Elizabeth
MR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Elizabeth,
Don't look to me
You can be yourself or find some other way to be
But time won't wait
And even if it does
It's unlikely to go back to how it was
So my advice is to not think twice:
Elizabeth or fight

Stick to your guns
It won't be long before
Surrendering won't be an option anymore
So in the end I recommend:
Elizabeth or fight

Peace whenever justice will allow
Peace forever
Elizabeth for now

If that means eternally
Fighting for Elizabeth and Liberty
Or the reverse




You could do much worse:
Elizabeth or fight.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MR's song "Elizabeth" seem to be addressing someone (possibly the titular Elizabeth) who is struggling with being true to themselves and may be facing some kind of internal or external conflict. The opening lines - "Elizabeth, don't look to me / You can be yourself or find some other way to be" - suggest that the singer cannot provide the answers or guidance that the listener seeks. Instead, they offer a kind of tough love, encouraging Elizabeth to take action and not waste time second-guessing herself: "But time won't wait / And even if it does / It's unlikely to go back to how it was / So my advice is to not think twice: / Elizabeth or fight".


The phrase "Elizabeth or fight" becomes a refrain that runs throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that taking a stand and being true to oneself is ultimately more important than avoiding conflict or seeking compromise. The lines "Stick to your guns / It won't be long before / Surrendering won't be an option anymore" suggest that there may be a sense of urgency or danger involved in Elizabeth's situation, and that she needs to stand firm in her beliefs before it's too late.


The song ends with a call for both peace and justice, but still emphasizes the importance of fighting for what one believes in: "If that means eternally / Fighting for Elizabeth and Liberty / Or the reverse / You could do much worse: / Elizabeth or fight". Overall, the lyrics seem to convey a sense of urgency and importance, urging the listener (or Elizabeth) to take action and make a choice.

A small reminder: the only time Elizabeth was rendered speechless by Mr. Darcy was when he said β€œI love you.” In the rain.
