Living a life is simple. You just need to face and go through anything in your way. No matter how hard the thing is, you must face it and (if possible) overcome it.
That's the theory. In reality, life is not that simple. It's not as easy as Patrick the Star thinks. However, it's also not as complicate as Squidward supposes.
What you really need in life is courage and confidence. This life may sometimes give you difficult challenges. So difficult the challenges are that you think it's no more choice but to surrender. In such situation, no one can help you but you yourself. And how can you help yourself? The answer is by your courage and confidence.
In this song entitled Warrior, Avril Lavigne is describing one's courage and confidence in facing the life. The word 'I' in the song seems to refer to Avril Lavigne herself. So, the song is about Avril's perspective toward her life.
It's clear , then, that Avril lives a hard life. We all know that she experienced depression in the past. It's not easy to recover from such condition. That is only possible to happen if she have gaines her courage and confidence.
Well, that's my view of the meaning of Avril Lavigne's Warrior. Your comment is always welcomed. And for your reference, thw following is the lyric of the song.
I'll pick my battles 'cause I know I'm gonna win the war (win the war)
I'm not rattled 'cause I'd shattered all of this before (this before)
Steadier than steel 'cause I'm ready with my shield and sword (shield and sword)
Back on the saddel 'cause I gotta get on my strength for more (strength for more)
And I won't bow, I won't break
No, I'm not afraid of you whatever it takes
I'll never bow, I'll never break
'Cause I'm a warrior
I fight for my life like a soldier
All through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive
I will conquer, time after time
I'll never falter, I will survive
I'm a warrior
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
I'm a warrior
Like a viking I'll be fighting through the day and night (day and night)
I'll be marching through the darkness 'til the morning light (morning light)
Even when it's harder like the armor you will see me shine (see me shine)
I won't stop and I won't drop 'till the victory's mine ()victory's mine)
And I won't bow, I won't break
No, I'm not afraid to do whatever it takes
I'll never bow, I'll never break
'Cause I'm a warrior
I fight for my life like a soldier
All through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive
I will conquer, time after time
I'll never falter, I will survive
I'm a warrior, oh
Oh, you can't shoot me down
You can't stop me now
I got a whole damn army
Oh, they tried to break me down
They tried to take me out
You can't cut a scar on me
I'm a warrior
I fight for my life like a soldier
All through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive (I am stronger)
I will conquer, time after time (I will conquer)
I'll never falter, I will survive (I'll never falter)
I'm a warrior (I'm a warrior)
Oh, oh, oh
I am a warrior
Oh, oh, oh
I am a warrior
In my life I often have to face hurdles and difficulties. Uncomfortable situations are my daily challenges. Listening to this song makes me gain the strength to face anything. My life is not as hard as Avril's.
