Invincible
Hedley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Took a long hard look at my life
Lost my way while I was fighting the time
A big black cloud, stormy sky
Followed me, oh I was living a lie
So heartless, so selfish, so in darkness
When all your nights are starless
You're running outta hope
But I found the strength inside to see
Found the better part of me
And I'll never let it go

I've come a long, long way
Made a lot of mistakes
But I'm breathin', breathin'
That's right and I mean it, mean it
This time I'm a little run down
I've been living out loud
I could beat it, beat it
That's right, cause I'm feelin', feelin'
Invincible
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh-whoa

When you're gone for a day (Gone for a day)
On your own [On your own]
Tear your heart out just to find your way home
I've been so high [Been so high]
I've sunk so low [Sunk so low]
I've come so far, with nothing to show for it
Mistaken, I got so good at taking
But now I'm tired of faking
This story's getting old
So I found the strength inside to see
From the better part of me
And I'll never let it go

I've come a long, long way
Made a lot of mistakes
But I'm breathin', breathin'
That's right and I mean it, mean it
This time I'm a little run down
I've been living out loud
I could beat it, beat it
That's right, 'cause I'm feelin', feelin'
Invincible
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh-whoa
Invincible

I'm not the only one
That crashed into the sun
And lived to fight another day
Like a super nova
That old life is over [Is over, is over]
I'm here to stay
Now I'm gonna be
Invincible
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh-whoa
Invincible
(Invincible)

I've come a long, long way
Made a lot of mistakes
But I'm breathin', breathin' [I'm breathing]
That's right and I mean it, mean it [Mean it]
This time I'm a little run down [I'm a little run down]
I've been living out loud [Living out loud]
I could beat it, beat it
That's right 'cause I'm feelin', feelin'
Invincible
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh-whoa
Invincible
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh




Oh-whoa

Line by Line Meaning

Took a long hard look at my life
I reflected deeply on my life


Lost my way while I was fighting the time
I went astray while trying to keep up with time


A big black cloud, stormy sky
My life was plagued with difficulties and challenges


Followed me, oh I was living a lie
I was living a dishonest life


So heartless, so selfish, so in darkness
I was lacking compassion, being self-centered and was plunged in darkness


When all your nights are starless
When life is tough and devoid of hope


You're running outta hope
Hope is running out


But I found the strength inside to see
I discovered inner strength to face life


Found the better part of me
I discovered my better self


And I'll never let it go
I'll hold on to it forever


Made a lot of mistakes
I made many errors


That's right and I mean it, mean it
I'm sure and sincere


This time I'm a little run down
Currently, I'm a bit exhausted


I've been living out loud
I've been living my life without fear of judgment


That's right, 'cause I'm feelin', feelin'
That's because I'm feeling confident and strong


When you're gone for a day (Gone for a day)
When you're away for just one day


On your own [On your own]
Being self-reliant


Tear your heart out just to find your way home
To make your way back home, it may require to make a lot of sacrifices


I've sunk so low [Sunk so low]
I've hit rock bottom


I've come so far, with nothing to show for it
I've made progress, but there's no tangible achievement yet


Mistaken, I got so good at taking
I did wrong so much that it seemed like the right thing to do


But now I'm tired of faking
I'm exhausted from pretending


This story's getting old
This lifestyle is tiring


I'm not the only one
Others have been in similar situations


That crashed into the sun
That made mistakes and had to pay for them


And lived to fight another day
But they still have the courage to keep moving forward


Like a super nova
Like a star exploding and shining brightly


That old life is over
That old lifestyle is now behind me


I'm here to stay
I'm here to last


Now I'm gonna be
Now I'm determined to become


Invincible
Unbeatable and unstoppable

For all of you who are out there struggling with life, please know you are never alone. and life gets so much better.
As I type this on the bus going home with my almost 3 year old daughter, I couldn't ask for more. She is my entire world, and I am so blessed that even though I struggled, I am still here.

I was bullied all throughout grade school and high school, to the point where I had to switch schools afew times.
I kept strong, even though I suffered from severe depression (and still do) but I kept on going.

Songs like this helped alot.
And I couldn't be more thankful that I am still here today.

Life gets so much better. just hold on! <3

This kind of song is the kind that we deeply need somenight alone in our bedroom. This kind of song just make us feel better for when we feel like it's us against the world. This is like a warm hug. If youre reading this,I feel you. We all do.

Missing this kind of music. It's so pure, it's so clean, it helps people who's struggling in life. I'm sad that in today's society, most of the trending music are focused on sex, drugs, violence, etc.
