I Won
Victory's Echo: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Oh, let me take a candle to a cellar tonight
Expressing a desire to explore a cellar with a candle.
And I'd like to take some matches there and set it alight
Wishing to set the cellar on fire with matches.
I can, 'cause I've seen those kind of places before
Based on past experiences, feeling capable of doing so.
Oh, I'd like to have a party in a cellar tonight
Expressing a desire to have a party in a cellar.
And I'd love to have a party but it wouldn't be right
Recognizing that having a party in a cellar would not be appropriate.
I shan't, 'cause I've seen those kind of people before
Refusing to have a party in the cellar due to past negative experiences.
I won the war in the sitting room
Claiming victory in a personal conflict within the sitting room.
I won the war but it cost me
Acknowledging that winning the war came with a personal cost.
I won the war and I feel proud
Feeling a sense of pride for winning the personal war.
But I don't know why it's hard to get to sleep in my house
Expressing difficulty in falling asleep at home despite the victory.
Oh, I have to pull the blankets up to cover my head
Describing the need to cover the head with blankets for sleep.
And I have to pull the blankets right up
Emphasizing the act of pulling the blankets up during sleep.
But I don't know why it's hard to get to sleep in my house
Reiterating the difficulty in getting to sleep at home.
Well you keep following the feel of the fire
Advising to follow the warmth of the fire.
It's not difficult to see that you're
Noting the obvious youthfulness and selfishness.
Young and selfish, and liberty and money, don't go
Commenting on the incompatible nature of youth, selfishness, liberty, and money.
Let me take a candle to a cellar tonight
Repeating the desire to take a candle to a cellar.
And you should see the parties we've had before
Referencing past parties held in cellars.
Give me the time, give me the time
Requesting time or information.
Give me your watchword, give me whatever you like
Asking for a watchword or any information available.
(Soon we'll be free)
Suggesting an impending sense of freedom.
I won the war in the sitting room
Repeating the claim of winning a personal war in the sitting room.
I won the war but it cost me
Reiterating the acknowledgment of personal cost in winning the war.
I won the war and I feel proud
Reiterating the sense of pride for winning the personal war.
But God only knows why it's hard to get to sleep in my house
Expressing confusion about the difficulty in sleeping despite victory.
Oh (supercilious smile)
An interjection, possibly denoting a disdainful smile.
Oh (you're supercilious so)
Repeating the interjection with emphasis on being disdainful.
Well you keep following the feel of fire
Encouraging to follow the warmth of the fire.
It's not difficult to see that you're
Reiterating the youthfulness and beauty, and lack of criticism.
Beautiful and young, and critical of nothing
Stating that following the warmth of the fire reveals youth and beauty.
And you keep following the feel of fire
Encouraging to continue following the warmth of the fire.
It's not difficult to see that you're
Reiterating the youthfulness and beauty, and lack of criticism.
Beautiful and young, but liberty and money, don't go
Highlighting the incompatibility of youth, beauty, liberty, and money.
