Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, it's time to start the show
Lost my heart and lost my soul
Now it's the time that you won't know
Lost my mind and lost my goal

Mm, not giving in
I'm not giving in
Not giving in
Ooh, I'm not giving in, yeah

This time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in

Waste my time which makes things worse
Lost in mine, my love is cursed, mm
Time to make these things feel right
Mm, let's start this show for one last time

Oh, I'm not giving in
Ooh (not giving in) not giving in, oh yeah
Let me tell you no, not giving in
Not this time (not giving in)
Not gonna give it in, woo

This time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in

No, not giving in
Not giving in (this time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in)
I'm gonna be stronger (this time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in)
I'm gonna be stronger

This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in

(I'm gonna be stronger) this time, I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in





This time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Not Giving In" by Rudimental (feat. John Newman) describe a personal struggle against adversity and temptation. The singer begins by stating that it's time to start the show, but reveals that they've lost their heart, soul, mind, and goal. Despite this setback, the singer asserts that they won't give in. The chorus repeats this mantra, emphasizing the singer's determination to keep fighting.


The second verse suggests that the singer has wasted time and lost their love to curses. However, they assert that it's time to make things feel right and start the show one last time. Again, the chorus reiterates the singer's determination not to give in, emphasizing their intention to be stronger this time.


The song's message is ultimately one of perseverance and resilience. The singer may have faced setbacks and challenges, but they refuse to succumb to them. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes this determination, and the song's upbeat, danceable tempo underscores the idea that even in adversity, one can keep moving forward.

And lost my goal

Oh, nakkivene

If people become aware that electing the wrong people into the most important government position is affecting their day to day lives, that's the first step.
