War Paint
Tiffany Gia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lock away my heart and soul
You came searching for a rock
That you could build your home upon
But I'm a rolling stone
I'm a I'm a rolling stone
And what you need the most
Is what I have the least
Lock and load
I've seen a lot but still
Too young to feel old
Got my scars to show
Won't give into the thrill
I'm standing on my own
I can't just give it all up for you
Just when I'm about to cross the finish line
300 Years it took
To make the climb now its my time
But I'm a rolling stone
I'm a I'm a rolling stone
And what you need the most
What you, what you need the most
Is what I have the least
Lock and load
I've seen a lot but still
Too young to feel old
Got my scars to show
Won't give into the thrill
I'm standing on my own
No love, no pain, war paint
Beneath my eyes, beneath my eyes
No love, no pain, war paint
Beneath my eyes, beneath my eyes
I have a lot of fight in me (fight in me)
You won't be the death of me (death of me)
I have a lot of fight in me
Oh
Lock and load
I've seen a lot but still
Too young to feel old
Got my scars to show
Won't give into the thrill
I'm standing on my own
No love, no pain, war paint
Beneath my eyes, beneath my eyes
No love, no pain, war paint
Beneath my eyes, beneath my eyes
The lyrics to Tiffany Gia's song "War Paint" convey a sense of determination and self-reliance in the face of someone who wants to change who she is. The first verse speaks directly to this person, indicating that they are trying to control her and make her more like them by building their home on top of her. However, the singer identifies herself as an independent entity, a "rolling stone," and points out that what her pursuer needs most is exactly what she has the least. In the chorus, Tiffany Gia reinforces her resolve, declaring that she won't give up her hard-won independence and that she's standing strong.
The second verse takes a more introspective turn, revealing that the singer has faced challenges and overcome them. She's on the cusp of achieving something great ("crossing the finish line"), and the last thing she wants to do is relinquish control to someone else. Again, she emphasizes her distinction from the person who is trying to pin her down, comparing her scars to their need for a thrill. The repeated "no love, no pain, war paint" at the end of both choruses seems to suggest that the singer is not interested in anything that will weaken her resolve, even if it may offer some comfort.
