Elizabeth
MR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Elizabeth,
Addressing the person named Elizabeth
Don't look to me
I'm not the one to tell you how to be
You can be yourself or find some other way to be
You have the freedom to be who you are or choose another path
But time won't wait
Time doesn't stop for anyone
And even if it does
Even if time seems to pause
It's unlikely to go back to how it was
Things will never be exactly the same as before
So my advice is to not think twice:
My suggestion is to act without hesitation
Elizabeth or fight
Choose between standing up for yourself or giving in
Stick to your guns
Hold onto your beliefs and values
It won't be long before
It's only a matter of time until
Surrendering won't be an option anymore
Giving up won't be possible in the future
So in the end I recommend:
Ultimately, I suggest
Elizabeth or fight
The choice is yours: give up or stand up
Peace whenever justice will allow
Seek peace when possible and fair
Peace forever
Strive for everlasting peace
Elizabeth for now
However, prioritize standing up for yourself in the meantime
If that means eternally
If that means always
Fighting for Elizabeth and Liberty
Standing up for yourself and your freedom
Or the reverse
Alternatively
You could do much worse:
There are much worse choices to make
Elizabeth or fight.
Choose between prioritizing yourself or giving in.

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