I'm Still Standing
Elton John(엘튼 존) Lyrics

You could never know what it's like
The singer acknowledges that the listener may not fully understand the pain he has endured.

Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
The person being addressed is cold and unfeeling, as if their blood is frozen.

And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
The singer sees a darkness in the person that makes them lonely and unapproachable.

You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
The person is using a facade to hide their true emotions, which the singer believes will ultimately lead to their own destruction.

And did you think this fool could never win
The singer is addressing the person being addressed, who likely didn't believe that the singer could overcome their pain.

Well look at me, I'm coming back again
The singer is triumphant, having overcome the challenges that the person being addressed said they could not.

I got a taste of love in a simple way
The singer has found a way to be happy without needing extravagance or excess.

And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
The person being addressed is not significant to the singer's success, and as such, will fade into the background as the singer continues to thrive.

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
The singer emphasizes that despite everything they've gone through, they are still strong and resilient.

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
Though the singer has been through tough times, they still exude a youthful spirit and sense of vitality.

I'm still standing after all this time
The singer has persevered and remained strong despite challenges and obstacles over an extended period of time.

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
The singer has moved on from the person being addressed and is able to put the pieces of their life back together without them.

Once I never could hope to win
The singer reflects on a time when they felt helpless and unable to overcome their challenges.

You starting down the road leaving me again
The person being addressed has left the singer before and is now repeating their actions.

The threats you made were meant to cut me down
The person being addressed has used threats to try and tear down the singer emotionally.

And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
If their love were a spectacle, the person being addressed would be the butt of the joke, having failed to control the situation.

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
The singer repeats the chorus and emphasizes their resilience and triumph.

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
The singer repeats the chorus and emphasizes their resilience and triumph.

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
The singer emphasizes that they are doing better now than they ever have before.

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
Despite hardships, the singer exudes a youthful spirit and a sense of accomplishment.

I'm still standing after all this time
The singer has persevered and remained strong despite the passage of time and the difficulties they've faced.

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
The singer has moved on from the person being addressed and is able to rebuild their life without their influence or control.

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
The singer reiterates their strength and resilience.

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
The singer reiterates their strength and resilience.

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
The singer reiterates their strength and resilience.
