Fight Song
rachelplatten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me
The opening lines of Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" vividly illustrate the power of individuality and the impact that a seemingly small effort can have in bringing about significant change. The image of a small boat on the ocean, sending big waves into motion, signifies a single idea or action that can cause an enormous impact, despite its size. She then goes on to highlight the ability of a single word to make a heart open, demonstrating the significance of each individual's voice and the power that it holds.
The lyrics further emphasize the importance of expressing oneself through the use of the phrase "all those things I didn't say," which suggests the singer has had feelings or thoughts that they have been unable to express. The use of the metaphor of "wrecking balls inside my brain" effectively captures the feelings of frustration and inner turmoil caused by holding emotions inside for too long. However, the chorus of "Fight Song" marks a turning point in the song as Platten resolves to speak out and take back her life, regardless of what others may believe.
Overall, "Fight Song" portrays a message of perseverance and strength in the face of adversity, urging listeners to believe in themselves and never give up, even if they feel like giving up. It emphasizes that there is always a fighting spirit left in a person, no matter how bleak the situation may seem.

To all those people being bullied
To all those people who have lost a loved one
To all those people who have lost a pet
To all those people being abused
To all those people going through depression
To all those people with anxiety
To all those people in poverty
To all those people going through a breakup
To all those people having a bad day
To all those people with insecurities
To all those people just having a hard time,
Don't forget
Your weakness today
Is your strength tomorrow
It always gets better
Your loved ones will remain in your hearts
You always have the memories
Love yourself
Stand up for yourself
Money can't buy happiness
Those lovers
Just weren't right
Don't abuse yourself
Don't abuse others
Kill them with kindness
Treat people with kindness
We've all had these times
There will always be a hole in our chests
But
Let's all be each others' strength
weather you're
Black
White
LGBTQ+
Christian
Atheist
Etc
Love yourself
Love others
Don't cut
Don't kill
Don't criticize
Don't beg
Don't do drugs
Don't starve yourself
Don't starve others
We aren't supposed to do any of that
Just keep your strength
Keep your faith
Don't change because you were told to
(btw this is not my words I am just spreading them, and now it is time for you to spread them to the other 1% :)
