion search
Here I love the bow
See me walk on down to
Adorn myself, it's a new song glory
'Cause see me, what do you think of now

Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh
Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh

Can turn your sights
Kill until sub-zero
See me oh it turns you on

All my gawe
It's the end of your
Take your last one now

Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh
Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh

Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh
Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh





Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blur's song "Battle" are somewhat cryptic and difficult to interpret. The repeated use of the word "battle" suggests that the song is about conflict or fighting, either physical or metaphorical. The specific phrase "battle someone" implies a challenge or confrontation, and the repeated chanting of this phrase gives the song a sense of urgency and intensity.


The opening lines of the song, "Completion search / Here I love the bow," are perhaps more difficult to understand. The phrase "completion search" might refer to a desire to find fulfillment or meaning in life, while "love the bow" could be interpreted in a few different ways - it could refer to a physical bow as a weapon, a bowing gesture of respect, or simply a reference to a sense of completion or resolution.


The next lines, "See me walk on down to / Adorn myself, it's a new song glory," seem to suggest that the singer is preparing for some kind of battle or challenge, and that they are reveling in the opportunity to show off their skills or abilities. The phrase "new song glory" is again somewhat enigmatic, but could be interpreted as a reference to a sense of triumph or victory.


The later lines of the song, "Can turn your sights / Kill until sub-zero / See me oh it turns you on / All my gawe / It's the end of your / Take your last one now," paint a more violent picture of conflict, with references to killing and death. The phrase "gawe" is another unclear term, but could be a variation of the word "gore," which would fit with the violent imagery of these lines.


Overall, the meaning of "Battle" remains somewhat opaque, but the song seems to draw on themes of conflict, challenge, and violence.

[Verse 1]
My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California, too
He drives a Chevy Malibu
And when he calls, he calls for me and not for you
He lives for love, he loves his drugs, he loves his baby, too

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't fix him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather

[Chorus]
But you are unfixable
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

[Verse 2]
My baby lives in shades of cool
Cold heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women, too
I'm one of many, Bonnie's blue
And when he calls, he calls for me and not for you
He prays for love, he prays for peace, and maybe someone new
You might also like
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't help him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather

[Chorus]
'Cause you are unfixable
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

[Bridge]
You're hot, hot weather in the summer
Hot, hot, unforgiving lover
Hot, hot weather in the summer
Hot, unforgiving lover
You're crumbling, sadly
You're crumbling, sadly

[Chorus]
You are unfixable
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

[Outro]
Pa pa da pa
Pa pa da ah, oh
Oh, oh
Oh

My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California too
He drives a Chevy Malibu
And when he calls
He calls for me and not for you
He lives for love, he loves his drugs
He loves his baby too
But I can't fix him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about this strange weather
But you are unfixable
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable
My baby lives in shades of cool
Cool heart, and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women, too
I'm one of many, one is blue
And when he calls
He calls for me and not for you
He prays for love, he prays for peace
And maybe someone new
But I can't help him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather
'Cause you are unfixable
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable
(You're hot, hot, weather in the summer
High, high, neglectful lover
Hot, hot, weather in the summer
High, a bird flew over
You're crumbling, sadly
I'm sorry
You're gone with me)
You are unfixable
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

Lana wasn't made for this time. It's like she time traveled. We're so lucky to be blessed with such a perfect human. 

@Andrew-ky8vr

She was a made for a place with no time, she should have been born into the immortal universe to bless the heavens for eternity. Instead the gods gave us queen to fix our tragic earth. She is the gift born from the heavens.  

@evilangel1838

Her voice is literally what an angel probably sounds like when you're standing at the gates of heaven

@albiz007

always be skeptical when such a beautiful visage comes your way. Always remember the tales of the sirens in the writings of Homer, and let us not forget delilah. There is much wisdom there my young padawan. 

@expensivesweetpotato

I feel like crying, she's so perfect.

@karenpalma5565
