Warriors
Papa Roach feat. Lupe Fiasco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sweating as the seconds start to run out
I know that there's a glitch in the system
We're breaking down the walls of this prison
We are the warriors, we are the warriors
We are the warriors, we are the warriors
Push the enemy back
When you're under attack
It will protect you
Kill the night
All we need is a spark
We can bury the dark, ignite
Come on and shine your light
We fought our misery in the inferno
Illuminate our lives, we are eternal
Collided in a head-on collision
We sacrifice ourself for the mission
We are the warriors, we are the warriors
We are the warriors, we are the warriors
So shine your light
Push the enemy back
When you're under attack
It will protect you
Kill the night
All we need is a spark
We can bury the dark, ignite
Come on and shine your light
Come on and shine your light
Madness come
Surrounds me as I'm fallin
Bad shit happens to all of us
It's actually a fabric of garment
You know I didn't last this long in,
Anything less than a warrior, average
Now I'm savage
Better that than the has been
We are the warriors, we are the warriors
We are the warriors
So shine your light
Push the enemy back
When you're under attack
It will protect you
Kill the night
All we need is a spark
We can bury the dark, ignite
Come on and shine your light
We are the warriors, we are the warriors
We are the warriors
Come on and shine your light
We are the warriors, we are the warriors
We are the warriors
Come on and shine your light
The lyrics to Papa Roach's song Warriors speak of a rising tension that feels like a meltdown is imminent. The artist, Jacoby Shaddix, sings about breaking down the walls of a prison that is holding them captive. These walls could refer to any number of societal or self-imposed limitations that need to be dismantled. Shaddix and his bandmates assert themselves as warriors who are ready to take on any challenge or enemy that comes their way. They urge their listeners to rise up, push back against negativity, and shine their individual lights to keep the darkness at bay. The chorus throughout the song repeats, “We are the warriors, we are the warriors,” emphasizing the communal effort needed to overcome adversity.
The second verse speaks of the challenges and sacrifices one needs to make as a warrior. The lyric, "We fought our misery in the inferno," describes a dark place where they had to work through their pain and struggle to find the light. They collaborated as a team, even at the price of self-sacrifice, to accomplish their mission. Humans often face moments when they need to sacrifice their personal interests for the greater good. It's such moments that make us realize our inner strength and resilience.
