Soldier
Xov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were my best friend and my loyalty.
I was laying there wounded begging please don't leave.
But you chose the easy way out, retreat.
I took a bullet for you,
yes I did,
I fought a war I thought we could win
and I'd do it again
Now that's it's over I got myself,
to blame
you do wanna hurt me but that won't stop the pain
I was laying there bleeding wondering where you are
I guess we've grown too far apart
I took a bullet for you,
hoh, yes I did
I fought a war I thought we could win
and I'd do it again
I'd do it again
In the middle of it all
Helpless watch it fall down
the world we used to call
our own
I took a bullet for you,
hey, yes I did
I fought a war I thought we could win
and I'd do it again
I'd do it again
The lyrics of Xov's song "Soldier" depict the story of a person who was deeply committed to a relationship, which can be interpreted as either romantic or platonic. This person loved and trusted their partner unconditionally, and was willing to fight any battle and take any hit for them. However, the partner chose to abandon the relationship at the first sign of trouble, instead of sticking together and overcoming the challenges. The singer of the song is struck by the betrayal, as they were left wounded and bleeding in the battleground, while their partner retreated to safety. Despite the heartbreak and regret, the singer reaffirms their determination to fight and give everything they've got again, even if the cost is steep.
The lyrics contain powerful imagery of battles and sacrifice, emphasizing themes of loyalty, courage, and selflessness that are typically associated with soldiers. The line "I took a bullet for you" is particularly poignant, as it represents the ultimate sacrifice that a soldier can make. Yet, the singer of the song is not a soldier in the conventional sense; they are a soldier of love, who has been wounded by the harsh realities of relationships. The juxtaposition of war and love creates an interesting narrative, highlighting the intense emotional impact that relationships can have on individuals, sometimes even likening to war.
Overall, Xov's "Soldier" is a powerful song that explores the complexities of relationships, and the resilience of the human spirit. The lyrics are empowering and inspiring, urging listeners to stay strong and fight for what they believe in, even when the odds are against them.
