[Verse 1]
This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal, and you steal like you're a pro
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised
[Chorus]
Now I'm a warrior, now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior, I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armour is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior, and you can never hurt me again
[Verse 2]
Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar
I've got shame, I've got scars, that I will never show
I'm a survivor, in more ways than you know
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken or bruised
[Chorus]
'Cause now I'm a warrior, now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior, I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armour is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior, and you can never hurt me
[Bridge]
There's a part of me I can't get back
A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once, I'll never be the same
Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
'Cause you were never gonna take the blame anyway
[Chorus]
Now I'm a warrior, I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior, I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armour is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior, and you can never hurt me again
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Ooh, yeah, yeah
You can never hurt me... Again
Looking at the songs I've chosen lately to talk about, you probably noticed I'm a big fan of heavy metal, and this is making my girlfriend kind of "suffer" while she's with me, because she likes a lot pop songs (and I mock her because of it hahaha), but when she asked me to write about a pop song, I couldn't let her down. It won't be easy for me listening to it, but I'll give my best and try, because she always does the same when she's with me (I'm listening to DragonForce while I write this, and can't peek Demi's song now because she's near).
Hard times in our lives. We've all been through, and I doubt of any living person claiming that never felt it was difficult. Family? School? College? Career? Marriage? Life? We've all been scarred by something or someone, physical or psychologically.
While doing some research on the lyrics, I've stumbled into a fandom (a club of fans with same interest, and this case, Demi Lovato) mentioning this song talks about Demi Lovato's relationship with her father, that he scarred her mind and body. And having this trust issue with someone you should deeply love is hard. But all this pain made her stand her ground and strengthen her mind and soul. She's determined and understand that life can be tough, but she's able to survive, even the hardest moments.
Well, I myself had some situations in my life that scarred my mind and, later, helped me survive the struggle. My mind was stronger and I could go, not only through it, but also help others that were living something similar.
If there is one thing I disagree, though, is not giving all your strength to heal the relationship with someone that hurt you in the past. Try to forgive, first, your mind and your thoughts about him or her. If it is possible, try to have some chat. Well, songs speak to me, and that is one thing that I'm dealing with and am trying my hard to first forgive in my mind.
What is your armour made of? Are you stronger than you were? Are you able to forgive and open a new chance?
