About Won't Back Down

"Won't Back Down" is a song performed by American rock band Fuel. Written by guitarist Carl Bell, the song was originally released as the lead single for the 2003 film soundtrack Daredevil: The Album. Eventually, another version of the song would be included on Fuel's third album later that year, Natural Selection. It was titled, "Won't Back Down (Bring You Hell remix)." "Won't Back Down" is more industrial sounding than the rest of the band's catalog, which is partially due to the nature of the film, and also due to Bell having less than a week to write the song to meet Fox studios' deadline in order make the film and soundtrack. It is the first song played in the credits of the movie.

Yeah
I know what darkness means (and the point to run from me)
The isolation stings (so thick it wants to bleed)
The echoes in my brain (all the things you said to me)
You took my everything (now I'm coming for you)

I won't back down
I will not bow
(I've come to bring you hell)
And I can't forget
The things you did
(I've come to bring you hell)

The shadows that you see (in the places that you sleep)
Are memories of me (you better pray your soul too keep)
The truth behind your eyes (you know the things you never see)
Your darkest little lies (I'm coming for you)

I won't back down
I will not bow
(I've come to bring you hell)
And I can't forget
The things you did
(I've come to bring you hell)

Of all the scars that never heal
Of all the wounds that will not seal
I will not forget the day
These memories never fall, yeah

I won't back down
I will not bow
(I've come to bring you hell)
And I can't forget
The things you did
(I've come to bring you hell)

I've come to bring you hell (I've come to bring you hell)
I've come to bring you hell (I've come to bring you hell)
I've come to bring you hell (I've come to bring you hell)
I've come to bring you hell (I've come to bring you hell)

Fuel

Fuel is any material that stores energy that can later be extracted to perform mechanical work in a controlled manner. Most fuels used by humans undergo combustion, a redox reaction in which a combustible substance releases energy after it ignites and reacts with the oxygen in the air. Other processes used to convert fuel into energy include various other exothermic chemical reactions and nuclear reactions, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Fuels are also used in the cells of organisms in a process known as cellular respiration, where organic molecules are oxidized to release usable energy. Hydrocarbons are by far the most common source of fuel used by humans, but other substances, including radioactive metals, are also utilized. more »
