This Is Me
Demi Lovato(黛米 洛瓦托) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've always been the kinda girl that hid my face
So afraid to tell the world what I've got to say
But I have this dream right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time to let you know, to let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am, there's no way to hold it in
No more hidin' who I wanna be, this is me, yeah

Do you know what it's like to feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life when you're the shining star
Even though it seems like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself, it's the only way

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am, there's no way to hold it in
No more hidin' who I wanna be, this is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece, I need the song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am, there's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be

This is me
You're the missing piece, I need the song inside of me
This is me, yeah
You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing




Now I found who I am, there's no way to hold it in
No more hidin' who I wanna be, this is me

Overall Meaning

In “This Is Me”, Demi Lovato sings about finding the strength to be true to herself and finally showing the world who she is. She starts by recounting the struggle she’s always had with expressing herself and being open with others, but then quickly asserts that she won’t be holding back any longer. She’s going to embrace her dream and let herself be seen for who she truly is.


Furthermore, Demi describes feeling like she’s been in the dark for a long time, constantly dreaming of a future where she’s the shining star. Despite how far away that reality may seem, she knows that the key to making her dream come alive is through self-belief. Finally, the chorus is meant to be a triumphant declaration of self-discovery and self-love. She’s no longer going to hide from the world, but instead bask in the light of being true to herself. The final lines show that finding her voice and identity is a journey she wants to share with others.

This song screamsssss healing and redeeming your self-esteem and like

show yourself too

let me be seen and all

All the cringe compilations, the edits of the movie and the dis-knees put aside, 2000s disney was really pure, filled with dream, inspiration and just care-free vibe.

Love this ❤

I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star?
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be, yeah
This is me
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
(This is me, yeah) You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
