Roar
Bea Miller & Boyce Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all
I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) you're gonna hear me roar
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) you're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) you'll hear me roar
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) you're gonna hear me roar
Roar, roar, roar, roar
Roar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion
You're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
You're gonna hear me roar
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) you're gonna hear me roar
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) you'll hear me roar
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) you're gonna hear me roar
The lyrics of "Roar" by Bea Miller and Boyce Avenue talk about standing up for oneself after being held down by someone else. The singer initially used to hold back and avoid causing any trouble, but then realized that they had a choice and shouldn't have let the other person push them beyond their limits. The singer is now determined to be their own hero and fight for themselves. They compare themselves to a fighter with the eye of the tiger and the ability to dance through the fire, despite the obstacles they've faced.
The chorus of the song is a powerful declaration that the singer is a champion and everyone is going to hear them roar. They are no longer going to let anyone hold them down, and their determination is louder than a lion. The message of the song is one of empowerment and strength, encouraging listeners to stand up for themselves and fight for what they believe in.
