Soldiers
Dievanity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know how to kill someone inside
It came so natural to you,
Or at least is what your eyes have told me,
Your eyes have told me...

Queen of hearts, now come and get your crown
It's the only thing that makes you be somebody
When you know you're nothing

All my prayers so silent to your ears
Every drop of blood to calm
Your thirst of sins and holiness
All this now claims revenge!

Will I be ready when you come back?
What's stronger now,
My love for you or for myself?
Will I really win if I loose you?

It's a battle but no one will win or loose the war
We're like soldiers in this endless war of fools
Now celebrate our dead with a flower and a tear
And start a brand new heartbeat

Every time you look at me I have to fake
That your venom won't hurt if you bite again
Will I really live if I loose you?
Will I really win?





We know how to kill someone inside
We are soldiers after all...

Overall Meaning

The song "Soldiers" by Dievanity explores themes of inner conflict, love, and revenge. The opening line "You know how to kill someone inside" suggests that the singer is in a romantic relationship with someone who has hurt them deeply, and the pain they feel is akin to being killed. The line "It came so natural to you" implies that the person who hurt the singer may not even be aware of the extent of their actions, suggesting perhaps a lack of empathy or awareness. The singer's perception of the other person's apparent lack of guilt is reinforced when it is stated in the next line, "Or at least is what your eyes have told me, your eyes have told me...".


The singer then addresses this person directly, referring to them as the "Queen of hearts" and urging them to "come and get your crown." Taken in context, it seems that the singer is challenging the person to accept responsibility for what they have done, and to acknowledge that they have caused the singer significant pain. The line "It's the only thing that makes you be somebody when you know you're nothing" suggests that the other person is struggling with feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness, which may be contributing to their behavior.


The chorus introduces the theme of revenge, with the singer asserting that "All my prayers so silent to your ears, every drop of blood to calm your thirst of sins and holiness, all this now claims revenge!" The use of religious imagery is interesting here, as it seems to suggest that the person who has hurt the singer has a sort of religious fervor that they feel justifies their actions. By claiming revenge, the singer is rejecting this justification and asserting their right to seek justice.


Overall, the song "Soldiers" showcases a complex mix of emotions and themes, exploring love, loss, inner turmoil, and the desire for revenge. The lyrics are emotive and thought-provoking, inviting the listener to deeply consider their own experiences and emotions.
