Champion - Fall Out Boy

Champion, champion

I'm calling you from the future
To let you know we've made a mistake
And there's a fog from the past that's giving me, giving me such a headache

And I'm back with a madness
I'm a champion of the people who don't believe in champions
I got nothing but dreams inside
I got nothing but dreams

I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe in, yeah

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
Champion, champion
Champion, champion

I got rage every day, on the inside
The only thing I do is sit around and kill time
I'm trying to blow out the pilot light
I'm trying to blow out the light

I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in

Young enough not to know what to believe

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

Champion, champion
I can do anything
Champion, champion
And I can do anything

Champion, champion
And I can do anything
Champion, champion
I can do anything!

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
And I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this, I can do anything

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this

I can do anything
I can do anything
I can do anything
I can do anything!

Champion, champion

Interpretation of Champion

The seventh studio album Mania of the band Fall Out Boy was released in January 2018. On it is the song Champion, which was co-written by the singer Sia.
Bassist and songwriter Pete Wentz himself says with reference to the song that we can be whoever we want, but our choices often leave us lonely and unfulfilled. Therefore, we should all actively shatter the false reality and not just sit around and kill time.
The video of the song shows people who see their lives with VR headsets, pass on difficult experiences and always slip into another role. In the end, there is a teenager who puts down the VR glasses and destroys them with a baseball bat. The clip metaphorically shows that we are able to be anything we can imagine. However, the final scene leaves a depressing feeling, as a young person obviously does not believe in his dreams. The music as well as the lyrics have a lot of power and convey a feeling of hope and strength, even if life has hurdles.
