You… Read Full Bio ↴I never believed that I would concede and let someone trample on me
You strung me along, I thought I was strong, but you were just gaslighting me
I’ve opened my eyes, & counted the lies, & now it is clearer to me
You are just a user, and an abuser, living vicariously
I never believed that I would concede and get myself blown asunder
You strung me along, I thought I was strong, but now you have pushed me under
I’ve opened my eyes, and counted the lies, now it is clearer to me
You are just a user, and an abuser, and I refuse to take it
Won’t stand down
I’m growing stronger
Won’t stand down
I’m owned no longer
Won’t stand down
You’ve used me for too long, now die alone
Now I’m coming back, a counterattack, I’m playing you at your own game
I’m cutting you out, a shadow of doubt
Is gonna hang over your name
I’ve opened my eyes, I see your disguise,
I will never see you the same
I know how to win, before you begin
I’ll shoot you before you take aim
Now I’m coming back, a counterattack,
A psychological war
I’m cutting you in, I’m under your skin
Now I’m gonna settle the score
I’ve opened my eyes, I see your disguise,
I will never see you the same
I know how to win, before you begin
I’ll shoot you before you take aim
Won’t stand down
I’m growing stronger
Won’t stand down
I’m owned no longer
Won’t stand down
You’ve used me for too long, now die alone
Won’t stand down
I’m growing stronger
Won’t stand down
I’m owned no longer
Won’t stand down
You’ve used me for too long, now die alone
Won't Stand Down

Muse's "Won't Stand Down" is a powerful track about standing up to abusive and manipulative people in our lives. The lyrics describe the singer's struggle to regain their power after being repeatedly gaslighted and abused by someone. They realize that the person in question is a user who has been living through them and decide to take a stand. The chorus echoes this sentiment, declaring that the singer is growing stronger and won't be owned by the abuser anymore. In the second half of the song, the singer adopts a counterattack strategy, playing the abuser at their own game, and promising to settle the score.
The song follows a classic rock structure, with a pounding beat, driving guitar riffs, and an anthemic chorus designed to inspire listeners to fight back against their oppressors. The lyrics encourage individuals to stand up for themselves, recognize their own worth, and refuse to be used or manipulated. The tone is defiant and empowering, reminding listeners that they are capable of taking control of their lives and fighting for what's right.
Overall, "Won't Stand Down" is an uplifting track that delivers a strong message of resilience and empowerment. It's a reminder that we all have the power to stand up to bullies and abusers and regain control over our lives.

I never believed that I would concede

And get myself blown asunder
You strung me along, I thought I was strong
But now you have pushed me under
I've opened my eyes and counted the lies
And now it is clearer to me
You are just a user and an abuser
And I refuse to take it
