Invincible
♫ Kelly Clarkson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I was broke down, I had hit the ground
I was crying out, I couldn't make no sound
No one hears the silent tears collecting
You know I had lost hope, I was all alone
Never been so long till you came along
Teacher, I feel the dots connecting

Beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall
'Cause I can take on so much more than I had ever dreamed
So beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall
'Cause baby, I am ready to be free

Now I am invincible
No, I ain't a scared little girl no more
Yeah, I am invincible
What was I running for
I was hiding from the world
I was so afraid, I felt so unsure
Now I am invincible another perfect storm

Now I am a warrior, a shooting star
I know I got this far, had a broken heart
No one hears the silent tears collecting
'Cause it's being weak, but strong in the truth I found
I have courage now, gonna shout it out
Teacher, I feel the dots connecting

Beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall
'Cause I can take on so much more than I had ever dreamed
So beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall
'Cause baby, I am ready to be free

Now I am invincible
No, I ain't a scared little girl no more
Yeah, I am invincible
What was I running for
I was hiding from the world
I was so afraid, I felt so unsure
Now I am invincible another perfect storm

I was running from an empty threat
Of emptiness
I was running from an empty threat
That didn't exist
I was running from an empty threat
Of abandonment
I was running from an empty threat
That didn't exist

But now I am invincible
No, I ain't a scared little girl no more
Yeah, I am invincible
What was I running for
I was hiding from the world
I was so afraid, I felt so unsure
Now I am invincible another perfect storm

Now I am invincible
No, I ain't a scared little girl no more
Yeah, I am invincible
What was I running for (What was I running for)
I was hiding from the world




I was so afraid, I felt so unsure (I was so unsure)
Now I am invincible another perfect storm

Behind their "cool sounding music" lies list of sick and evil rituals, the all must do in order to have their time in the spotlight. For there is A PRICE to everything, including the rich and famous lives on this earth.
Mark 1:13
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
Hebrews 2:18
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Luke 4:2
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
Matthew 4:10
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.


James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2 Corinthians 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
1 Thessalonians 3:5
For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.


The same way Christ was tempted, so are all humans also tempted:
“Bow down to lucifer and all the earthly riches he will give to you” – and that's how we got our human entertainers (singers, actors, influencers), they were tempted with the “cool lives to live on earth” and they fell for it. The Blood Contract – as they all call it, and at the end of it, the biggest price to pay.
Why did they fell? - because mankind is no longer raised up with the truth and in the truth.

Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Sadly we do the opposite with the younger generations and train them up all the ways they should not go. Leaving them in danger of getting tempted by satan and without the Armour of GOD.

Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Theres a place that I know
Its not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away

Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am

Everybodys got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobodys a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Like a diamond
From black dust
Its hard to know
what can become
if you give up
So dont give up on me
Please remind me who I really am

Everybodys got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobodys a picture perfect
But were worth it
You know that were worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Dont run away
Dont run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Dont run away
Dont run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay

Will you love me? ohh
Everybodys got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobodys a picture perfect
But were worth it
You know that were worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Gerald Levina because at least you (and a few others) know you didn't do it.
Don't let others drag you down, keep your head up. They can only speak against you, for without you doing it yourself they have no proof.

EVERYONE 'sins'. Even the people you think could never do any wrong.

Be good for you. No one else. You don't need anyone elses approval. The ONLY person you need to be better than is who you were yesterday.

You aren't alone either. Trust me I know exactly what you are saying. I taught myself to not give a shit and do what I want, not what everyone else does.
Not go against what they want, that's not the point. Chose your own path, only you can make your choices, even if you don't think that.

I think this song is so underrated :(

@wahteklim3688

I agree with you.

@nataliapaliza5407

is just that this song deserves a lot more of attention and appreciation. I have nothing against today's music but I wish Kelly's songs were more appreciated.

@laughdamnhard

+Natalia Snow you are right, it's so beautiful...

@skagidoodlez8427

I wuv this song :3

@jeffersoniandeleon5954

I guess this song isn't underrated. It gets popular enough during that time. It was on charts. Fair enough. Music industry is competent as usual.

I don't think enough people realize how important this song is. Clarkson is basically singing about how nobody is perfect. As you saw in the video, you see people arguing, getting into fights, using drugs, becoming alcoholic, divorcing, stressed out, and people who weren't born normal. This just goes to show you that humans weren't born perfect and that everyone has a "dark side" within themselves, meaning they have anger, depression, guilt, anything that's considered a bad mood. More people should react to this, it's just such a good song.
