I'm still here
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want
And what
Do you think you'd understand
I'm boy, no, I'm a man
You can't take me
And throw me away
And how
Can you learn what's never shown
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here
[Chorus]
And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted - I could be
Now you know me
And I'm not afraid
And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am
[Chorus]
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here
They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin' while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe
[Chorus]
And how can you say I'll never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here
I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here.
The song "I'm Still Here" from Disney's Treasure Planet is an introspective ballad that reflects on the pressure from society to conform to certain norms and expectations. The lyrics are from the perspective of a person who feels misunderstood, a "question to the world" rather than an answer to be heard. The song starts by stating the persona's desire to be recognized and accepted for who they really are, rather than being forced to fit into a mold that doesn't fit them. The phrase "And what do you think you'd ever say; I won't listen anyway" suggests that despite nonsensical advice from others, the persona knows themselves best.
The chorus highlights the persona's yearning to belong to someone or something while being true to themselves. They call for a moment to be real and to touch things they don't feel. The persona even wonders how the world desires change from them when they're the ones who refuse to change. The persona desires to be seen and accepted for who they truly are rather than who others want them to be.
Finally, the last part of the song seems to express a sense of defiance and liberation. The persona acknowledges the lies and whispers of the world that have strayed their path, but they are still standing and true to who they are. The lines "I'm the one now, 'cause I'm still here" and "I'm still here" reflect a sense of pride and defiance, stating that despite the challenges, they remain true to themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
I am a question to the world
I am an enigma, a mystery to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Not a solution or response that can be heard openly
Or a moment that's held in your arms
Or a fleeting, ephemeral experience that can be grasped and embraced
And what do you think you'd ever say
What words do you think you could say?
I won't listen anyway
I wouldn't pay attention to them anyway
You don't know me
You don't understand who I am
And I'll never be what you want Me to be
I could never be what you envision or demand me to be
And what Do you think you'd understand
What do you think you could comprehend?
I'm boy, no, I'm a man
I might appear juvenile, nevertheless, I am grown-up
You can't take me And throw me away
You can't easily discard or dismiss me
And how Can you learn what's never shown
How can you learn about something that has never been revealed?
Yeah, you stand here on your own
You remain isolated and helpless
They don't know me
They lack awareness of who I am
'Cause I'm not here
I am beyond what is visible or noticeable
And I want a moment to be real
I yearn for a real moment to be true
Want to touch things I don't feel
Want to feel things that are beyond the physical realm
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
Wish to belong and feel accepted
And how can the world want me to change
How can the world demand that I change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They are the ones that remain unaltered
They don't know me
They don't understand my essence
'Cause I'm not here
I am beyond what is visible or noticeable
And you see the things they never see
You see what they are incapable of seeing.
All you wanted - I could be
I could fulfill all your desires and wishes.
Now you know me
You have come to know me deeply.
And I'm not afraid
I am not scared in the least.
And I want to tell you who I am
I want to express my true essence to you
Can you help me be a man
Could you assist me in becoming a man?
They can't break me
They are incapable of destroying me
As long as I know who I am
As long as I have self-awareness
And how can the world want me to change
Why should the world demand that I alter?
They're the ones that stay the same
They are the ones who persist in remaining unchanged
They can't see me
They are incapable of seeing who I truly am
But I'm still here
I continue to exist and persist
They can't tell me who to be
They lack the right to dictate who I should be
'Cause I'm not what they see
I do not fit their preconceive notion or imagined reality
Yeah, the world is still sleepin' while I keep on dreaming for me
The world remains unaware while I continue to dream of opportunities
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe
Their words are inconsequential, and I shall never give them credence.
And how can you say I'll never change
Why must you express your doubts about my capacity to transform?
They're the ones that stay the same
They are the ones who resist change or growth
I'm the one now
I am the decider of my fate now
'Cause I'm still here
I persist in existence despite the adversities
I'm the one
I am the master of my fate
'Cause I'm still here
I continue to exist and persevere
I'm still here
I still exist and continue despite the obstacles or setbacks

@rasmusnielsen5163
This movie is so amazing. It features so many obstacles that i feel anyone can relate to atleast a few of them:
Growing up without a father.
Feeling like you dont belong.
Struggling to fit in.
Raising a kid alone.
The struggle between kid and parent.
The list is long and this movie deserves so much more praise than it has gotten. Incredible movie, would´ve loved a sequel.
@deborasc3511
I think one of the most heartbreaking lines is: "wanna old on and feel I belong"
And the verse that makes me cry every time is
"They can't see me but I'm still here
They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin'
While I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers
And lies that I'll never believe"
@jacobbarney2924
Just because it didn't make billions of dollars, and "failed" in Disney's eyes doesn't mean it was a bad movie. It was great!
@shadowx8145
I mean it's on Disney+ so disney still cares for it
@haakontherayquaza4046
how could they possibly think this movie failed??? i have known countless people that remember watching this movie during their childhood and they all think it's a great movie.
@jacksongibbs8998
As far as the execs at Disney are concerned, the only way to spell ‘success’ is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
@thepurple-bear8317
It probably didn’t sell enough toys for them, if Disney can’t milk something for merchandise they don’t care
@loggas6199
its the best disney movie
@AkimboJV
There aren’t enough stories for boys and young men without fathers out there. This movie invokes more emotion in me than 99% of Disney movies.
@pancakepop680
Not every story can be personal to every person.
@edophoneix1340
Now we get movies about periods
@papyrusn1fangirl
@@edophoneix1340 oh no! the poor guy feels offended because they wanted to explore a movie about something that affects 50% or more of the population? not everything can be treasure planet. a movie about periods can be good, especially because they never teach children about that and when they have it they are scared shitless
