Champion
Fall Out Boy feat. RM Of BTS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Champion, champion

I'm calling you from the future
To let you know we've made a mistake
There's a fog from the past that's giving me, giving me such a headache

And I'm back with a madness
I'm a champion of the people who don't believe in champions
I got nothing but dreams inside, I got nothing but dreams

I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe in, yeah

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

Champion, champion
Champion, champion

I got rage every day, on the inside
The only thing I do is sit around and kill time
I'm trying to blow out the pilot light
I'm trying to blow out the light

I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

Champion, champion
I can do anything
Champion, champion
And I can do anything

Champion, champion
And I can do anything
Champion, champion
I can do anything!

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
And I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this, I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything





Champion, champion

Overall Meaning

The song "Champion" by Fall Out Boy is a reflection on the struggles and challenges that the lead singer has faced throughout his life. The lyrics suggest that the singer is reaching out to his younger self, speaking from the future, to let him know that even though he is going through tough times now, he will come out stronger on the other side.


The chorus of "Champion" uses the word "champion" as a rallying cry, urging the listener to persevere in the face of adversity. The verses, however, reveal a more vulnerable side to the singer. He speaks of the rage he feels on the inside and how he often sits around killing time. He feels lost and unsure of what to believe in, but still holds onto his dreams and hopes for the future.


The repetition of "If I can live through this, I can do anything" emphasizes the importance of overcoming obstacles and using those experiences to build strength and resilience. The song ultimately serves as an anthem for anyone who is struggling, encouraging them to keep pushing forward and never give up.

RM lyrics always hit me like in this song when he said “have you ever felt how hard it is to be an anybody, to be living, to be breathing, not choosing a dead body”

@namu7868

Yeah

@waltertomaszewski1083

Gabriela Membreno That lyric brings to my mind Kim Jong-Hyun of SHINee, who died 2 years and a month ago. He just couldn’t handle it anymore. Rest easy, Bro. 😢😢😢
