This song is by Samantha Jade and it is called Soldier, the song is about 3 minutes long and it is upbeat with a verse which is slow. This song has 3 choruses which are the same bit repeated in different parts of the song. There are 4 verses in this song, one of which is repeated. The story of this song is her trying to persuade her boyfriend to stay with her and not leave.
In the first verse she mentions 'I'm laying here in the darkness, the middle of nowhere', this is an image of someone laying down in pitch black where no one is around. This could represent her being alone and has no one around to support her. Also, she sings, 'Don't wanna be like this, I'm losing my mind', this states that she does not want to be feeling this way anymore because she is losing her mind too much and it's killing her.
In the second verse she mentions, 'Wanna see inside your head, What's going on in there?'. This is trying to tell the listener that she wants to know what is going on inside this man's head, whether he still loves her or not. She wants to know urgently to be able to rest. 'Tell me where you are, So I can stop and take a breath', these lyrics shows that she is still searching for her love again and she is losing her breath because she is chasing him a lot. She wants to know where he is so she can stop worrying as much. The next part of the 2nd verse she says, 'Cause nothing's making sense, I don't want this to end.' This is hinting that she is confused and does not know what is going on with herself and her ex partner or partner. She is begging the relationship not to end.
Furthermore, the chorus shows a variety of emotions, 'Stay with me a little longer, Why don't you stay.' These lyrics show that she is desperate to have her boyfriend stay with her but he is wanting to leave her. 'Now, would you fight for me? D-d-d-die for me?' These two lines of the chorus show that she wants him to protect her all the time, she's asking whether he'd be there all the time even through the troubles that she has.
In the 3rd verse she's expressing how he made her become more confident, 'You brought me out of my shell' these are the lyrics to show that. 'Put me under your spell, now I'm walking a straight line, to you', this shows that she has fallen for this boy so much that she can not turn away and she just keeps going back to him no matter what he does to her. Also, she says 'I'll never surrender' this shows that she will not give up on fighting for him to stay. Samantha Jade also explains how he helps her a lot but also puts her down as well, 'You're my pain and pleasure all together'. By saying this she is describing no matter what he puts her through she still wants him there.
Finally, in the 4th verse she is asking him if it was just them two in the world would he still be with her? 'If only it was us against the world, tell me, would you stand for all we're worth?' Them lyrics support that point. Then she is explaining how he never answered her and she feels like that is the end for her and him, like death, 'Your silence is a gun, gun, gun, gun, aiming at the one, one, one, one'. This shows that he didn't answer her and she feels like she can not fight anymore as it has all disappeared. In addition she says she won't ever change no matter what, she still loves him and that won't ever go away. 'Who's still the same? My love wont change.'

Mmm... Mmm...
1st Verse- I'm laying here in the darkness
The middle of nowhere
There's no one in sight
Caught in the madness
Don't wanna be like this
I'm losing my mind
2nd Verse- Wanna see inside your head
What's going on in there?
Tell me where you are
So I can stop and take a breath
Cause nothing's making sense
I don't want this to end
Come and get me out of this mess
Chorus- I want you to stay (oh), stay (oh)
Stay with me a little longer
Why don't you stay (oh), stay (oh)
Don't you wanna be my Soldier?
Now, would you fight for me?

Don't you wanna be my Soldier?
