The Fight
Shiloh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They tell me I'm too young - some say I'm just a fool
Frustrations building up - cuz I know what I can do
And all the choices that I make everyday
Change the world around me
And I feel just like forever starts today

I'm gonna give everything that I've got - gonna make it whatever
I'm gonna live like never before - and do what I want
Gonna fall but I won't fall apart - gonna keep it together
The more I fight, the stronger I become - the fight has just begun

They say that I should dream - then they tell me what to do
And I'm stuck here in between - two vesions of the truth
And all the choices that I make everyday
Change the world around me
And it feels just like forever starts today

I'm gonna give everything that I've got - gonna make it whatever

I'm gonna live like never before - and do what I want
Gonna fall but I won't fall apart - gonna keep it together
The more I fight, the stronger I become - the fight has just begun

Sometimes I wanna run away
From the things that I don't wanna face in front of me
I'll stand my ground - I'm not going down - I'm not gonna break

I'm gonna give everything that I've got - gonna make it whatever
I'm gonna live like never before - and do what I want
Gonna fall but I won't fall apart - gonna keep it together
The more I fight, the stronger I become




And I'm gonna have my moment in the sun
The fight has just begun

I love this song so much. As a trans, bi, pretty/goth boy I get a lot of sht but honestly I don't break down, and usually I just smile it off. A piece of advise- Someone criticizes you just smile and say thank you- It'll confuse the hell out of them, and usually makes them look pretty stupid; you'll find it makes you feel less weary and pissed off than fighting with them C:

She is a very inspiring person everywhere. Or at least to people who listen to her music. Which hopefully is a lot of people.

My "friends" Always fix my hair...it's natural curls all the way through, and everybody loves it. I have never seen anybody with hair like me, and I love it because it makes me feel like I am NOT part of the crowd. I make my own crowd. :) I'm in my grad year, so this is where it will all come together...nobody can tear me down now! <3

That should have been Shiloh ' you are a real talent', just like to add that you sing from the heart, basically you've got that rare commodity, 'soul'. I just hope one day my son who also has that commodity in his guitar playing, shows you that himself... take care.

Shiloh, sorry, i didn't check who had written what songs on your brilliant, cd, Picture Imperfect, so my first post made little sense, so i deleted it. Anyway, you co-wrote many songs on the album, quite incredible for one so young, i believe you were 15 at the time, a mind blowing statistic. Your vocals are world class, whatever has gone on recently, keep believing in yourself and your talent will shine through . Take care.
