(RAC Remix)- Katy Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
You ripped me off, your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Now look at me I'm sparkling
A firework, a dancin' flame
You won't ever put me out again, I'm glowin' oh whoa
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothin' anyway
In fact you can keep everything, yeah, yeah, except for me
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me, no
Away from me
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
The lyrics of Katy Perry's song "Part of Me" speak of a woman who has been hurt by her lover, but is now resilient and empowered. The song reveals a strong desire to break away from the past and the person who caused her pain. The first stanza features the singer expressing her wish to drive away and leave her lover behind. She feels used and worthless, as though he saw her as poison. However, she realizes that she has a different outlook on life compared to the past. She intones that no one can take this newfound drive away from her.
The chorus talks about how nothing will make her give up the new attitude she has adopted. The woman compares herself to a firework that cannot be extinguished and a diamond that cannot be taken. The second verse suggests that the singer has experienced bad times in the past, but she recognizes the people who really care for her. She sings that she can shine and sparkle, and nothing will put her out. The final verse reiterates how adamant she is that nothing will take away the person she is today.
