Standing Ovation
Such A Surge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it a dream or is it real
Your blood is runnig through your vains
Just one thought going through your brain
Right making you feel good
You're standing there and you're mute
Everything is gone
Till you start a new song
(REFRAIN)
Standing ovation
Now it's quiet and you go on
You go and start a new song
You go wild and you show feelings
But do they really know the meaning
Everytime you're singing
Another heart is bleeding
Every night the same game
But you need the fame
And after this one you wait
The lyrics of Such A Surge's song Standing Ovation are a vivid portrayal of how a musician feels on stage, basking in the spotlight of adoration and the thrill of making people feel good. The singer is urging the listener to imagine how they would feel in such a situation, whether it is real or just a dream. The rush of blood through the veins is palpable, fuelled by the overwhelming emotion of being in front of a crowd that is eagerly waiting for the next song. The artist emphasizes the power of music in making a person feel good, bringing the focus back to the one thought going through one's brain - the right note that can make or break a performance.
The lyrics of this song also delve into the craft of making music, with the artist emphasizing that the music takes everything away and creates a void where nothing else matters, distracting the singer from the world outside. The singer then waits for the applause, and as the ovation starts, the feeling of validation that comes from being appreciated is immense. The final verse delves deep, exploring the dichotomy of being a musician, where the need for fame is essential to keep the game going, but underneath the surface, there is a sense of emptiness as the singer reveals that every time the performance ends, another heart is bleeding.
Line by Line Meaning
Imagine how you gonna feel
Picture the feeling that will overtake you
Is it a dream or is it real
Wonder if it's all an illusion or actually happening
Your blood is runnig through your vains
Your blood is pumping fast through your body
Just one thought going through your brain
One recurring thought dominates your mind
Right making you feel good
It's the right feeling, making you happy and uplifted
You're standing there and you're mute
You're speechless, standing still in awe
Everything is gone
All other thoughts have vanished
Till you start a new song
Until you begin singing again
And after this one you wait
You anticipate the reaction after each song
Standing ovation
The audience stands up and applauds
Now it's quiet and you go on
The applause has ceased and you continue to perform
You go and start a new song
You begin singing a fresh tune
You go wild and you show feelings
You let go and express intense emotions
But do they really know the meaning
Does the audience truly comprehend the message?
Everytime you're singing
Each time you sing
Another heart is bleeding
Someone else's heart aches while listening
Every night the same game
Performing is a repetitive routine
But you need the fame
You crave the recognition and success
And after this one you wait
You eagerly anticipate the reaction after each song
