Brave Man
Embracing Resilience: Will Young's Brave Man Confronts Pain with Courage
Lyrics
See these scars of these years gone by
Reflecting on scars from past experiences
They don't hurt me, just remind me I can cry
Scars serve as reminders, not causing current pain
All that I know is we'll slip as we go
Uncertainty about the future, acknowledging challenges
Like dancers hold the bar across the wall
Metaphor of navigating life like a dancer holding a bar
Draw up the horses, spears at the ready
Preparing for challenges, symbolized by horses and spears
I'm not afraid to fight the war
Readiness to face and fight against difficulties
I'm a brave man
Repeated chorus emphasizing bravery, facing pain, and not fearing failure
Running through the rain
-I'm a brave man
-Not scared to feel the pain
-I'm a brave man
-Follow me alone
-Not afraid to tumble
-Not afraid to fall
-I'm a brave man
-I met strangers to become my friends
Building connections with strangers, forming friendships
Together we'll shine on this battlefield
Unity with friends, shining together in life's challenges
Draw up the horses, spears at the ready
Reiteration of readiness for battle
I'm not afraid to fight the war
-I'm a brave man
Repeated chorus emphasizing bravery, facing pain, and not fearing failure
Running through the rain
-I'm a brave man
-Not scared to feel the pain
-I'm a brave man
-Follow me alone
-Not afraid to tumble
-Not afraid to fall
-All my reasons and my tears they spill on this fake
Emotional expression of personal struggles and tears
Aches and pains each took it out there bursting out these pores
Physical and emotional pain manifesting and being released
Melted wax on fireplaces pumping through my heart
Metaphor of emotions like melted wax fueling the heart
I don't need this misery anymore
Rejecting the continuation of misery
I'm a brave man
Final repetition of chorus, reinforcing bravery and resilience
Running through the rain
-I'm a brave man
-Not scared to feel the pain
-I'm a brave man
-Follow me alone
-Not afraid to tumble
-Not afraid to fall
