Soldier
Voice Of Voices Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Paralyze the chains
Soft the shelled remains
Stun the strike brigade
They are played
Out with cheek and hair
Take the right to bare
Teeth to bite them down
In the ground

My kind of soldier
You can ride on my shoulders
When you've won
Fight for the moment of control
When it opens then its gone

Introduce your pride
To the other side
Vaporize the trial
With denial

My kind of soldier
You can ride on my shoulders
When you've won




Fight for the moment of control
When it opens then its gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Voice Of Voices's song "Soldier" seem to be about a soldier who is ready to fight and defend, along with an invitation to anyone who feels the same way to join the cause. The first verse talks about disabling the enemy's weapons and defenses while taking away their power. The lines "soft the shelled remains" and "stun the strike brigade" could be interpreted as taking down the opponent's heavy artillery and trained soldiers respectively. The phrase "out with cheek and hair" suggests that the fight will be fierce and full of bravery, with no holding back.


The chorus serves as a rallying cry, with the singer proclaiming that they are the "kind of soldier" that others can rely on. They invite others to fight alongside them and be lifted up on their shoulders, emphasizing the unity needed to succeed in battle. The line "Fight for the moment of control/When it opens then its gone" could mean that they have to seize the opportunity to control the situation or lose it forever.


The second verse talks about facing the enemy head-on, and "vaporizing" them with unshakeable confidence and pride. The use of the phrase "With denial" might suggest that the soldiers cannot afford to doubt themselves or their cause but instead should remain confident, fearless, and determined.


Line by Line Meaning

Paralyze the chains
Render the constraints powerless


Soft the shelled remains
Make the shattered fragments delicate


Stun the strike brigade
Astonish the military forces into confusion


They are played
They are manipulated


Out with cheek and hair
Brave and unabashedly


Take the right to bare
Take the right to expose, reveal and express oneself


Teeth to bite them down
Strength to defeat and overcome opponents


In the ground
Vanquished, defeated and buried


My kind of soldier
The type of person I want fighting alongside me


You can ride on my shoulders
I will support and carry you


When you've won
When you have emerged victorious


Fight for the moment of control
Struggle to obtain command


When it opens then its gone
The moment of opportunity is temporary and fleeting


Introduce your pride
Present your confidence and esteem


To the other side
To your opponents and enemies


Vaporize the trial
Destroy the test of strength and determination


With denial
With a refusal to accept defeat
