"Frontline" is a powerful breakup song, where the speaker asserts her autonomy and refuses to be held back by a past relationship. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that the speaker cannot go back to the way things were before, and she won't be solely identified by her former partner's problems, or "blues".
The speaker feels that her ex-partner had held her back in some way, causing her to lose herself and almost drown in her struggles. But now that she has pushed past this difficult time, she understands that she cannot return to that old self, nor can she return to the relationship.
The lyrics in the verse and pre-chorus highlight the speaker's determination to break free and move forward, even if her ex-partner doesn't fully understand why. The bridge expresses a sense of self-confidence and motivation to succeed on her own, with the world betting on her. The repeated response in the outro of "No, no, I'm not the one" further cements her sense of agency and refusal to be limited by anyone else's expectations.
