Song Meaning of “The Winner Takes It All” by Susan Boyle
The Winner Takes It All by Susan Boyle is about the cost of a broken relationship. In the song, the narrator has resigned themselves to the fact that they must take the hard road of moving on with their life after a love has been lost. While they may have taken the brunt of the heartache and pain, in the end, they still remain standing. Through the emotional pain of their bruised heart, they learn that sometimes you must take the fall and surrender the heart’s desire to life’s outcome. Although, the strong will remain standing, being a “winner” means accepting the greater strength of life itself. Life isn’t about a winner or a loser, it’s about the journey. All that’s left in the winner’s hand is the bittersweet release of existence.
