Battle Cry
Ludo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You been down so long, you've forgotten to believe (in yourself)
You're watching it slip away
You been kicked around, they got you on your knees
But they're all the same
They laugh and walk away
And they think you'll turn around and go back home
You'd never win
You don't just climb the hill and grab the crown
But they're all the same
Scared of judgment day
And they're sure you'll turn around and go back home
But no
We are young, but we will never die
We won't give up, this is our battle cry
We will defeat the other guy!
Gonna sit there in defeat?
You better suck it up boy, and get up off the ground (where's your pride?)
You forget they made you bleed?
They kicked you like a dog when you were down
If there's anyone (anyone)
Lookin' out above (lookin' out)
Then they'll never see us coming to reclaim
Our glorious day
We are young, but we will never die
We won't give up, this is our battle cry
We dreamed the dreams, now we will fight the fight
We will defeat the other guys!
And we'll eat their dreams until they die inside
We'll raise their kids and commandeer their wives
We'll curse their gods and drink up all their wine
We will defeat the other guys!
We will defeat the other guy!
We will defeat the other guy!
The song "Battle Cry" by Ludo is a powerful anthem about perseverance and the refusal to give up in the face of adversity. The opening lyrics express a sense of hopelessness and despair, but quickly turn towards a call to action. The message is clear: despite being knocked down repeatedly and facing ridicule and scorn from others, the singer and their peers will not be deterred. The chorus is a rallying cry, vowing to never give up and to fight until victory is achieved.
The second verse speaks to the doubters and naysayers who have dismissed and underestimated the singer and their allies. They may have been told that they were not capable of achieving their goals, that they were doomed to fail, but this song is a declaration that they cannot and will not be held down by these negative forces. The lyrics are confrontational and assertive, calling out anyone who dares to try and stop them.
The bridge of the song is perhaps the most intense, with its vivid imagery of revenge against those who have tried to stand in the singer's way. However, the ultimate goal is not to harm others, but rather to prevail and achieve greatness despite the odds. The final repetition of the chorus is a stirring reminder that the battle cry will continue to echo, even as the battle rages on.
Overall, "Battle Cry" is a powerful statement of defiance and determination, appealing to anyone who has ever felt like giving up. It is a musical embodiment of the human spirit, celebrating resilience and the refusal to be defeated by any challenge.
