Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll smile, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down and all through the night time
Oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
I'll turn my head and shed a tear
It's never the right time, yeah, yeah

I'll put my armor on
Show you how strong I am
I'll put my armor on
I'll show you that I am

I'm unstoppable
I'm running with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
I'm unstoppable today, I'm unstoppable today

Break down, only alone I will cry out now
You'll never see what's hiding out
Hiding out deep down (yeah)
I know, I've heard that to let your feelings show
Is the only way to make friendships grow
But I'm too afraid now (yeah)

I'll put my armor on
Show you how strong I am
I'll put my armor on
I'll show you that I am

I'm unstoppable
I'm running with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Red's "Unstoppable" express the idea of putting on a strong front and "armor" in order to face the world and appear invincible. The singer acknowledges the need to "fool this town" by putting on a façade of strength and responding with the answers people want to hear, even if this means hiding and suppressing their true emotions. Throughout the song, the singer repeats that they are "unstoppable" and powerful, without needing the help of anyone or anything else.


However, the second half of the song reveals a vulnerability and fear of showing true emotions. The singer admits that they are "too afraid" to let their feelings show and risk rejection or judgment from others. The repeated phrase "unstoppable today" takes on a different meaning, as it becomes clear that the singer is not actually invincible, but rather struggling to find the courage to confront their emotions and admit their weaknesses.
