Lyrics for Battle of One as interpreted by sandwichbunzzz

Battle of One Lyrics
Try and stop me
Try and save me

I want to fall

Try and crush me
Take me, seize me

I want to fall
I want to fall

I want to fall
I want to fall

It's just about invincible in existence, if you ask me. The title says it all, it's one person's struggle with survival.

And this song is my favourite 30STM song of the lot. Thank god it got included. Try singing it some time - there's nothing that's frees you up so much, you just let fucking rip.

Hmmm maybe redking is right, although id say the title goes witth one persons sturggle for survival to. However id say one persons struggle to achieve something could be closer. Yeah not many lyircs, short song.

I LOVE this song. I always listne to it before a vball game. As far as the meaning goes, I think it's about the battle that everyone goes through when they try to improve at something. You can't improve without being challenged or falling every once in a while.

This song is just friggin sick. If you are at a concert and don't go nuts when they do it. You shouldn't be there... it's so much energy.It's like a rage against the machine moment.

I think that the meaning of this song is really up for the individual to interpret. There are so many different possibilities for what it could mean. As for me, when I hear it, I think of martyrdom.

it reminds me something that belongs in movie. you know like a sports movie and the whole build up (ooohhhhhhh) part leads into the defining moment of the game.

i agree with the feeling of invincibility thing. whenever i hear this song i feel invincible. its a fantastic pump up song. i always sing it to myslef right before i face off in lacrosse. it sends chills up my spine and i agree that it is like RAGE moment when you hear it live.
as jared has said at the concerts ive been to "i want you to dance around like a bunch of crazy mother fuckers on crack"

It reminds me of like a hero kind of. That on the outside they are strong and unstoppable, but on the inside they are always alone, and they always have a death wish in a way.

It's amazing how short the lyrics are... and yet, there's so much meaning behind the lyrics. When Jared sings, it sounds like he's saying so much more. When I listened to this before I looked at the lyrics, I never realized how short it was.
The first couple of lies, I think, is basically a person going insane. He wants to fall, he wants to destroy himself, and he doesn't want anyone saving him by giving him pills or taking him to a shrink. He wants people to leave him alone and let him do what he wants to himself.
"Try and crush me. Take me, seize me." probably means something like "Try to make me feel worse. I'm already in hell. Try and grab me and throw me there. I WANT to fall."

I guess i agree that this song can be about being a martyr. I interpret it as 1 person taking on everthing (or everyone) who is against them whether it be in life or sport or whatever. It's a great song though definitely 1 of their best (though all their songs are awesome!)

You guys are trying to make more out of this song than what it really is.

He is insanely good at Halo 2 and no one could beat him.

I think it's about depression and suicide. The state of mind where, no matter what anybody says or does, they can't stop you... you just want to die or fall.

He wants to fall into this gay love affair. He forsakes everything he thought was right because he wants to fall... he wants to be broken. Because it feels better than living a lie. Deep, I know.

its about someone who is a complete self sabotager. who wants to be amazing at everything he tries, but he thrives on his own self pity and constantly wants to fail
