Cannonball
Skylar Grey Ft. X Ambassadors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because my will is stronger than a gale force wind
Look out, look out, 'cause each time I fall
I'll be crashing down, right through your arms
Here I come
Cannonball, cannonball
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
And when they light their torches, when they scream and yell
I'm gonna raise my flag and gonna give 'em hell
Look out, look out, 'cause each time I fall
I'll be crashing down, right through your arms
Here I come
Cannonball, cannonball
Here I come
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
At the end of the day
When the air is still and the sky is grey
Let's swim
Who will be standing?
I challenge you all
Bombs away, bombs away
Here I come
Cannonball, cannonball
Here I come
Cannonball, cannonball
Here I come
Cannonball, cannonball
Here I come
Cannonball, cannonball, cannonball
The lyrics to Skylar Grey's song, "Cannonball," are empowering and inspirational. The chorus, "Here I come, Cannonball, Cannonball," represents the idea of diving in with full force, without holding back or hesitating. Grey uses swimming as a metaphor for life, suggesting that no matter how hard people try to push her down, she will continue to rise up and overcome every obstacle that comes her way.
The first verse sets the tone for the entire song, expressing Grey's inner strength and determination. She defies those who try to hold her back, stating that her will is stronger than any external force, and she will always find a way to keep moving forward despite the challenges she faces. The second verse shows that Grey is unafraid to stand up for herself and fight back against those who try to bring her down. She declares that she will raise her flag and give them hell, no matter the consequences.
The bridge provides a moment of reflection and contemplation, acknowledging that, at the end of the day, everyone is equal, and it is up to each individual to determine their own destiny. The chorus is repeated once more, driving home the message that Grey is a force to be reckoned with, and no one can stop her from achieving her goals.
Overall, "Cannonball" is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt oppressed, underestimated, or held back. It encourages listeners to dive in headfirst and overcome any obstacle that may come their way.

Skylar is just a inspiring person; she never fails to make my day so much more better. I can't wait to hear more from her. Where'd you go will always be an amazing song from her; even if it was a featured song. It still lays in my heart (The only song I remember listening to when I was younger).
Humaira Ahmad
Both Skylar and the X Ambassadors are amazing and sadly underrated. They should be given more credit.

My dad has stage four prostate cancer, he's honestly the best dad a person could have. For his 76th birthday I took him ziplining. They told us if we wanted to go faster to yell, "Cannonball". He did on every line. Now I'm in tears.❤
