STRONGER
Holly Drummond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The gates are open and the truth is flooding out
Time after time you said
I made you feel something new
Lie after lie you told
You made me believe in you
All this time we've been searching
Someone to make us stronger
Scared of being alone
We fake our love
But without you I am stronger
I don't want to save us now
I'm letting go of the weight that pulls me down
Time after time I said
You made me feel something new
Lie after lie I told
I made you believe in me too
The lyrics to Holly Drummond's song "Stronger" are about the aftermath of a failed relationship. It speaks to the idea that no one can save a failing relationship once the truth comes out. The truth can be crushing and the gates that were once closed have now opened, leaving both partners vulnerable. The truth causes a flood of emotions and feelings that can be overwhelming, and the song describes how both partners were deceptive in their relationship, telling lies and trying to make the other person feel something that was not true. The chorus speaks to how each partner was afraid of being alone and how they often "faked" their love for each other. However, the song's protagonist realizes that without the other person, they are stronger.
The song speaks to the idea that sometimes relationships fail, and it can be painful, but it's essential to let go of that weight that pulls them down. It's a theme that is relatable to many people who have experienced heartbreak and have had to come to terms with the end of a relationship. The song's message is that even when a relationship ends, one can become stronger because of the experience.
