Champion
Champion of Love: Triumphs and Trials in the Dance of Hearts
Lyrics
You're my champion
You hold a special place in my life, akin to a champion.
Four times I tried love
I attempted love four times.
And three failed
Three of those attempts at love did not succeed.
But I wanted one to work
I desired one of those attempts to be successful.
Am I two much to handle
Am I too challenging or demanding?
But this door could still work without one
Even without me, this relationship could still function.
You regret opening up to me
You feel remorse for opening up to me.
When you took that line on my bed side table
Referring to a line (possibly a drug reference) on my bedside table.
I wanted you to be
I hoped you would become what you were capable of being.
Everything you could've been
Expressing disappointment that potential was not fully realized.
And I know you're held down by your dad
Acknowledging external pressures, possibly from a father figure.
But he's not god
Emphasizing that the father is not all-powerful.
And he can't punch as hard yet you can baby
Recognizing the emotional strength of the partner, possibly in contrast to the father.
And I know it's hard but you're my champion
Acknowledging the difficulties but affirming the partner's status as a champion.
My champion, he's a champion, he's my champion
Repetition emphasizing the partner's champion status.
Not one to hold a grudge
Claiming not to hold grudges despite challenges.
It's hard to have one when you were so good to me
Reflecting on the partner's past goodness.
Never felt like this before
Expressing a unique and intense emotional experience.
You've been a fire I tried to put out
Describing the partner as a persistent challenge.
Now I just wanna be consumed by your damage
Desiring to be engulfed by the partner's struggles.
Before I do it all to myself
Expressing a wish to avoid self-destructive behavior.
And slip into forever soil burial
Contemplating a metaphorical burial under the weight of love.
Under the bare feet of love
Imagining being beneath the feet of love, vulnerable.
I'm holding on, my love
Expressing a commitment to holding on despite challenges.
Come back and I know you're held down by your anger
Acknowledging partner's struggles with anger.
It's not your fault cos you're my champion
Stating that the partner remains a champion despite the anger.
My champion, he's a champion, he's my champion
Repetition emphasizing the partner's champion status.
You're a champion
Affirming that the partner is indeed a champion.
My champion, my champion, my champion
Repeating the affirmation of the partner as a champion.
