Dead by April Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I once started
But something was always here holding me back from it
Kept me from making it happen
It's so unreal
The clock is ticking, the time is passing me by
Passing me by
All that is near
Now it's time, to show them all
What I am, who I am, what I think
Anwser me it's all that I'm asking
Taking back what I've been missing
Looking back making me stronger
My despair plagues me no longer
My despair
So it seems tat I've found my escape out from your prison
I am once again myself, stronger than ever
Feeling so free, feeling secure
Nothing can get me now, nothing at all
Feeling alive, it took me longer than I ever expected
Everywhere (Everywhere)
All that is near
Now it's time, to show them all
What I am, who I am, what I think
Anwser me it's all that I'm asking
Taking back what I've been missing
Looking back making me stronger
My despair plagues me no longer
Everywhere (Everywhere)
All that is near
Everywhere (Everywhere)
All that is near
Anwser me it's all that I'm asking
Taking back what I've been missing
Looking back making me stronger
My despair plagues me no longer
My despair
Oooh
My despair
The lyrics to Dead by April's song "Stronger" speak to the theme of perseverance and taking control of one's own life. The first few lines express the frustration of feeling stuck and unable to complete something that was once started. Despite feeling held back, the singer resolves to "show them all what [they] are" and to assert their thoughts and identity. The chorus reinforces the theme of taking control by asking for answers, taking back what was missed, and looking back to find strength. The final lines of the song underscore the newfound sense of empowerment and freedom that has been achieved.
Overall, the lyrics in "Stronger" are inspiring and hopeful, conveying a message of resilience and determination. The song encourages listeners to persist even when things seem difficult or impossible, and to find strength within themselves to overcome obstacles.
