Analysing Lyrics "Not Giving In."

Lost my heart
And lost my soul
Now it’s time
Baby, oh no

Lost my mind
And lost my goal

Oh, not giving in
I’m not giving in
Not giving in
Woh, I’m not giving in

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

This time,I’m gonna be stronger
I’m not giving in

Waste my time…
Lost, and now my love is cursed
Time to make these things feel right
Oh, let’s start this show
Let’s shine this time

Oh, I’m not giving in
Not giving in
Not giving in
Not this time
Not gonna give in

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

This time, I’m gonna be stronger
I’m not giving in

Nooo
Not giving in
Not giving in
I’m gonna be stronger
I’m gonna be stronger

(This time
I’m gonna be stronger
I’m not giving in)



The lyrics in this song represent the fact that the artist feels that he has been weak and needs to be stronger and start changing things. "Lost my heart and lost my soul" although he hasn't physically lost either of them, he feels that somewhere down the line he has lost who he is. "Lost my mind and lost my goal" This shows to us that he did originally have some goals, but they have been forgotten and he hasn't reached them. The fact that the chorus says "not giving in, i'm gonna be stronger" shows to us that he is trying to get the message across that he is changing the way things have been and that from now on he is going to be a stronger person and do things the way that he had always planned. We don't know who exactly it is that he isn't giving in to, and this makes the audience wonder. Is it music critics, is it people in the industry who are trying to change him, is is someone close to him? It creates questions for the people who are listening to the track.
