I Stand Before You
Standing Fearless: Embracing Vulnerability and Resilience
Lyrics
It's no secret I've been down and out
Expressing a past experience of hardship or difficulty.
It's no secret at all
Reiterating that the previous struggles are not a secret.
I've been fightin' shadows off my back
Fighting against unseen challenges and obstacles.
To learn how to walk I must crawl
Emphasizing the need to go through difficulties to make progress.
Lies will heal all my wounds
Suggesting that falsehoods can provide comfort or solace.
No matter how deep or wrong
Regardless of how profound or incorrect, lies can ease pain.
It's no secret I've been losing touch
Acknowledging a sense of disconnection or estrangement.
It's no secret, it's no secret at all
Reiterating that the feeling of detachment is not a hidden fact.
And so here you find me
Introducing the current state of the narrator.
I stand before you and your peers
Presenting the narrator standing before others and seeking judgment.
It's no secret at all
Restating that the previous struggles are not hidden.
Judge me, but only if you dare
Challenging others to judge the narrator, inviting scrutiny.
I stand before you
Reaffirming the narrator's presence and openness to judgment.
I stand before you without a care
Standing confidently before others without concern.
There's no reason that I stand and shout
Stating the absence of a specific reason for vocalizing.
There's no reason at all
Reiterating the lack of a clear motive for actions.
I find myself in a cold, hard, world
Expressing a feeling of not fitting into the surrounding world.
I feel that I don't belong
Feeling out of place and disconnected from the environment.
Time will break all the rules
Believing that time can overcome and change established norms.
No matter how true or how strong
Time's influence is irrespective of truth or strength.
There's no reason that I cry out loud
Expressing the absence of a specific reason for crying out loud.
There's no reason, there's no reason at all
Reiterating the lack of a clear motive for emotional expression.
And so you find me here
Bringing attention to the current situation of the narrator.
I stand before you and your peers
Standing before others and facing judgment.
Judge me, but only if you dare
Challenging others to judge only if they dare.
I stand before you
Reaffirming the narrator's presence and openness to judgment.
I stand before you without a care
Standing confidently before others without concern.
And so you find me, stand here beside me
Describing a situation where others stand beside the narrator.
Don't dare deny me, I'm not the mighty
Asserting that others should not deny the narrator.
Its no secret, it's no secret at all
Reiterating that the struggles are not a hidden fact.
I've been fighting, I've been learning to crawl
Indicating a history of fighting and learning to overcome obstacles.
Lies, will heal all wounds
Emphasizing the healing power of lies, regardless of their nature.
No matter how deep or wrong
Regardless of the depth or correctness, lies can heal.
It's no secret I've been losing touch
Admitting to a sense of losing connection with others.
Its no secret, it's no secret at all
Reiterating that the feeling of detachment is not hidden.
It's no secret at all
Confirming that the sense of detachment is openly acknowledged.
And so you find me here
Bringing attention to the current situation of the narrator.
I stand before you and your peers
Standing before others and facing judgment.
Judge me, but only if you dare
Challenging others to judge, while the narrator seeks no mercy.
I ask no mercy not a tear
Expressing a lack of desire for pity or compassion.
And so you'll find me without a care
Emphasizing the narrator's lack of concern in the judgment.
There is no darkness that I fear
Declaring a fearless attitude towards darkness or challenges.
I stand before you
Reaffirming the narrator's presence and openness to judgment.
I stand before you
Standing confidently before others without concern.
