Stand On Your Feet
The Audition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is helping me forget everything you said
Ask yourself what's left when
Your heart goes dead
'Cause my love has fled without sentiment
Stand on your feet now
Your willingness to be ignorant
I detached my heart from you long ago
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me, I'm no saint, you see
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
Not for you
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me, I'm no saint
You'll see
If I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
Fall for you
You've been exposed and I hope you know
What we had was gold, now tarnished and old
You reap what you sow and this case is closed
You can walk alone 'cause I felt
That way so long ago
Stand on your feet now
Your willingness to be ignorant
Is what's wearing me down
I detached my heart from you long ago
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me, I'm no saint, you see
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
Not for you
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me, I'm no saint, you see
If I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
Fall for you
Stand on your feet now
Your willingness to be ignorant
Is what's wearing me down
I detached my heart
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me, I'm no saint, you see
If I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me, I'm no saint, you see
If I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me, I'm no saint, you see
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
The lyrics of The Audition's song "Stand On Your Feet" depict a bitter and resentful mindset after a failed relationship. The singer is experiencing the aftermath of a breakup and is finding solace in the physical remnants of their past love, symbolized by the scent left in their bed. This scent serves as a reminder of the painful memories and hurtful things that were said during the relationship. It becomes a catalyst for the singer to detach themselves emotionally from their former partner and move on.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Stand on your feet now," which can be interpreted as a call for the ex-partner to take responsibility for their actions. The singer feels worn down by the ex-partner's ignorance and refusal to acknowledge their wrongdoings. This unwillingness to face the truth and their own mistakes is what caused the detachment of the singer's heart from the relationship long ago.
The lyrics express a deep reluctance to fall in love again, suggesting that the singer has been deeply hurt and has lost faith in the idea of love. They emphasize that they are not a perfect person ("I'm no saint, you see") and have learned from their past experiences. They candidly state that if they were to fall in love again, it is highly unlikely that it would be with this particular person, indicating the irreparable damage done to their trust and connection.
The final repetition of "I don't ever wanna fall in love again" reaffirms the singer's steadfast resolution to avoid love. The bitterness and resentment towards the failed relationship are palpable throughout the lyrics, portraying a person who has been deeply wounded and is determined to protect themselves from further pain.
Line by Line Meaning
This scent you left, oh, in my bed
The lingering remnants of your presence serve as a reminder of what we had
Is helping me forget everything you said
The memory of your words is fading away, aiding in my detachment from you
Ask yourself what's left when
Invite introspection to contemplate the emptiness that remains when
Your heart goes dead
Your emotions towards me become lifeless and devoid of any warmth
'Cause my love has fled without sentiment
Because my affection for you has departed without sentimentality or attachment
Stand on your feet now
Gather your strength and face the consequences of your actions
Your willingness to be ignorant
Your readiness to remain ignorant and avoid facing the truth
Is what's wearing me down
It is your ignorance that exhausts me and causes distress
I detached my heart from you long ago
I severed the emotional connection between us a while back
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
I have no desire to experience the vulnerabilities and pain of love once more
Don't wait for me, I'm no saint, you see
Do not expect me to change or be a perfect person, as I am flawed
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
However, even if I do happen to fall in love again, it is unlikely that it will be with you
You've been exposed and I hope you know
Your true nature has been revealed, and I hope you are aware of it
What we had was gold, now tarnished and old
Our once precious relationship has now become tainted and aged
You reap what you sow and this case is closed
You are facing the consequences of your actions, and this matter is now concluded
You can walk alone 'cause I felt
You are free to go on your own because I already
That way so long ago
Detached myself emotionally from you a long time ago
