Anthem
Idina Menzel/Josh Groban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is an all too familiar scene.

Life imperceptibly coming between.

Those whose love is as strong as it could or should be.

Nothing has altered
Yet everything's changed.

No one stands still

Still I love you completely
And hope I always will.
Each day we get through
Means one less mistake
Left for the making.

And there's no return
As we slowly learn
Of the chances we're taking.

I'd give the world
To stay just as we are
It's better by far
Not to be too wise

Not to realize
Where there's truth
There will be lies.

You and I,
We've seen it all
Been down this road before,
Yet we go on believing.

You

You

And I,
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire,
Yet I still think I'm certain
This time it will be
My happy ending.





Thank you. It's from Molokov You were right.
She's here, landed from Moscow this morning. Bastard.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "One More Opponent," performed by Idina Menzel and Josh Groban, speak to the complexities and challenges of love over time. The opening lines set the scene of a relationship where life and its various struggles have come between two people who once shared a strong love. While nothing specific seems to have changed, the complexity of life has altered the dynamic between the two people. The chorus suggests that despite the obstacles, the singer loves their partner fully and hopes to always do so, even as they navigate their mistakes and take risks.


The bridge of the song tackles the idea of ignorance being bliss. The singer longs to remain in the moment, not fully realizing that every truth has its lies and complexities. The repetition of "You and I, we've seen it all" suggests that the two people in the relationship have been down this road before, but they continue to believe in their love and chase after what they desire. The final line, "This time it will be my happy ending," suggests that despite the challenges, the singer remains hopeful for their future with their partner.


Overall, "One More Opponent" is a poignant and insightful reflection on the twists and turns that come with long-term love. It acknowledges the challenges but ultimately offers a sense of hope and commitment.

@ymmsangel

Idina is wonderful in this final scene. Near the end before she sings "no you wouldn't listen anyhow. . ", she conveys so much emotion and heartbreak.
