Did you know?

The song’s lyrics convey a message of perseverance and pride in overcoming challenges.

Lines like “You could never know what it’s like / Your blood like winter freezes just like ice / And there’s a cold lonely light that shines from you / You’ll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use” depict a past struggle where the singer faced harsh conditions and emotional pain.

However, the chorus “But I’m still standing / Yeah, yeah, yeah” and “Don’t you know I’m still standing better than I ever did / Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid” emphasize the singer’s triumph and newfound strength.

The song’s upbeat tempo and celebratory tone further reinforce this interpretation, making it a motivational track that resonates with listeners who have faced and conquered their own difficulties.
