Invincible
The Unlikely Candidates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, over my eyes
Now that I'm able
I, shedding my youth
Sit at the table
Night after night, I can still feel the fight
Without you, this feeling is fatal
No one can stop us
We won't back down again
Nothing can top this
We're not afraid
Take me home
Tonight we are invincible
Hold in the dark
Tonight we are invincible
The lights, so bright
The world is so perfect
We fold on the surface
Take me home
Tonight we are invincible
Thrive, turn of the time
Will show you the way to me
Get on your feet
Cut the pieces
Take to the streets, girl
Talking is cheap
You'll see, we'll make 'em believe it
No one can stop us
We won't back down again
Nothing can top this
We're not afraid
Take me home
Tonight we are invincible
Hold in the dark
Tonight we are invincible
The lights, so bright
The world is so perfect
We fold on the surface
Take me home
Tonight we are invincible
No one can stop us
We won't back down again
Nothing can top this
We're not afraid
Take me home
Tonight we are invincible
Hold in the dark
Tonight we are invincible
The lights, so bright
The world is so perfect
We fold on the surface




Take me home
Tonight we are invincible

Overall Meaning

The Unlikely Candidates' song, "Invincible," is an upbeat, anthemic track that speaks to the idea of being empowered, gaining strength, and overcoming adversity. The singer addresses the idea that they are stepping into their own and that they are now "able" to face their challenges. The persona seems to be gaining wisdom and maturity, represented by "shedding" their youth and taking a seat at the table. The fight the persona mentions is likely a reference to their personal struggles, which seem to be powerfully intertwined with the feelings they have for another person who is not present. This person is likely the "you" referred to in the opening line. Without this person, the persona feels the danger of feeling fatal, of giving up.


However, as the song progresses, the persona asserts that "no one can stop us," and that they will not back down. They are not afraid and are ready to tackle whatever comes their way. The repeated phrase "take me home" suggests that the persona finds a sense of belonging in this determination and strength, which provides them with a feeling of invincibility. The persona invites listeners to come along with them and join in the belief that they are unstoppable. The chorus crescendos with "tonight we are invincible," emphasizing the feeling that this strength is particularly heightened in this moment, and that it is something to be celebrated and enjoyed.


Overall, "Invincible" is a song about personal empowerment, gaining strength, and overcoming adversity. It speaks powerfully to the idea of discovering one's own strength and using it to face life's challenges. The passionate delivery and upbeat instrumentation help to reinforce this message, making it an inspiring and motivational track.

Tradução

Ei!
Eu abro meus olhos
Agora que sou capaz
Eu troquei minha juventude
Para sentar na mesa
Noite após noite
Ainda posso sentir a luta
Sem você
Esse sentimento é fatal

Ninguém pode nos parar
Não vamos recuar novamente
Nada pode superar isso
Não temos medo

Me leve para casa
Esta noite somos invencíveis
Esperança no escuro
Esta noite somos invencíveis
E as luzes, tão brilhantes
O mundo é tão perfeito
Nós flutuamos na superfície
Me leve para casa
Esta noite, somos invencíveis

Vida, vez após vez
Vai te mostrar o caminho até mim
Levante-se
E junte os cacos
Vá para as ruas
Porque falar é barato
Você vai ver
Vamos fazer eles acreditarem

Ninguém pode nos parar
Não vamos recuar novamente
Nada pode superar isso
Não temos medo

Me leve para casa
Esta noite somos invencíveis
Esperança no escuro
Esta noite somos invencíveis
E as luzes, tão brilhantes
O mundo é tão perfeito
Nós flutuamos na superfície
Me leve para casa
Esta noite, somos invencíveis

Ei!
Ei!
Ei!

Ninguém pode nos parar
Não vamos recuar novamente
Nada pode superar isso
Não temos medo

Me leve para casa
Esta noite somos invencíveis
Esperança no escuro
Esta noite somos invencíveis
E as luzes, tão brilhantes
O mundo é tão perfeito
Nós flutuamos na superfície
Me leve para casa
Esta noite, somos invencíveis
