Fight for Your Love
Emika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fight, fight for your love,
Fight, fight for your love,
Fight, fight,
Kill me kill me kill me
It's my time to show you,
How it's gonna feel...
When we're together.
It's my time to show you,
All my secrets baby...
I told you to give it to me,
You follow so I can lead.
Take a risk and jump,
Make a bet and loose... everything.
You can undress me,
You can break my bones,
You can make me bleed,
You can take my dreams.
When I die I take nothing with me.
When I die I leave you here...
It's my time to show you,
How it's gonna feel...
How it's gonna feel,
When we're together.
It's my time to show you,
All my secrets baby...
Fight for your love,
Fight, fight for your love,
Fight, fight for your love,
Fight, fight,
Kill me kill me kill me
It's my time to show you,
How it's gonna feel...
How it's gonna feel,
When we're together.
It's my time to show you,
All my secrets baby...
The lyrics of Emika's "Fight for Your Love" are a plea to a lover to fight for their relationship. The repetition of the phrase "fight for your love" emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the importance of not giving up on a relationship that is worth fighting for. The line "Kill me kill me kill me" can be interpreted in a few different ways - it could represent a willingness to put it all on the line for love, or alternatively, a desire to escape the pain of a failing relationship even if it means sacrificing everything.
The verses of the song convey a sense of vulnerability and trust between the singer and their lover. The singer is opening up about their secrets and desires, and asking their lover to take a risk and follow their lead. The lines "You can undress me, you can break my bones, you can make me bleed, you can take my dreams" further emphasize the idea of vulnerability and trust - the singer is willing to give their lover everything, even if it means being hurt in the process.
Ultimately, the chorus brings it all back to the central message of the song - that love is worth fighting for, even if it means putting everything on the line. The repeated line "It's my time to show you, how it's gonna feel when we're together" suggests that the singer is confident that their love is strong enough to weather any storm, as long as they are both committed to fighting for it.
