Ola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want to take it,
You'd have to comprehend,
You'd have to come prepared and ready to prise it
From my cold and lifeless hands.
Coz It's who we are, and I would not concede it lightly,
The best we've done by far,
from trials and tribulations for
Our love, The invincible cord,
That binds us,
To a promise that can't be broken,
By one never sworn to the cause,
Unbeliever, In the power of invincible love
I see what you heard,
But don't know what you're speaking of
I hear what you thought,
but that ain't invincible love
Think you can break it,
Please be my guest and try.
You'll find that it's impervious to the schemes and machinations
I imagine you've come by.
You may think it strange,
That at first glance we seem defenseless
That notion soon will change,
When you see how reinforced and fortified is the buttress of the fortress that is
Invincible,
We can hear you,
and we see you
but don't fear you
Invincible,
do what you do,
come with trouble,
we're Invincible
The lyrics of Ola's song "Invincible" convey a message of strength, resilience, and unwavering love. The song starts by addressing someone who wants to challenge and take away what the singer possesses. However, it emphasizes that understanding and being prepared are necessary because the singer holds onto it fiercely. The lyrics suggest that what they have achieved so far is exceptional and has been built through enduring difficult times and adversities.
The chorus of the song highlights the unbreakable bond of their love, referred to as an invincible cord. It represents a promise that cannot be shattered, remaining intact even when faced with disbelief and skepticism from those who do not understand its power. The line "I see what you heard, but don't know what you're speaking of" suggests that the singer acknowledges others' perception of their love but believes they don't truly comprehend its strength.
The second verse challenges anyone who thinks they can break this bond. The singer invites them to attempt it but assures them that their schemes and manipulations will fail. The lyrics convey the idea that their love is immune to any harm and incapacity caused by external influences. It also contradicts the initial appearance of vulnerability, asserting that their defenselessness is just a temporary illusion.
Overall, "Invincible" celebrates a love that surpasses obstacles, doubts, and attempts to weaken it. It emphasizes the unyielding nature of their bond and the power it holds, ultimately stating that they are aware of any threats but do not fear them.

You want to take it,
If you desire to possess it
You'd have to comprehend,
You must fully understand
You'd have to come prepared and ready to prise it
You must arrive equipped and willing to forcefully obtain it
From my cold and lifeless hands.
From my unyielding grasp, even in death
Coz It's who we are, and I would not concede it lightly,
Because it defines our identity, and I will not easily surrender it
The best we've done by far,
The greatest achievement we have accomplished
and we forged it in the fires, of survival
And we created it through the struggles and challenges we faced
from trials and tribulations for
through difficult experiences and hardships
Our love, The invincible cord,
Our love, the unbreakable bond
That binds us,
That connects us
To a promise that can't be broken,
To a commitment that is unshakable
By one never sworn to the cause,
By someone who has never pledged themselves to the purpose
Unbeliever, In the power of invincible love
A skeptic, doubting the strength of indestructible love
I see what you heard,
I understand the information you have received
But don't know what you're speaking of
But you lack comprehension of the subject
I hear what you thought,
I am aware of your assumptions
but that ain't invincible love
but it does not equate to invincible love
Think you can break it,
Believe you can shatter it
Please be my guest and try.
Feel free to attempt it
You'll find that it's impervious to the schemes and machinations
You will discover it is immune to plots and manipulations
I imagine you've come by.
That I assume you have devised
You may think it strange,
You might consider it unusual
That at first glance we seem defenseless
That initially we appear vulnerable
That notion soon will change,
That belief will soon alter
When you see how reinforced and fortified is the buttress of the fortress that is
Once you witness the strengthened and protected support of our stronghold that represents
Invincible,
Indestructible
We can hear you,
We are aware of your presence
and we see you
and we perceive you
but don't fear you
but we do not fear you
Invincible,
Indestructible
do what you do,
continue with your actions
come with trouble,
bring difficulties
we're Invincible
we are invulnerable
