Champion
Elina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Late nights on your pillow
Love as fast as light
Faded into echoes
In my ventricles
I carry this cargo
Sinking deeper down
And though your love was shallow
I managed to drown

Is this how you're gonna make me look now?
Is this how you're gonna walk right out?
Then you better do it like a champion
And break my heart once and for all
Do you feel good knowing that you've won now?
Do you get high when I hit my lows?
Yeah, I hope you feel like you're a champion
When you break my heart once and for all

I keep bending backwards
You take aim and shoot
I'm on pins and needles
Your skin's bulletproof
Don't try to be noble
Leaving me for dead
And though your love is hollow
I could use a hand

Is this how you're gonna make me look now?
Is this how you're gonna walk right out?
Then you'd better do it like a champion
And break my heart once and for all
Do you feel good knowing that you've won now?
Do you get high when I hit my lows?
Yeah, I hope you feel like you're a champion
When you break my heart once and for all, hmm

(Woah, woah, woah)

Just break my heart once and for all
Do you feel good knowing that you've won now? (Woah)
Do you get high when I hit my lows? (Woah)
Yeah, I hope you feel like you're a champion (woah)
When you break my heart once and for all




Yeah, I hope you feel like you're a champion
When you break my heart once and for all

Overall Meaning

In Elina's song "Champion," the lyrics describe the aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening lines "Late nights on your pillow, Love as fast as light, Faded into echoes, In my ventricles" highlights the intensity of the love that was once shared, but has now dissipated into a distant memory. Evidently, the singer carries the burden of the relationship as the lyrics state "I carry this cargo, Sinking deeper down, And though your love was shallow, I managed to drown." The line "And though your love is hollow, I could use a hand" implies that even though the love between them wasn't genuine, the singer is still holding onto the hope of reconciliation.


The chorus of the song is confrontational as Elina sings "Is this how you're gonna make me look now? Is this how you're gonna walk right out? Then you better do it like a champion, And break my heart once and for all." She is daring her ex-partner to end things and leave her completely. Even though the singer is hurting, she challenges her ex-partner to do it gracefully and with the confidence of a champion.


In the second verse, the lyrics illustrate vulnerability as Elina sings "I keep bending backwards, You take aim and shoot, I'm on pins and needles, Your skin's bulletproof." The singer is putting in all the effort to keep the relationship going, but her ex-partner is not reciprocating. The lyrics of the song demonstrate a sense of disillusionment about the relationship and highlights the singer's willingness to let go.

Verse 1]
Late nights on your pillow
Love as fast as light
Fading in to echoes
In my ventricles
I carry this cargo
Sinking deeper down
And though your love was shallow
I managed to drown

[Chorus]
Is this how you're gonna make me look now?
Is this how you're gonna walk right out?
Then you'd better do it like a champion
And break my heart once and for all
Do you feel good knowing that you've won now?
Do you get high when I hit my lows?
Yeah I hope you feel like you're a champion
When you break my heart once and for all

[Verse 2]
I keep bending barrels
You take aim and shoot
I'm on pins and needles
Your skin's bulletproof
Don't try to be noble
Leaving me for dead
And though your love is hollow
I could use a hand

[Chorus]
Is this how you're gonna make me look now?
Is this how you're gonna walk right out?
Then you'd better do it like a champion
And break my heart once and for all
Do you feel good knowing that you've won now?
Do you get high when I hit my lows?
Yeah I hope you feel like you're a champion
When you break my heart once and for all

[Outro]
Just break my heart once and for all
Do you feel good knowing that you've won now?
Do you get high when I hit my lows?
Yeah I hope you feel like you're a champion
When you break my heart once and for all
Yeah I hope you feel like you're a champion
When you break my heart once and for all

Tard, le soir, sur ton oreiller
L’amour, à la vitesse de la lumière
S’évanouissant dans des échos
Dans mes ventricules
Je transporte ce chargement
Je sombre plus profond
Et même si ton amour était superficiel
J’ai réussi à m’y noyer

De quoi je vais avoir l’air maintenant ?
Tu vas donc partir comme ça, directement ?
Alors, tu ferais mieux de le faire comme un champion
Et me briser le cœur une fois pour toutes
Tu te sens bien en sachant que tu as gagné à présent ?
Es-tu au septième ciel quand je touche le fond ?
Oui, j’espère que tu te sentiras comme un champion
Quand tu me briseras le cœur une fois pour toutes

Je continue de pencher vers l’arrière
Tu vises et tu tires
Je suis sur des charbons ardents
Ta peau est résistante aux balles
N’essaie pas d’être noble
En me laissant pour morte
Et même si ton amour est sanctifié
Je pourrais avoir besoin d’un coup de main


De quoi je vais avoir l’air maintenant ?
Tu vas donc partir comme ça, directement ?
Alors, tu ferais mieux de le faire comme un champion
Et me briser le cœur une fois pour toutes
Tu te sens bien en sachant que tu as gagné à présent ?
Es-tu au septième ciel quand je touche le fond ?
Oui, j’espère que tu te sentiras comme un champion
Quand tu me briseras le cœur une fois pour toutes

Brise-moi simplement le cœur une fois pour toutes
Tu te sens bien en sachant que tu as gagné à présent ?
Es-tu au septième ciel quand je touche le fond ?
Oui, j’espère que tu te sentiras comme un champion
Quand tu me briseras le cœur une fois pour toutes
Oui, j’espère que tu te sentiras comme un champion
Quand tu me briseras le cœur une fois pour toutes

She sounds like she's about to cry and she is really determined to show him he doesn't matter and that's really powerful... moved me to tears.
