About This Track
'Battle' by Blur is a 1999 rock track from the album '13'. The lyrics are built around repeated calls to fight, with a sense of escalating confrontation, followed by a turn towards display and performance. Lines about “Here I love the bow” sit beside imagery of watching everything come down, and the narrator adopting a new, victorious gloss. The overall effect is combative and theatrical, as if aggression has been choreographed into a routine.
"Battle" is a track by Blur, from the album 13, released 15th March 1999. The track is 7:42 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Blur.
