Battlefield
TeN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere out beyond this battlefield

When the day starts to fade
And return to the night
In a flickering cadence
Like pale candlelight
It's for you
And only for you...

When the stars leave the sky
In celestial flight
Close their twinkling eyes
As they fade and they die
It's for you
And only for you...

So the night flows on
In the darkness comes soliloquy
But you can't respond
'Till the nightmares wane

Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
I'll be waiting for you
My light won't diminish know this stone won't yield
I will rescue you somehow

In the name of desire
As the beast that arrives
Stumbles into the fire
Though it burns him alive
It's for you
And only for you...

When the last in the line
Speaks the words to confide
Weaving un-whispered rhymes
Of a love deep inside
It's for you
And only for you...

So the night flows on
In the darkness comes soliloquy
But you can't respond
'Till the nightmares wane

Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
I'll be waiting for you
My light won't diminish know this stone won't yield
I will rescue you somehow

Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
I'll be waiting for you
My light won't diminish know this stone won't yield
I will rescue you somehow





Somewhere out beyond this battlefield

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Battlefield" by TeN evoke a sense of longing and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song begins with a description of the end of the day, when the stars fade and the night takes over. The singer describes how their feelings are solely for a specific person, and as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this person is someone for whom the singer will fight to protect and rescue.


The line "somewhere out beyond this battlefield" suggests a sense of distance between the singer and the person they are addressing. The idea of a battlefield also adds to the song's themes of war and conflict, as well as sacrifice and bravery. The singer promises that they will wait for this person, and that their "light won't diminish," implying that they will remain strong and committed to their cause.


As the night flows on and the darkness brings soliloquy, the singer acknowledges that the person they are addressing may not be able to respond until their nightmares wane. This line further emphasizes the theme of conflict and the idea that the person in question may be struggling with their own internal battles.


Overall, while "Battlefield" may seem like a love song on the surface, it is ultimately a testament to the strength of human will and determination in the face of adversity.

There is a place beyond this troubled situation that we're in.


When the day starts to fade
As the day turns into night.


And return to the night
As the darkness of night returns again.


In a flickering cadence
In a rhythm that is unstable and uncertain.


Like pale candlelight
Like a dim light that flickers like a candle.


It's for you
Everything that is happening is for you.


And only for you...
And no one else, just you.


When the stars leave the sky
As the stars disappear from the sky.


In celestial flight
As they soar into the heavens.


Close their twinkling eyes
As their shimmering glow fades away.

As their light disappears and they are gone forever.

When the final person speaks.

Of a powerful love that is felt within.
