30 Seconds to Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
N- n- now th- 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 waitin' all night now
I need you right now
I need you right now
Let's get lost tonight
You could be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary, I'm a boss tonight
And you don't give a damn what they all say right?
Awesome, the Christian and Christian Dior
And they don't make 'em like this anymore
I ask 'cause I'm not sure
Anybody out there real anymore?
Bow in the presence of greatness
'cause right now thou has forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness
That I would even show up to this fakeness
So go ahead go nuts go ape bitch
Especially in my pastel on my bapeness
Act like you can't tell who made this
New gospel homey, take six, and take this, haters
[Chorus]
I need you right now
I need you right now
I don't know if you got a man or not,
If you made plans or not
God put me in the 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?
There's a thousand you's, there's only one of me
I'm trippin', I'm caught up in the moment right?
This is Louis Vuitton Don night
So we gonna do everything that Jared like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well I'd do anything for a blonde-dike
And we'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Baby, you're makin' it (harder, better, faster, stronger)
[Chorus]
I need you right now [x4]
Don't act like I never told you [x8]
The lyrics of "Stronger" by 30 Seconds to Mars describe a sense of determination and perseverance. The chorus talks about how the struggles and challenges faced by the singer can only make them stronger. They need someone to be with them and not make them wait too long. This implies that the characters in the song are in a difficult situation and are trying to hold on to someone who can help them. The lines "I need you right now" are repeated throughout the song, increasing the intensity of the singer's feelings. The second stanza shifts the focus to the singer wanting to "get lost tonight" with someone who doesn't care about what others say. They want to enjoy the moment, and the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to make that possible. The latter half of the stanza refers to their greatness and how people should bow down to them. They question whether anyone is true and just in this world.
The final stanza reveals a shift in focus, as the singer addresses someone they want to be with. They don't know if this person is with someone else or if they have made other plans, but the singer believes that God has put them together. They're slightly intoxicated and confess to their feelings while referencing their luxurious lifestyle. The reference to the "Louis Vuitton Don night" is most likely pertaining to Kanye West, who refers to himself that way. They talk about wanting to be in the limelight and doing anything for it, highlighting their commitment and determination.

Bow in the presence of greatness

I came to this fake event even though I didn't want to
So go ahead go nuts go ape bitch
You can act crazy if you want to
Especially in my pastel on my bapeness
I look good in my pastel clothing
Act like you can't tell who made this
I want you to acknowledge that I created this music
New gospel homey, take six, and take this, haters
This is a new type of music that you should listen to, and don't listen to the haters
I don't know if you got a man or not,
I'm not sure if you are in a relationship or not
If you made plans or not
If you have made plans for the night
God put me in the plans or not
I believe that God has destined us to be together tonight
I'm trippin' this drink got me sayin' a lot
I'm feeling intoxicated and I'm talking too much
But I know that God put you in front of me
I believe that God has brought you to me for a reason
So how the hell could you front on me?
How could you ignore me when we were meant to be together tonight?
There's a thousand you's, there's only one of me
There are many people like you, but I am unique
I'm trippin', I'm caught up in the moment right?
I'm feeling overwhelmed and living in the moment, am I right?
This is Louis Vuitton Don night
This is a fancy and extravagant night
So we gonna do everything that Jared like
We are going to do everything that I like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
I heard people would do anything for a Klondike ice cream bar
Well I'd do anything for a blonde-dike
I would do anything for a beautiful blonde woman
And we'll do anything for the limelight
We will do anything to be in the spotlight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
We will do anything when the timing is right
Baby, you're makin' it (harder, better, faster, stronger)
You're making me grow to be a better person, even though it's hard
Don't act like I never told you
Don't act like I haven't already expressed my feelings towards 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!
@alolune
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
@iMeganBrooks
I didn't notice it was a cover of Stronger until I heard the tune in the background! They've totally done this justice, they've made it there own, and it's beautiful.
