Waterloo
Love's Surrender: A Tale of Defeat and Everlasting Devotion
Lyrics
My my
Expression of surprise or realization
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Refers to the historical event where Napoleon surrendered at Waterloo
Oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
Drawing a parallel between the singer's experience and Napoleon's surrender
The history book on the shelf
The historical account in written form
Is always repeating itself
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of history
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Acknowledging defeat in a personal situation
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Commitment to love despite the defeat
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Feeling trapped or unable to avoid the outcome
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Acceptance of destiny to be with someone
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Coming to terms with a challenging situation
My my
Repetition of the initial expression of surprise or realization
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Attempting to resist but realizing the other's strength
Oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
Acceptance that giving up the fight is the only option
And how could I ever refuse
Acknowledging the inevitability of a certain outcome
I feel like I win when I lose
Paradoxical feeling of winning through surrender
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Reiteration of personal defeat and the other's victory
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Reaffirmation of eternal love despite the situation
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Emphasis on the inability to avoid the destined outcome
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Recognition of the inevitable fate to be with someone
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Repeating the acceptance of facing a challenging situation
So how could I ever refuse
Reiteration of the inability to refuse the situation
I feel like I win when I lose
Repeating the paradoxical feeling of winning through losing
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Reaffirmation of personal defeat and the other's victory
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Reaffirmation of eternal love despite the situation
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Emphasis on the inability to avoid the destined outcome
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Recognition of the inevitable fate to be with someone
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Repeating the acceptance of facing a challenging situation
