Measure Up
Measure Up: Embrace Individuality, Defy Expectations
Lyrics
Is it you or me, are we supposed to be
Contemplating the identity and compatibility between the speaker and another person.
Friends or enemies, doesn't matter what they want us to be
Expressing indifference to societal expectations regarding the nature of the relationship.
Stuck up in my neck, chocking me to death
Feeling constrained or overwhelmed, possibly by external pressures.
I'll spit you out instead, of letting you tell me what to be
Rejecting external influence and asserting independence in defining oneself.
Trying to cut you out, 'cos you're killing me
Attempting to distance from the other person due to perceived harm or toxicity.
There ain't nothing left, It's you or me and nothing in-between
Emphasizing a clear dichotomy between the speaker and the other person with no middle ground.
I ain't giving up, I'm ain't backing down
Declaring determination and resilience in the face of challenges or conflicts.
Doesn't matter if it's right or if it's wrong, It's black or white
Indicating a disregard for moral judgments, emphasizing a stark contrast.
You be you and I'll be me
Advocating for individuality, encouraging the other person to be authentic.
We're all one, we're not enemies
Promoting unity among individuals despite differences, rejecting the idea of enemies.
Stand together, measure up
Encouraging solidarity and mutual evaluation in relationships.
I'll see you if you'll hear me, that's all
Expressing a desire for communication and understanding between the speaker and the other person.
Is it you or me, are we supposed to be
Revisiting the initial question of compatibility and shared identity.
Friends or enemies, doesn't matter what they want us to be
Reiterating indifference to societal expectations regarding the nature of the relationship.
Stuck up in my neck, chocking me to death
Re-emphasizing feelings of suffocation or restriction.
I'll spit you out instead, of letting you tell me what to be
Reinforcing resistance against external influence and a commitment to self-determination.
You be you and I'll be me
Repeating the call for individual authenticity and acceptance.
We're all one, we're not enemies
Reiterating the theme of unity and rejecting the notion of adversaries.
Stand together, measure up
Restating the importance of standing together and evaluating relationships.
I'll see you if you'll hear me, that's all
Reaffirming the desire for mutual understanding and communication.
