Stronger
Dazzled Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Simply using my fantasy and wonder, wonder
Most times reality feels like a wall surrounding me
I wonder, wonder
If I run away and leave these crazy days
Would it make me stronger, stronger
Can I brush away all these shapes of grey
In the mirror I can see a troubled loyal enemy
Stronger, so much stronger than me
You think I wear a crown but I can't get that wall down
It's stronger, so much stronger
If I run away and leave these crazy days
Would it make me stronger, stronger
Can I brush away all these shapes of grey
Coming out stronger, stronger
If I run away and leave these crazy days
Would it make me stronger, stronger
Can I brush away all these shapes of grey
Coming out stronger, stronger
Yeah, if I run away and leave these crazy days
Would it make me stronger, stronger
Can I brush away all these shapes of grey
Coming out stronger, stronger than yesterday
The lyrics to Dazzled Kid's song "Stronger" paint a picture of an individual who is feeling trapped by their reality. They long for a way out and imagine a world where they can run away and escape the burdens that weigh them down. However, they also question whether this act of running away would actually make them stronger or if it would just be a temporary relief from their problems.
The lyrics use the imagery of a wall surrounding the singer, representing their feelings of being trapped and confined. They also mention the idea of "shapes of grey," which could be interpreted as the mundane and uninspiring aspects of everyday life. The singer seems to be yearning for something more, something that will allow them to break free from their current situation.
Amidst these thoughts of running away and starting anew, the singer also recognizes their own inner struggles. They see themselves as a troubled and loyal enemy, implying that they may be their own worst enemy. Despite outward appearances, they face their own challenges and feel unable to break down the wall in front of them.
The chorus of the song asks the same question twice: "If I run away and leave these crazy days, would it make me stronger?" The answer is unclear, as the singer seems to be both hopeful and unsure. They also mention "brushing away" the shapes of grey, which could be interpreted as finding a way to overcome the monotony of everyday life.
Overall, the lyrics to "Stronger" express a desire for change and growth. The singer is seeking a path to become stronger and overcome their challenges, whether that means running away or finding a way to face their struggles head-on.
