Stronger
Lee Mead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be the one who stands here longer than the rest.
When the landscape changes, rearranges,
I'll be stronger than I've ever been.
No more stillness, no sunlight.
Everything's gonna be alright.
I know that there's gonna be a change.
If you wanna come with me,
Then that's the way it's gonna be.
All alone,
And finally
I'm getting stronger.
You'll come to see
Just what I can be.
I'm getting stronger.
Sometimes I feel so down and out,
Like emotion that's been captured in a maze.
I've had my ups and downs,
Trials and tribulations -
I overcome it day by day.
Feeling good and almost powerful.
And you and me, it's what I'm looking for.
I know that there's gonna be a change.
Let it find you a way out of your fear.
If you wanna come with me,
Then that's the way it's gonna be.
I'm all alone,
And finally
I'm getting stronger.
You'll come to see
Just what I can be.
I'm getting stronger.
I didn't know what I had to do,
I just knew I was alone.
People around me, but they didn't care.
So I searched into my soul.
I'm not the type of guy
That'll let them see me cry -
It's not my style.
I'll get by.
I'm gonna do this for me.
I'm all alone,
And finally
I'm getting stronger.
You'll come to see
Just what I can be.
I'm getting stronger.
I'm all alone,
And finally
I'm getting stronger.
You'll come to see
Just what I can be.
I'm getting stronger.

Line by Line Meaning
Hush, just stop
Be quiet and stop talking or doing anything
There's nothing you can do or say (baby)
There is no remedy or words to solve the situation
I've had enough
I have reached my limit and won't tolerate it anymore
I'm not your property as from today (baby)
I do not belong to you from today or ever
You might think that I won't make it on my own
You probably think that I'm incapable of living independently
But now I'm
However, currently in the present moment,
Stronger than yesterday
I am more powerful and self-assured than my past self
Now it's nothin' but my way
I am in complete control of my own life and decisions
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
My state of solitude is no longer detrimental to my wellbeing
I, I'm stronger
I repeat, I am stronger and can handle anything
Than I ever thought that I could be (baby)
I surpass my own expectations of self-growth and development
I used to go with the flow
In the past, I was easily influenced and went along with others' decisions
Didn't really care 'bout me
I had little regard for my own interests and needs
You might think that I can't take it
You may doubt my ability to handle tough situations
But your wrong
However, your perception is incorrect
Come on now
Encouragement to take action
Oh yeah
Confirmation of excitement or agreement
Here I go
I am starting on a new path or endeavor
On my own
I am doing this without the help or support of others
I don't need nobody
I don't require anyone's assistance or presence in my life right now
Better off alone
I am happier or more successful without a partner or company
Alright
Expressing agreement or consent
Its nothin' but my way
I am in total control of my life and decisions
I'm stronger
Reiterating that I am stronger and more capable
Now I'm stronger than yesterday
I am even more powerful than my previous higher self
I'm stronger
I am more resilient and confident now
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
Reinforcing the idea that being alone isn't negative
