Stand Out
Jessie Daniels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking back at me
Somehow You've replaced yourself
And don't like what You see
You've been asleep for far too long
To what other people think
So You bend and You break
What once was beautiful
I want to
Stand out
I wanna stand tall, I wanna be myself
Even it means, I won't fit in at all
I wanna be real, I wanna be me
'Cause everything I am is who I'm meant to be
I was meant to be free
Why are we so quick to hide originality?
We try and try to fit inside a false reality
We're all the same when it comes to putting on the face
And it's such a shame, oh it's such a waste
'Cause what makes us beautiful
Is what make us
Stand out
I wanna stand tall, I wanna be myself
Even if it means, I won't fit in at all
I wanna be real, I wanna be me
'Cause everything I am is who I'm meant to be
I was meant to be free
We are, we are beautiful
We are, we are beautiful
We are, we are beautiful
We are, we are beautiful
What makes us beautiful
Is what makes us
Stand out
I wanna stand tall, I wanna be myself
Even if it means, I won't fit in at all
I wanna be real, I wanna be me
'Cause everything I am is who I'm meant to be
I was meant to be free
We are, we are beautiful
We are, we are beautiful
We are, we are beautiful
We are, we are beautiful
We are

Line by Line Meaning
I'm staring in the mirror
Looking at oneself in the mirror
Looking back at me
Reflecting on one's own image
Somehow You've replaced yourself
Feeling disconnected from one's true self
And don't like what You see
Displeased with the image reflected in the mirror
You've been asleep for far too long
Unaware of one's true potential
To what other people think
Overly concerned with the opinions of others
So You bend and You break
Compromising one's own values and beliefs
And You lose along the way
Suffering consequences for not staying true to oneself
What once was beautiful
The beauty that was once there
I want to
Desire to do something
Stand out
To be unique and different from others
I wanna stand tall, I wanna be myself
To be confident and authentic
Even it means, I won't fit in at all
Not conforming to societal norms
I wanna be real, I wanna be me
Being genuine and true to oneself
'Cause everything I am is who I'm meant to be
Believing that one's true self is their purpose
I was meant to be free
The desire to be free from societal expectations
Why are we so quick to hide originality?
Questioning why people suppress their unique qualities
We try and try to fit inside a false reality
Attempting to conform to societal norms that do not align with one's true self
We're all the same when it comes to putting on the face
Everyone wears a mask to conform to societal expectations
And it's such a shame, oh it's such a waste
Regret for not being true to oneself
What makes us beautiful
The qualities that make one unique and special
Is what make us
The defining characteristics of oneself
We are, we are beautiful
Everyone possesses unique qualities that make them beautiful
We are
Confirmation of one's identity and existence
