Toy Soldiers Lyrics

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
What can I say?
It's true I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay
When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes
Takes the fall

Won't you come out and play with me?

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be?
How could I be so blind to this addiction?
If I don't stop
The next one's gonna be me

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain

Won't you come out and play with me?

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

(We never win)

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain

Won't you come out and play with me?

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

(Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down)

What is the Meaning of Toy Soldiers?

This poignant track is a metaphorical exploration of emotional vulnerability and the struggles of addiction. The singer compares herself and others to toy soldiers, marching in line but ultimately falling down, symbolizing the continuous cycle of addiction. The repeated invitations to 'come out and play' hint at the initial allure and seeming innocence of substance use, which quickly spirals into a battle that 'wages on'. The emptiness that remains once the euphoria fades is a harsh reminder of the reality they are trying to escape from. This song serves as both a cautionary tale and an empathetic reflection on addiction's grip on individuals. #Addiction #EmotionalStruggle #MetaphoricalExpression #CycleOfAddiction
