Stand Up
Flapjack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hides deep in our souls,
But if it makes us equal,
Now come we're not
equal at all?
What makes us equal
hides deep in our
minds,
Now come we're not
equal at all?
God bless your manicure
When my sister's starving
God bless your brand new
15th car,
golden rings and silver spoons,
Satisfy your apetite huh huh?...
Your gonna turn into dust
When your time is coming
I hope you'll die like
professional
In your pink bedroom
Flowers on your grave now
... and onion tears
The lyrics of Flapjack's "Stand Up" explore the theme of inequality and how it is rooted in things beyond superficial differences. The singer questions what truly makes people equal, suggesting that it may be something hidden within their souls or minds. Despite this, the reality we see around us is far from equal. The rich have access to luxuries like fancy cars, jewelry, and expensive food, while others struggle to meet basic needs like food and shelter. The singer acknowledges this reality but also recognizes its fleeting nature - all these possessions will eventually turn to dust, and the end of life is inevitable. The final line of the song mentions "onion tears", a metaphor for the insincere grief that people sometimes show when someone dies, perhaps suggesting that those who live in luxury but ignore the suffering of others may not have anyone mourning them genuinely when they pass.
Overall, "Stand Up" is a criticism of the societal structures that allow for inequality based on wealth and privilege. It also calls on individuals to stand up for what is right and speak out against injustice. The focus on the transience of material possessions and the inevitability of death suggests that the singer believes a more meaningful existence can be found by valuing things beyond mere wealth and status.

It's weirdly wholesome that, although people of Stormalong aren't the nicest, they found no humor in watching a small boy be verbally assaulted into unconsciousness by an adult.

The only reason Punsie thinks he’s hot shit is because he utilizes prop comedy to tell his puns. If not for his props, he’d be mid.
