Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes us harder, better, faster, stronger
N-n-now that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
Man, I've been waiting all night now
That's how long I been on ya
(Work it harder, make it better)
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
I need you right now
(More than ever, hour after hour, work)
I need you right now
Let's get lost tonight
You could be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary, I'm the boss tonight
And you don't give a fuck what they all say, right?
Awesome, the Christian in Christian Dior
Damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore
I ask, 'cause I'm not sure
Do anybody make real shit anymore?
Bow in the presence of greatness
'Cause right now thou hast forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness
That I would even show up to this fake shit
So go ahead, go nuts, go apeshit
'Specially in my Pastelle, on my Bape shit
Act like you can't tell who made this
New Gospel, homie, take six and take this, haters
N-n-now that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger
Man, I've been waiting all night now
That's how long I been on ya
(Work it harder, make it better)
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
I need you right now
(More than ever, hour after hour, work)
I need you right now (me likey)
I don't know if you got a man or not
If you made plans or not
If God put me in your plans or not
I'm trippin', this drink got me sayin' a lot
But I know that God put you in front of me
So how the hell could you front on me?
It's a thousand yous, there's only one of me
I'm trippin', I'm caught up in the moment, right?
'Cause it's Louis Vuitton Don night
So we gonna do everything that Kan' like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well, I'd do anything for a blonde dyke
And she'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Uh, baby you're makin' it (harder, better, faster, stronger)
N-n-now that that don't kill me (oh, oh)

"Stronger" is a song by American band 30 Seconds to Mars, featuring rapper Kanye West. The song samples the classic Daft Punk song, "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger." The lyrics speak of overcoming obstacles and becoming stronger. The repeated phrase "harder, better, faster, stronger," suggests that working hard and pushing oneself can lead to improvement and strength.
The verses describe Kanye's pursuit of a woman, who he believes God has put in his path. He claims to have been waiting for her all night and is eager for her to join him. He boasts of his fame and success, claiming that people should bow in his presence.
The chorus "n-now that that don't kill me, can only make me stronger" encourages the listener to embrace challenges and obstacles as opportunities for growth. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the importance of resilience and perseverance.
The song also touches on themes of materialism and consumer culture with references to luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior.

Let's get lost tonight
You could be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary, I'm the boss tonight
And you don't give a fuck what they all say, right?
Awesome, the Christian in Christian Dior
Damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore
I ask, 'cause I'm not sure

Act like you can't tell who made this
New Gospel homie, take six and take this, haters
Let's escape from reality tonight, and you can be my glamorous companion. I am in charge tonight, and you don't care what anyone thinks. My designer clothing and religious convictions make me unique, and I wonder if anyone else is producing genuine works of art. Recognize my greatness and bow before me. Although I am late, you should feel grateful that I came to this insincere gathering. So go ahead, go wild, be insane. Show your appreciation for my fashion style and act like you can't determine who created this music. This is my new gospel, listen closely.
I don't know if you got a man or not
If you made plans or not
If God put me in the plans or not
I'm tripping, this drink got me saying a lot
But I know that God put you in front of me
So how the hell could you front on me?
It's a thousand yous, there's only one of me
I'm tripping, I'm caught up in the moment, right?
'Cause it's Louis Vuitton Don night
So we gonna do everything that Kan like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well, I'd do anything for a blonde dyke
And she'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Uh, baby you're makin' it (harder, better, faster, stronger)
I don't know if you are already involved with someone or if you have any set plans. Perhaps fate brought us together, but I may be under the influence of alcohol. Still, I believe we have a connection tipped by destiny, so why would you turn away from me? While there may be many women like you, there is only one of me. I may be caught up in the moment, but tonight is a special occasion when we will indulge ourselves in luxury. I heard people would do anything for chocolate, but I would do anything for a blonde woman. She would do almost anything for fame, and we are willing to do anything for each other when the timing is right. You are making me feel stronger, better, faster.
You know how long I've been on ya?
Since Prince was on Apollonia
Since O.J. Had Isotoners
Don't act like I never told ya
I have been interested in you for a long time, dating back to when Prince was romantically involved with Apollonia and when O.J. Simpson wore Isotoner gloves. Don't pretend I didn't make my intentions clear to you.

You know 30 seconds to mars is more than just Jared Leto right? I know he's hot and everything, but Tomo and Shannon are just as equally as talented and deserve just as much recognition as Jared, I love all of them. With out Tomo or Shannon the music would never be the same. <3
@solomonswishbabe
This is an amazing song! Jared is so talented and his voice is so beautiful. I love love love this!

This is perfect. This band can change up a whole song to where it doesn't sound familiar anymore. Jared can cover any song, it's wonderful. <3
