Survivor
L.E.J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you
But I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you
But I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without you
I laugh harder
Now I'm wiser
Though that I'd be helpless without you
But I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold 9 million
I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
Thought I couldn't breathe without
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without you
But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now
But it won't stop
Thought that I would self destruct
But I'm still here
Even in my years to come
I'm still gon be here
I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
After of all of the darkness and sadness
Soon comes happiness
If I surround my self with positive things
I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive

The lyrics to L.E.J.'s song "Survivor" are about empowerment and one's ability to overcome adversity. It is written as a direct address to a former partner who once thought that the singer's life would fall apart without their presence. However, as the lyrics suggest, the singer flourishes without their ex. The repeated line "I'm a survivor" serves as a mantra to the singer, fueling their ambition and determination to thrive independently. The verse speaks to various ways in which the singer has grown and developed since the end of their relationship, claiming that their ex believed they wouldn't achieve success or meaning without them. The singer counters these presumptions and takes pride in their independence.
The chorus of the song further emphasizes the importance of perseverance and determination. The repetition of the line "I'm not gon' give up, I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder" reinforces the singer's sense of resilience and willpower. They believe that they are capable of not only surviving but also thriving despite any obstacles that they may face. The final verse of the song speaks to the importance of positivity and surrounding oneself with good energy. It suggests that happiness is not only possible but inevitable if one makes a deliberate effort to cultivate a positive environment.
