Stand Up
Superchick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Destroyin' my dreams
Hauntin' to myself
What regret keeps hunting
But can I change my ways
Of counting the days
That keep on fadin' away
I keep losing today
And the hourglass falls
Will I have more than regret to show for it all
Or will I wake up and start living my dreams
Instead of lettin' this nightmare take control of me
Live today through the future's lens
Don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again
Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you,you happen to life
Stand up, do somthing with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
You're bored, gotta wonder if there's more
Waiting for the dream life you thought you had in store.
Trying to feel something you can chase a life that's thrilla
Living on the edge smoking drinking dream killas.
Couldabeen shouldabeen woulda been..
what might your life have been
Today you're not a has-been, but at your life's end
will you have regrets than, have regrets than?
Are you ok with today if tomorrow is the end
Live today through the future's lens
Don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again
Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Stand up, do somthing with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
We're all scared, gotta wonder whats out there,
Shooting down the ones who did what we wish we dared
Everybody's scared to Karaoke in the open
Afraid we're not as special as what we might be hoping so we're frozen haven't chosen
just going through the motions
Faith and belief, courage overrule emotions
Stand up and be counted for something when it's time
Decide where you stand, take your hands raise em high
Live today through the futures lens
Don't wanna wish you could reset and play it again
Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you,you happen to life
Stand up, do somthing with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Superchick's song "Stand Up" encourages listeners to take control of their lives and make the most out of each day. The first verse describes the feeling of being trapped in a nightmare and regretting past decisions. The lyrics ask if it's possible to change our ways and start living our dreams instead of letting our fears control us. The song encourages listeners to view their lives from a future perspective and make the most out of each day, rather than regretting past mistakes.
The chorus tells listeners to "Stand Up" and write the soundtrack for their lives. The song suggests that life doesn't happen to us; we happen to life. The second verse encourages listeners to not settle for a life of boredom and to chase their dreams. The song suggests that living on the edge with drugs and alcohol only kills our dreams.
The final verse suggests that everyone is scared to take risks and be vulnerable, but we must have faith and courage to stand up and make a difference. The song ends with a call to action to not simply go through the motions of life but to take a stand and make a difference.
Line by Line Meaning
Livin' in this nightmare
Feeling stuck in a bad situation
Destroyin' my dreams
Making it hard to achieve goals
Hauntin' to myself
Feeling haunted by regret
What regret keeps hunting
Continuing to feel regretful about past mistakes
But can I change my ways
Wondering if it's possible to change
Of counting the days
Feeling like time is slipping away
That keep on fadin' away
Days are passing by quickly
I keep losing today
Feeling like not doing anything worthwhile
Whan it's gone
When time is gone
And the hourglass falls
Symbolizing time running out
Will I have more than regret to show for it all
Not wanting to have just regrets in the end
Or will I wake up and start living my dreams
Wanting to make changes and live the life you want
Instead of lettin' this nightmare take control of me
Not wanting to be defeated by a bad situation
Live today through the future's lens
Thinking about the future when living in the present
Don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again
Not wanting to regret missed opportunities
Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
Take control of your life and make it what you want
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Don't wait for things to happen, make them happen
You're bored, gotta wonder if there's more
Feeling like life is dull and life is not fulfilling
Waiting for the dream life you thought you had in store.
Disappointed life did not go as planned
Trying to feel something you can chase a life that's thrilla
Searching for something exciting but not finding it
Living on the edge smoking drinking dream killas.
Taking risks and potentially losing dreams
Couldabeen shouldabeen woulda been..
Regretting missed opportunities
what might your life have been
Wondering about missed opportunities
Today you're not a has-been, but at your life's end
Life is still ongoing but it won't last forever
will you have regrets than, have regrets than?
Trying to avoid regrets in the end
Are you ok with today if tomorrow is the end
Being satisfied with the present knowing the future is uncertain
We're all scared, gotta wonder whats out there,
Feeling fear and uncertainty about the future
Shooting down the ones who did what we wish we dared
Feeling envious of others who took risks
Everybody's scared to Karaoke in the open
Being afraid of vulnerability and embarrassment
Afraid we're not as special as what we might be hoping so we're frozen haven't chosen
Feeling unsure about your own abilities and therefore unable to make a decision
Faith and belief, courage overrule emotions
Believing in oneself and having the courage to make tough decisions
Stand up and be counted for something when it's time
Having the courage to take a stand when it's necessary
Decide where you stand, take your hands raise em high
Making a decision and committing to it
Don't wanna wish you could reset and play it again
Avoiding the need to redo something
Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
Making your own decisions and living a life of your own making
It doesn't happen to you,you happen to life
Taking control of your life and your decisions
