Toy Soldiers
Groove Da Praia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
It's true, I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay
When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes the fall
(Won't you come out and play with me?)
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers
It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be?
How could I be so blind to this addiction?
If I don't stop, the next one's gonna be me
Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me?)
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers
We never win
Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me?)
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers
The song "Toy Soldiers" by Groove da Praia is a cover of the 1989 hit song by American rapper and producer, Martika. The lyrics talk about addiction and the struggles that come with it. The first stanza talks about the consequences of one's actions and how they can lead to falling down like toy soldiers. The second stanza admits to the mistake of extending the invitation that led to addiction and further explores the struggles that come with it.
The chorus talks about the pain and suffering that addiction brings, and how it is a never-ending battle for "toy soldiers." The song's bridge highlights the destructive nature of addiction and how it can replace everything in one's life, leading to emptiness.
Overall, the song is a powerful metaphor for the struggles of addiction and the hopelessness that can come with it. It speaks to the dangers of succumbing to temptation and the importance of recognizing when enough is enough.
