BATTLEGROUND
Love's Last Stand: Battleground Reflections
Lyrics
You say that it’s not new
You assert that the situation is not novel
And tell me that I’m bad luck for you
You claim I bring misfortune to you
Still you think it’s over, just you wait
Despite this, you believe the conclusion is imminent; just be patient
Oh no
An expression of concern or realization
On this battleground
In this conflict or struggle
Where we lost the war
Where we suffered defeat
No one’s gonna take you down but me
No one else will defeat you but me
Do you hear the sound
A request to pay attention
The sound of my horn
The unmistakable noise made by my horn (possibly a metaphor for assertion)
Nothing’s gonna change my mind today
Nothing will alter my convictions today
Everything that you do
All your actions
Goes against all I stand by
Contradict my fundamental beliefs
Why is it that I’m always the bad guy, so bad
Questioning why I am consistently portrayed as the antagonist
On this battleground
In this arena of conflict
Where we lost the war
Where we faced defeat
No one’s gonna take you down but me
No external force will bring you down except me
Do you hear the sound
A repetition of the horn's sound, emphasizing its significance
The sound of my horn
No external influence will change my stance today
Nothing’s gonna change my mind today
Reiteration that nothing will sway my beliefs today
On this battleground
Returning to the metaphorical battleground
Where we lost the war
Where we experienced defeat
Nothing’s gonna take you down but me
No external force will bring you down except me
Do you hear the sound
Reiteration of the horn's sound, emphasizing its significance
The sound of my horn
No external influence will change my stance today
No one’s gonna change my mind today
No one will alter my convictions today
Not gonna change my mind today
Emphasizing the persistence of current convictions
Not gonna change my mind today
Repetition underlining the commitment to current beliefs
No one’s change my mind today
Emphasis on the resilience against external attempts to change beliefs
Nothing’s gonna change my mind today
Restating that nothing will alter current convictions today
