You Want a Battle?
Bullet for My Valentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
Down eyes of shame
Made to feel dead again
Your words cut deep
Too scared to speak
You're only alive when you torture the weak
Now hear me roar
I will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
I will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
Don't be afraid
No remorse, no restraint
These scars won't heal
Now you're the victim I'm making you feel
Like you are me
I need you to know what you've done can you hear?
Can you hear me roar?
I will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
I will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
You want a battle, here's a war
You want a battle, here's a war
Don't suffer in your silence
Know you are never alone
Don't suffer in your silence
Know you are never alone
We will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
We will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
We will not take this anymore
These words will never be ignored
You want a battle
Here's a war
Here's a war
The lyrics of "You Want a Battle?" by Bullet for My Valentine are a powerful statement against bullying and injustice. The song is about standing up to someone who tries to bring you down and refusing to be a victim anymore. The first verse talks about how the lies and deceit of others can hurt deeply and make you feel dead inside. But the chorus announces that the singer is no longer going to tolerate this treatment and declares a battle against the oppressor. The second verse continues this theme by describing the scars left by bullying and how the singer is going to make the aggressor feel what they have done. The bridge of the song includes a repeated line about not suffering in silence and knowing that you are never alone.
The song can be seen as a call to action for those who have been bullied or oppressed, encouraging them to stand up for themselves and fight back. The lyrics are full of powerful images of strength and defiance, and the chorus in particular is a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt trapped and helpless. The repeated line "You want a battle? Here's a war" is a bold statement of intent, and it's clear that this song is meant to inspire courage and determination in the face of adversity.

We will not take this anymore
We refuse to endure this unpleasant situation any longer
These words will never be ignored
We will not neglect or dismiss these words
You want a battle
You are looking for a confrontation
Here's a war
We will respond to your hostility with a full-blown fight
Down eyes of shame
Your eyes are cast downwards in embarrassment
Made to feel dead again
You feel useless and demotivated once more
Your words cut deep
Your hurtful words cause significant emotional damage
Your lies are fueled by your need for deceit
Your falsehoods are driven by your desire to deceive
Too scared to speak
You are afraid to voice your true thoughts
You're only alive when you torture the weak
You feel energized only when you can harm those who are weaker than you
Now hear me roar
Pay close attention to my loud, powerful expression of anger and defiance
Don't be afraid
Don't let your fear hold you back
No remorse, no restraint
I will not hold back or feel regret for my actions
These scars won't heal
The emotional pain you caused will not go away easily
Now you're the victim I'm making you feel
You are now on the receiving end of the pain you inflicted on me
Like you are me
I want you to understand what it feels like to be in my position
I need you to know what you've done can you hear?
I want you to acknowledge and comprehend the harm you've caused
Don't suffer in your silence
Don't endure your pain quietly and alone
Know you are never alone
Understand that there are others who are going through similar situations

I fucking love this song SO much!!!
Ever since it came out it never fails to channel my depressed, weak emotions into strength, confidence and determination fueled by angered adrenaline.
I know who I am, I know how far l've come, it wasn't easy but if that couldn't push me over the edge, nothing can.
Persistence is my strongest trait.
Thank you Bullet For My Valentine for having the ability to put our emotions into words.
I believe I'm alive today because so many of your songs have helped me through my hardest times and continue to help me to this day.
From the bottom of my hurting heart, thank you. 🥹❤️

@Russian Maggot Метал-это разновидность рок-музыки. Рок-очень широкое понятие, в нем есть множество направлений. Метал направления отличает прежде всего отсутствие блюзовой основы, которая наблюдается в роке. Но даже без блюзовой основы метал остаётся разновидностью рока Металл тяжелее рока.
Ме́тал, или мета́лл, как ответвление рока имеет все его черты, но с характерными особенностями. Он отличается более мощным, тяжелым звучанием, скоростными агрессивными ритмами, жесткими риффами, гитарными соло-партиями, резким, напористым, энергичным, рычащим вокалом; искаженным, перегруженным гитарным звучанием, достигаемым с помощью особого звукового эффекта под названием «дисторшн». Центральный элемент композиции – гитарное соло, требующее виртуозного исполнения. Поэтому участник с электрогитарой – не менее значимый, чем вокалист, персонаж в коллективе. Вокал должен быть подчинен общему звучанию группы. Бас-гитара и ударные играют второстепенную роль, но они задают общий ритм музыки. Бас-гитарист часто использует медиатор, а ударная метал-установка оборудована намного сложнее стандартной. Обычно метал-группа состоит из бас-гитариста, а также ритм-гитариста, соло-гитариста, ударника и вокалиста (иногда добавляются клавишные). Из всех подвидов рок-музыки метал – наиболее театрализованное и мужественное действо, здесь нередко используются элементы шоу, дорогие декорации, пиротехника и прославляется культ силы. Музыканты могут выступать в специальных костюмах, в гриме и даже в масках. Исполнителей и поклонников метала можно отличить по традиционному для них имиджу, включающему кожаные штаны и куртки, металлические заклепки и цепи, черные майки с символикой, длинные волосы, татуировки. Близким к металу движением считаются мотоциклисты-байкеры. На всех концертах тяжелой музыки принято демонстрировать «козу» – символический жест двумя поднятыми пальцами руки, означающий приветствие, одобрение.
Отличие рока от метала
Метал – это составная часть рока. Любой метал относится к року, но не любой рок является металом.
Классический рок МЕНЕЕ жесткий, мощный и агрессивный, чем метал.
Для метала характерно искаженное, перегруженное гитарное звучание и жесткие риффы.
В рок-коллективе основную роль берет на себя вокалист. В метал-группе часто два лидера – вокалист и электрогитарист, поскольку важной частью действа является исполнение соло-партий на гитаре.
Исполнители и поклонники метала любят носить черные кожаную одежду и цепи, нередко пользуются мотоциклами. Это брутальный и "мужественный", несколько театрализованный стиль.

For Bullet for My Valentine’s fifth studio album, Venom, Tuck dug into his past and unearthed numerous memories of being beaten up and humiliated and used them as inspiration for the songs. The anthemic “You Want a Battle? (Here’s a War)” is about how, after his group became popular, Tuck took aim at those who made him feel hopeless and helpless. Even teachers at school told me to stop chasing this stupid dream and do something else with my life. They said I’d never be able to play guitar in a band and tour the world.Tuck sifted through his troubled past for Venom not to vent, but to match the musical aggression of the songs on the album. Didn't he prove all them wrong.

Rikki Leigh i want to do the same and prove my parents and people around me wrong.
