Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hide my love in a lie
You put it all in the light, all in the light for me
Won′t show my teeth when I smile
Hide the wind from the right
You put it all on the line, all on the line for me
And when the war's overYou′re still my soldier
Whenever the darkness is the making me blind
And all of my scars are not healing with time
You're pulling me closer
Even when I'm not sober
You are the one that is making me right
I know you′ll fight, by my side like a soldier
And I got you by my side
We can go left or go right
Sailinging with no harbour in sight
Harbour in sight but we′ll be alright
For you I'll tell the truth, won′t tell a lie
Be the allaby to your crime
I would put it all on the line, all on the line for you
And when the war's over
You′re still my soldier
Whenever the darkness is the making me blind
And all of my scars are not healing with time
You're pulling me closer
Even when I′m not sober
You are the one that is making me right
I know you'll fight, by my side like a soldier
By my side like a soldier
And when the war's over
You′re still my soldier
Whenever the darkness is the making me blind
And all of my scars are not healing with time
You′re pulling me closer
Even when I'm not sober
You are the one that is making me right
I know you′ll fight, by my side
And when the war's over
You′re still my soldier
Whenever the darkness is the making me blind
And all of my scars are not healing with time
You're pulling me closer
Even when I′m not sober
You are the one that is making me right
I know you'll fight, by my side like a soldier
The song "Soldier" by Paul Rey is a tribute to a special relationship between two people who are committed to each other no matter what challenges they may face. The lyrics explore the idea of trust, loyalty, and unconditional support. The singer of the song speaks to someone who has been by his side through thick and thin, always offering a helping hand to get him through any difficulties. He expresses gratitude to this person for always being there and providing a safe haven when he needs it most. The chorus repeats the theme of this person being like a soldier, someone who will fight by his side and never give up until the enemy has been defeated.
The opening lines describe the singer's tendency to hide his emotions and bury his pain under a mask of pride. He acknowledges that he has been keeping his true feelings locked away, but this person has been able to bring them out into the light. The line "hide the wind from the right" could be interpreted as trying to avoid something that he knows is coming, and the person he is addressing has been able to help him face these challenges head-on.
The rest of the song is focused on the positive impact this person has had on the singer's life. He speaks to their ability to make him feel better, even when he isn't sober. He is willing to be honest and vulnerable with this person, and put everything on the line for them because he knows they will do the same for him.
Overall, "Soldier" is a song about the power of strong relationships to overcome adversity. It is about being there for each other no matter what and providing a sense of security and belonging.
