"The straightforwardness of a riff guitar combined with the playfulness of a solo guitar, the mystic of a rock organ, a melodious and at the same time groovy bass line, and drums that don’t grow stiff in general monotony unlike most mainstream trends. Interrogative lyrics that don’t go down in vague terms, led by vocals charged with emotions... simply rock music, man!"

Here I Stand
Saint Lu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Circling in a corner of my head
My mouth is sealed,
My eyes are wide with words I never said
People surrounding me
I'm shrinking back and hoping they won't see me
But suddenly I feel I can
Here I stand
What are you saying?
I'm saying I believe
Here I stand
Your knees are shaking
But my soul is holding me
Don't you feel the fear inside?
I feel that when I fight it I'm alive
So here I stand
I'm so afraid
But I won't let this steal my energy
Won't run away
I'll use it as a force to strengthen me
I am a fool, I know
I'm falling apart and I am hoping it won't show
But deep inside I feel I can
Here I stand
What are you saying?
I'm saying I believe
Here I stand
Your knees are shaking
But my soul is holding me
Don't you feel the fear inside?
I feel that when I fight it I'm alive
So here I stand
Instrumental
Here I stand
And I am saying
I'm saying I believe
Here I stand
My knees are shaking
But my soul is holding me
I don't fear the fear inside
I feel that when I fight it I'm alive
So here I stand
The song "Here I Stand" by Saint Lu conveys a message of determination and resilience. The first verse paints a picture of the singer's inner struggles - how she has remained silent and restrained due to the fear of being judged by others. However, in the chorus, the singer boldly proclaims her belief and conviction, declaring her unwavering determination to stand firm even when her knees are shaking with fear. She acknowledges her flaws and weaknesses, but she's determined not to let them hold her down. The song communicates a powerful message of inner strength and the courage to face one's fears and challenges.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's battle against fear. She admits that she's afraid, but she chooses not to let it sap her energy or run away from it. Instead, she uses it to strengthen herself and draws the courage to fight back. This verse suggests that sometimes the fear inside us can be a necessary tool to push ourselves to the limit and achieve greatness. The instrumental section of the song is a perfect reflection of the strength and power that one can derive from their inner struggles, culminating in the final chorus, where the singer reiterates her unwavering faith and resilience.

She's truly amazing. I wouldn't go as fat as to say the best. I think Asaf Avidan is giving her a tough competition. Especially with his title "Her Lies". (look it up, you won't believe your ears)
