Lyrical Analysis of my Song

"Nothing Stopping Me Now"
(feat. Kat Nestel)

Just when I realized
You been shutting me out
I start to reach for the sky
And nothing's falling down

Everybody knows
How the story goes
But fairy tales have been lying to me
Every time I try
You just run and hide
Now I'm finally feeling free

Tell me can you see me now
While I rise above the crowd
Who would of known I'd make it out
Your broken world, no

You thought you tore me down
I'm not giving up, now you know
So tell me can you see me now
Rising above
And nothing's stopping me now
Nothing's stopping me now
Nothing's stopping me

Now I know my feet
They won't fail me now
So thanks for showing me
All that I am about

Everybody knows
How the story goes
But fairy tales have been lying to me
Every time I try
You just run and hide
Now I'm finally feeling free

Tell me can you see me now
While I rise above the crowd
Who would of known I'd make it out
Your broken world, no

You thought you tore me down
I'm not giving up, now you know
So tell me can you see me now
Rising above
And nothing's stopping me now
Nothing's stopping me now
So can you see me now
Can you see me now

Tell me can you see me now
While I rise above the crowd
Who would of known I'd make it out
Your broken world, no

You thought you tore me down
I'm not giving up, now you know
So tell me can you see me now
Rising above
And nothing's stopping me now

The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has broken up with her significant other and now feels free.

There are strong links to fairy tales in the line "But fairy tales have been lying to me". suggesting that there is no such thing as a perfect reationship. It casts out the ideas of good and bad and insead embraces a more postmodern aproach to life, where there are positives and neatives in everything.

The song also has clear views on female empowerment, and encourages listeners to "rise above the crowd". This is a modern and sophisticated theme that will resonate with a higher class audience. The theme of empowerment is continued in the line "Nothings stopping me now". Suggesting that women are very strong and unstoppable.
