Stand Up
Big Wig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of "Stand Up" by Big Wig express a call for unity across races and creeds, rejecting national borders and flags as hindrances to achieving this goal. The song asserts a determination to overcome rivalries and conflicts through communication and mutual understanding and declares that the X Generation, likely referring to the young people of the time period in which the song was released (late 1990s), will prevail.
The lyrics also express a sense of frustration at the mistakes of the past and a desire to take radical action to realize one's dreams. The lines "Sometimes there's need to be extreme / Don't let anything come between your dreams" suggest a belief in the importance of taking risks and breaking with convention, particularly if it means breaking free of societal constraints that hold individuals back.
The song ultimately presents a message of hope and empowerment, urging listeners to stand up and fight for what they believe in, even in the face of opposition. The repeated refrain "We will win!" reinforces this theme, encouraging listeners to embrace a sense of optimism and defiance.
