The war is both the circumstances of living in the world and its pressures as well as the personal struggle she mentions of facing one's own fear, the personal cross to bear. Heavy is the head that wears the crown is similar to a line in Shakespeare's Henry IV, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," and refers to the responsibility of leadership and it's affect on others. It shows she takes the influence of her art seriously, and I think she believes letting her light shine in her own way is the best influence right now even though it has the power to shock.
She'll go with this for now, though it's all in the sea of relationships with fans, organizations in society like religion and the media industry, so her question remains, "Who am I living for?

General Comment this song is insane. General Comment I agree this song is intense, and what it makes even more like that, is her voice. It sounds amazing, so raw and emotional. My Interpretation This song is about Perry's personal struggle between the direction she wants her music to take her and her fans and what pop culture and the media expects and wants from her.
She is a former gospel singer, so she does have strong Christian roots. Her debut single "I Kissed A Girl" is sexually charged and homo-erotic, which obviously butts heads with a Christian belief system. Songs from this album like "Peacock" and "T. F" are about lust and gluttony.
He helped her on her path to success specifically so she could bring God back into the mainstream. The chorus addresses how in the beginning of her career she went along with what everyone wanted of her but now she can no longer ignore that this is not what she intended for her music. In the second verse after the first chorus she addresses God directly and asks for His favor "like Ester".
What Am I Living For (Remastered) - Single by Chuck Willis on Apple Music
Perry knows she will have to sacrifice popularity if she wants to share her message of God's love with the world, "But that's the price" she is willing to pay. The points in the song when she sings with an English accent "crowning bat'le" and "bol a light-en-ning" are nods to her English husband Russell Brand who clearly supports her in her charge of bringing her beliefs into the mainstream. For Perry this is an incredibly deep song and an insight into her view of the media industry and what it all means to her.
Will she give in? Or will we continue to see more songs like this from her? General Comment I liked this song better when I didn't read all these comments talking about religion.
What Am I Living For
I don't blame you. There's a lot of hypocrites out there, a lot of corruption in churches and in self-proclaimed Christians. I'm a Christian and I would be the first one to admit that. Heck, I'm a hypocrite sometimes. Personally, I believe that to be a Christian is to have a personal relationship with Jesus and to live a life that would please God. If you're not doing that, then you're not a real Christian. If you're not doing that and call yourself a Christian, then you're a hypocrite.
Do people screw up? Heck yes, all the time. But that's why Jesus died on the cross. God gave up the perfect sacrifice so we could have a relationship with him. He forgives us for our shortcomings. We learn a little and make ourselves better as we go. Keep in mind, I'm not trying to offend anyone with my beliefs. While I'm a Christian, I'm not looking to force my belief system on anyone else.
Jesus is my role model and I try to live a life that would please God, plain and simple. If you want to learn about Jesus, you know my name. My Opinion I agree with the belief that Perry is singing about her struggle between her lifestyle and a Christian lifestyle, but I disagree with the interpretations of the lines, "Heavy is the head that wears the crown, don't let the greatness get you down.
When Jesus was crucified, the crowd mocked him and the officials placed on his head a crown of thorns. Your high-resolution PDF file will be ready to download in the original published key.
