White Flag
Sin City Escape Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a promise
I'll bring this bed up to your doorstep
I'll give you something worth believing
Feel your walls are closing in
I can hear you breathing

I will not fall
I won't back down

I will only rise from the ashes
I won't wave, the white flag (Until there's nothing left to save)
I won't wave, the white flag (I won't wave)
Until there is nothing

Let's be honest, about the hope you have abandoned
And the faith you can't recover
Now the waves are crawling in
And your ship is sinking

I will not fall
I won't back down
I will only rise from the ashes
I won't wave, the White Flag (Until there's nothing left to save)
I won't wave, the White Flag (I won't wave)
Until there is nothing

Now you know I won't back down
Now you know I won't back down
Until there is nothing (I won't fall, I won't fall)
Until there is nothing (I won't fall, I won't fall)

I will not fall
I won't back down
I will only rise from the ashes
I won't wave, the White Flag (Until there's nothing left to save)
I won't wave, the White Flag (I won't wave)
Until there is nothing

I won't wave, the White Flag
Until there's nothing left to save

I won't wave, the White Flag, I won't wave
Until there is nothing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sin City Escape's song White Flag are an uplifting anthem of perseverance through tough times. The opening line of "It's a promise, I'll bring this bed up to your doorstep" speaks to the singer's commitment to helping someone who is struggling, perhaps even offering them a place to stay. This is reinforced in the following lines "I'll give you something worth believing, feel your walls are closing in, I can hear you breathing," which suggest that the singer recognizes the difficulties that the other person is facing, and wants to provide the support they need to get through it.

The chorus of the song is what really takes on an empowering tone. "I will not fall, I won't back down, I will only rise from the ashes," shows the singer's determination to get through whatever obstacles life throws their way. They refuse to give up, to surrender ("I won't wave the white flag") until there is nothing left. The repetition of this last line emphasizes the singer's unwavering commitment to fighting for what they believe in and overcoming any adversity.

The second verse acknowledges that there may be moments of doubt and hopelessness, with the lines "let's be honest about the hope you have abandoned and the faith you can't recover." However, the chorus reaffirms the singer's strength and perseverance.

Overall, White Flag is a testament to resilience and the belief that no matter the struggles one is facing, there is always hope and the possibility of rising back up from the ashes.
