[Refrain]
Like a small boat on 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
Pre-Chorus]
And all those things I didn't say
Were wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
[Chorus]
This is my fight song (Hey)
Take back my life song (Hey)
Prove I'm alright song (Hey, ha)
My power's turned on (Hey)
Starting right now, I'll be strong (Hey)
I'll play my fight song (Hey)
And I don't really care if nobody else believes (Ha)
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
[Verse]
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep, say I'm in too deep (In too deep)
And it's been two years, I miss my home (I miss my home)
But there's a fire burning in my bones (In my bones)
Still believe, yeah, I still believe
It doesn’t take a lot to cause a chain
reaction. These lines compare
insignificant things which result in
making a huge difference. All three
take a person to do so, like her.
Despite her past, she’s ready to tell the world what she
has to say – she wants to be heard, loud and clear.
She spent most of her life holding back the things she
wanted to say, thus causing her to have a destructive
mindset – as destructive as a wrecking ball slamming into
anything and everything in its way.
This song is her declaration that she’s taking
back her life, she’s doing okay, and that she
doesn’t need people to believe in her because
she’s determined to keep fighting. It’s not her
problem if people don’t think she’s strong
enough to fight back all the negativity. She
knows she is. This powerful, encouraging
chorus gives people confidence to do better, be
better, and keep pushing forward regardless of
the circumstances.
She may not be literally referring to a house, but
rather using the word home to describe a different
situation, mindset, or time. Although she is longing
for something, she still believes that she can do
whatever she originally set out to do. After all, she
can trigger explosions with just a match, so her
fiery passion will get her through.
