This Is Me
Demi Lovato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time 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
And 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, yeah

Yeah

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, yeah

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singin'
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, yeah
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me, yeah

This is 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

Overall Meaning

The song "This Is Me" by Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas is about overcoming self-doubt and insecurities to find inner strength and acceptance of oneself. The first verse describes a character who has always been afraid to express herself, who has kept inside her dreams and desires. She acknowledges that it's time to let the world know who she really is, and that she won't hide any longer. The chorus repeats the central message of the song: that the woman singing has found her true self and won't hide it anymore. She's exactly where she's supposed to be, and she's going to let her light shine.


The second verse describes the feeling of being in the dark, and how it can be difficult to believe in oneself when one's goals seem too far away. But she knows that believing in herself is the only way to make her dreams come true. The bridge then addresses a missing piece, with the woman singing that she needs to find the person who is the voice in her head, the reason for her singing, and who is the missing piece that will complete her song.


Overall, the song is a message of self-acceptance and strength. It encourages listeners to be true to themselves, to believe in their dreams, and to let their light shine.


Line by Line Meaning

I've always been the kind of girl
I have always been the person who


That hid my face
that has been shy and tried to go unnoticed


So afraid to tell the world
I was always fearful to reveal myself to others


What I've got to say
what I really wanted to express


But I had this dream
However, there was a vision in me


Right inside of me
deeply rooted inside me


I'm going to let it show
I am going to allow it to be seen by all


It's time
the right moment has come


To let you know
to reveal to everyone


This is the real, this is me
I am done pretending, this is the true me


I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
I have found my place in the world


Gonna let the light
I am going to let my talents shine


Shine on me
and show the world what I am capable of


Now I found
I have discovered


Who I am
my true identity


There's no way to hold it in
I cannot suppress it any longer


No more hiding who I want to be
I am done concealing my desires and goals


Do you know what it's like to feel so in the dark
Have you ever experienced feeling lost and helpless


To dream about a life where you're the shining star
and wishing for a life where you are successful and admired


Even though it seems
Despite appearing


Like it's too far away
unreachable and too difficult to obtain


I have to believe in myself
I must have faith and trust in my abilities


It's the only way
because it is the only path to achieve my dreams


You're the voice I hear inside my head
I hear your words and encouragement in my mind


The reason that I'm singing
it’s why I am able to sing with hope and joy


I need to find you
I have to find you


I gotta find you
because I must ascertain my true identity


You're the missing piece I need
you are the final element I require for fulfillment


The song inside of me
my potential to create and pursue my dreams


Now I found who I am
I have truly discovered my identity


This is me
Now, I am at peace with myself
