Waterloo
Waterloo's Surrender: A Tale of Defeat and Everlasting Love
Lyrics
My my
Expression of surprise or realization.
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Reference to the Battle of Waterloo where Napoleon surrendered.
Oh yeah
Confirmation or agreement with the previous line.
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
Personal connection to a destiny similar to historical events.
The history book on the shelf
The record of past events in a book.
Is always repeating itself
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of history.
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Admission of personal defeat in a relationship.
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Promising eternal 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 fate to be with a specific person.
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Confronting and acknowledging personal Waterloo (defeat).
My my
Repetition of surprise or realization.
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Attempt to resist or prevent a relationship's end.
Oh yeah
Acknowledging the partner's strength and inevitability.
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
Realization that giving up is the only option.
And how could I ever refuse
Acceptance of the partner's appeal or victory.
I feel like I win when I lose
Paradoxical feeling of winning through losing.
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Reiteration of personal defeat and the partner's victory.
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Reaffirmation of eternal love despite the outcome.
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Sense of inability to escape the predetermined fate.
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Acceptance that destiny is intertwined with the partner's.
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Final acknowledgment of personal defeat.
So how could I ever refuse
Reiteration of the inability to refuse the inevitable.
I feel like I win when I lose
Repeating the paradoxical feeling of winning through losing.
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Restating personal defeat and the partner's victory.
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Renewing the promise of eternal love despite defeat.
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Reaffirming the feeling of being trapped in the situation.
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Acceptance of the inescapable fate to be with the partner.
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Final acknowledgment and confrontation of personal Waterloo.
