La la la la la lie
La la la la la lie
La la la la la lie
Tired of all this fightin'
Can't you see I'm bleedin'
That I'm barely movin'
how much can I lose?
'fore my time is through
Everybody's watchin'
everythin' im doin'
Am I just a fraud?
At least that's how I feel.
this paranoia's real
I swear
what you want
is everything I'm not
It's empty mad
the life long habit
You gotta let it go
All this waiting
turned frustration
You gotta let it go
All on me, I can't take it any longer
but I feel I'm getting stronger
All on me, I can't take it any longer
but I feel I'm getting stronger
La la la la la lie

Fame is so addictive
I'm tempted to just sit here
and count how I'm inflicted
narcissistic men
is not how I begin
I wish I could be part of,
part of something bigger,
rather than pursue the self obsessive plan
to be a modern man.
I swear,
what you want
is everything I'm not
It's empty mad
the life long habit
You gotta let it go
all this waiting
and frustraition
You gotta let it go
All on me, I can't take it any longer
but I feel I'm getting stronger
All on me, I can't take it any longer
but I feel I'm getting stronger
All on me, I can't take it any longer (It's empty mad)

Overall Meaning

The song "Stronger" by Fyfe conveys a conflicted inner monologue of someone who is feeling exhausted, paranoid and doubtful of their own capabilities. The first and second stanza allude to a sense of being watched and scrutinized, leading to a fear of being perceived as a phony. The third and fourth stanza reveal a yearning for belonging, while feeling trapped in a self-centered cycle of chasing fame and self-obsession. The chorus repeats the lyrics "All on me, I can't take it any longer, But I feel I'm getting stronger," conveying a sense of hope that through the pain, the character is growing more resilient. The lines "What you want is everything I'm not, It's empty mad, the lifelong habit" reflects the tension between the character's sense of self and the pressure to conform to notions of success.


Overall, "Stronger" encapsulates the fear, doubt, and struggles of an individual who is caught between chasing success and feeling like an imposter, while longing for a deeper sense of connection and purpose.
