Here I Stand
Call It Out! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything I said
Wasn't enough
Voices in my head
Every tear I shed
Was it enough?
'Cause you built me up
But I won't be lost
Where you're found
'Cause here I stand
Here I am
Here I stand
Here I am
I was losing my will
Everything would still
Make me feel stuck
Then the pressure built
Everything I felt
Pushing your luck
'Cause you built me up
Just to tear me down
But I won't be lost where you're found
'Cause here I stand
Here I am
Here I stand
Here I am
Once so close
Now we're falling from so high
Left here with your ghost
To wonder why
All the words I said
Every tear I shed
Was it enough?
Here I stand
Here I am
Here I stand
Here I am
All the words I said
Every tear I shed
Wasn't enough
The lyrics of Call It Out!'s song "Here I Stand" portray a sense of resilience and personal strength in the face of adversity. The song explores the emotions of feeling inadequate and being torn down by someone else's actions, yet refusing to let those experiences define and control oneself.
The lyrics suggest a struggle to meet the expectations of someone else, as expressed through phrases like "All the words I said, everything I said, wasn't enough" and "Voices in my head, every tear I shed, was it enough?" This reflects the feeling of constantly falling short and questioning one's worth. However, there is a shift in perspective as the singer realizes that they don't have to succumb to this negative influence. They refuse to be lost in the same place where the other person resides, indicating a sense of empowerment and determination to rise above the situation.
The repetition of the lines "Here I stand, here I am" emphasizes the singer's firm decision to stand their ground and be true to themselves. It signifies their refusal to be defeated or defined by someone else's actions. Despite the challenges faced and the pressure that may have built up, the singer chooses to maintain their individuality and resilience.
Overall, "Here I Stand" conveys a message of self-empowerment, breaking free from toxic influences, and finding strength in one's own identity.
