Warriors
Cheeky Chappy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And watch from far away.
But you always knew that you'd be the one
To work while they all play.
In youth you'd lay
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change,
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
Will come
When you'll have to rise
Above the best and prove yourself,
Your spirit never dies!
Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above,
But don't weep for me
'Cause this will be
The labor of my love
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
The lyrics to Cheeky Chappy's song Warriors describe a journey of self-discovery and the idea of overcoming obstacles to achieve one's dreams. The first verse describes the singer as a child, observing others from a distance, already knowing that they will have to work harder than others to achieve their goals. In the second verse, the lyrics touch on the struggles and the fear that the singer experienced as a youth, continuously dreaming about achieving their goals, but feeling like it was nothing more than a fantasy.
However, the chorus marks a shift in perspective, signifying that the singer is ready to take on the challenges and overcome them. They are now a warrior who has built their town, and they are encouraging others to join them rather than turn away. The third verse highlights the idea that one must rise above the best and prove themselves, and the last lines of the song talk about the realization that all the hard work that they put in was the labor of their love.
