Here I Stand
In Whispers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And maybe I will compromise
I′m tired of life always taking a shit on the things
That I am after
Don't let it phase you
Don′t let it phase you
Don't let it phase you
Don't let it phase you
Here I stand
And I won′t fall down
Mercy me
With both my feet on the ground
Shame on me
Forever holding you down
Here I stand
And I won′t fall down
Nevermind
I'm not the person you once knew
I′ve got the attitude of an asshole and,
I'm just like you
Don′t let it phase you
Don't let it phase you
Don′t let it phase you
Don't let it phase you
Here I stand
And I won't fall down
Mercy me
With both my feet on the ground
Shame on me
Forever holding you down
Here I stand
And I won′t fall down
Here I stand
And I won′t fall down
Mercy me
With both my feet on the ground
Shame on me
Forever holding you down
Here I stand
And I won't fall down
Here I stand
Here I stand
Here I stand
Here I Stand and I won′t fall down
The lyrics of "Here I Stand" by In Whispers seem to be a declaration of strength and resolve in the face of adversity. The opening lines express frustration with life and its tendency to obstruct one's goals. However, the singer is willing to compromise and work towards a solution. They encourage themselves and others not to be deterred by setbacks.
The chorus is a repeated statement of the singer's determination to stay strong and not succumb to external pressures. "Mercy me" could be interpreted as a plea for understanding or forgiveness, while "Shame on me" suggests a recognition of past mistakes that the singer is determined not to repeat. The final line, "Here I stand and I won′t fall down," reinforces the message of resilience and determination.
The second verse acknowledges that the singer is flawed and imperfect, just like everyone else. The phrase "attitude of an asshole" could be seen as self-deprecating or as a criticism of a culture that values aggressive behavior. However, the singer refuses to let their flaws define them, instead choosing to focus on their strength and ability to stand tall.
Overall, "Here I Stand" is a message of empowerment and self-affirmation. It encourages listeners to confront their problems head-on, acknowledge their imperfections, and remain steadfast in the face of adversity.
