Fight Song

It means that she`s done with being hesitant and not saying what she wants. She is going to do/say what she wants and she is going to be strong.

This song's about pushing through self-doubt and believing in yourself.

Fight song – Rachel Platten

Like a small boat In the ocean Sending big waves Into motion1 Like how a single word Can make a heart open I might only have one match but I can make an explosion2 And all those things I didn’t say Wrecking balls inside my brain3 I will scream them loud tonight Can you hear my voice this time4 This is my fight song Take back my life song Prove I’m alright song5 My power’s turned on Starting right now I’ll be strong6 I’ll play my fight song And I don’t really care if nobody else believes Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me7 Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep Everybody’s worried about me8 In too deep Say I’m in too deep9 And it’s been two years I miss my home10 But there’s a fire burning in my bones11 And I still believe Yeah I still believe12 And all those things I didn’t say Wrecking balls inside my brain I will scream them loud tonight Can you hear my voice this time This is my fight song Take back my life song Prove I’m alright song My power’s turned on Starting right now I’ll be strong I’ll play my fight song And I don’t really care if nobody else believes Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me A lot of fight left in me Like a small boat In the ocean Sending big waves Into motion Like how a single word Can make a heart open I might only have one match but I can make an explosion This is my fight song Take back my life song Prove I’m alright song My power’s turned on Starting right now I’ll be strong I’ll play my fight song And I don’t really care if nobody else believes Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me Now I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me13 24 Explained Lyrics

I love this song because it keeps going around in my head. People are saying it’s about self doubt, but my personal interpretation is that it is about getting out of an abusive relationship. Even though she is hurt, she still has a lot of fire left in her.

This is my favorite inspirational song right now.

I also feel like this song is saying, you know, you could be something if you work for it

Love this song! So inspirational, I can relate to it. I'm in college and studying radio, and I really want to be on the radio one day. But some people in my family (uncle and my cousins) think I should do something else cause it's too difficult to get into, and they're all about making top dollar. I'm a hard worker and it just drives me and makes me want it more. I love music a lot andI literally can't see myself doing anything else but it. I know that I can do it, I believe in my self and this is my fight song!

I love this song ,this song is so inspirational and it tells you to never give up and to keep going even when life is hard
