Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The twenty ninth, I almost lost my life
Call myself being a hero trying
To guard your heart
No matter how hard I fought
It was over before it started
I thought that we were
Oh, I'm on the front line of disaster
Now it all makes sense, I've put it together
I guess what we have doesn't matter
You have me dying every night, just because
You got me fighting every night
To prove my love
We never giving up from fighting in the club
I'm dying for your love
I don't know what you want
You got me fighting every night
To prove my love
All I ever did was just try to play my part
Try to be the man who would not
Let you get taken advantage of
But you let it go on
And every time I see you with him
I wanna crack his dome
(t-tell me that I'm wrong)
But I thought we were
On the same side of the battle
Oh, I'm on the front line of disaster
Now it all makes sense, I've put it together
Guess what we have doesn't matter
You have me dying every night, just because
You got me fighting every night
To prove my love
We never giving up from fighting in the club
I'm dying for your love I
Don't know what you want
You got me fighting every night
To prove my love
You have me dying fighting, every night
Dying fighting, every night
You have me dying every night, just because
You got me fighting every night
To prove my love
We never giving up from fighting in the club
I'm dying for your love I
Don't know what you want
You got me fighting every night
To prove my love
On the same side of the battle, oh

The song opens with the singer reminiscing about a specific night, October 29th, where they almost lost their life while trying to be a hero and protect their partner's heart. However, despite their efforts, the relationship seems to be doomed from the start, as it ends before it even truly begins. The singer realizes that they were not on the same side of the battle and that their actions to prove their love were in vain. They feel like they are constantly fighting and dying for the love that seems elusive and unattainable.
The lyrics highlight the frustration and desperation felt by the singer as they continue to fight for a love that may not be reciprocated or valued by their partner. They have tried to play their part and be the person who safeguards their partner from being taken advantage of, but their efforts are in vain. The sight of their partner with someone else fills them with anger and jealousy, igniting a desire to confront the person who has seemingly replaced them.

Do you remember, that October night
Can you recall that specific night in October?
The twenty ninth, I almost lost my life
On the 29th of that month, my life was nearly endangered
Call myself being a hero trying
I believed I was acting heroically, attempting
To guard your heart
To protect your emotional well-being
No matter how hard I fought
Regardless of the effort I exerted
It was over before it started
It ended prematurely, even before commencing
I thought that we were
I had the belief that we were
On the same side of the battle
Aligned together in the same conflict
Oh, I'm on the front line of disaster
I find myself at the forefront of impending calamity
Now it all makes sense, I've put it together
It now comprehensibly fits, I have successfully connected the pieces
I guess what we have doesn't matter
Presumably, the significance of our relationship is inconsequential
You have me dying every night, just because
You cause me immense anguish every night, for no apparent reason
You got me fighting every night
You compel me to engage in conflict every night
To prove my love
In order to demonstrate the depth of my affection
We never giving up from fighting in the club
We persistently refuse to cease our disputes, even in public venues
I'm dying for your love
I am metaphorically perishing due to my intense love for you
I don't know what you want
I am unsure of your desires or intentions
You got me fighting every night
You keep pushing me into daily conflicts
All I ever did was just try to play my part
My only intention was to fulfill my role
Try to be the man who would not
Strive to be a man who would not
Let you get taken advantage of
Allow anyone to exploit you
But you let it go on
Yet you permit it to persist
And every time I see you with him
And each occasion I witness you being with him
I wanna crack his dome
I feel an overwhelming desire to harm him
(t-tell me that I'm wrong)
(Tell me that I am mistaken)
But I thought we were
However, I believed that we were
You have me dying every night, just because
You cause me immense anguish every night, for no apparent reason
You got me fighting every night
You compel me to engage in conflict every night
To prove my love
In order to demonstrate the depth of my affection
We never giving up from fighting in the club
We persistently refuse to cease our disputes, even in public venues
I'm dying for your love I
I am metaphorically perishing due to my intense love for you
Don't know what you want
I am unsure of your desires or intentions
You got me fighting every night
You keep pushing me into daily conflicts
You have me dying fighting, every night
You cause me immense anguish in the form of continuous fighting every night
Dying fighting, every night
Perishing while engaging in conflict, on a nightly basis
You have me dying every night, just because
You cause me immense anguish every night, for no apparent reason
You got me fighting every night
You compel me to engage in conflict every night
To prove my love
In order to demonstrate the depth of my affection
We never giving up from fighting in the club
We persistently refuse to cease our disputes, even in public venues
I'm dying for your love I
I am metaphorically perishing due to my intense love for you
Don't know what you want
I am unsure of your desires or intentions
You got me fighting every night
You keep pushing me into daily conflicts
On the same side of the battle, oh
Together, aligned on the same team in this struggle
