 Richard views the album as her take on medieval literature , but calls her lyrics less " literal " than contemporary pop music . Lyrically , she portrays herself as an embattled queen in acts of guarding , fighting , surrendering , and conquering . She murmurs in the intro to " <unk> " , " I fight a battle every day , against discouragement and fear ... I must forever be on guard . " The track 's misspelled title is taken from the television series Game of Thrones . On " Goliath " , she declares , " I faced the Beast with my bare hands " . " <unk> " is an eccentric spelling of " glow " , referring to what the narrator wants to do with her lover to see each other in the night . " Tug of War " concludes a conflicted quest for dominance at the expense of a lover 's power . On the power ballad " Break of Dawn " , Richard promises herself and a love interest that he will " never see the break of dawn " . Richard , who wanted the album to end on a " hopeful " note , said that the title track " speaks of the fairytale . That naïveté . That moment where you felt anything is possible . " According to Laurie Tuffrey of The Quietus , the song concludes Goldenheart 's lyrical arc with a " wistful retrospect " on a relationship that began with Richard 's declaring her " champion " on " In the Hearts Tonight " and shifted to " Tug of War " , where she became " her own champion " .
