I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)

Song: I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)

Artist: John Rzeznik, Treasure Planet

 

I know I've already posted this song but that was during my Thankful For Music challenge I did last November and I just need to post it here again today. I love this song so much. The movie is great too, but that's not what I want to talk about. I've been listening to/singing/thinking about this song a lot lately. As my life has been falling apart and I've been feeling more down and depressed and lonelier than ever, this song brings me great comfort. I have related to the message of this song for years. It's definitely one of those songs I will never grow tired of. I will be listening to it forever. It's for sure one of my most favorite songs ever. I feel like no one understands me. I know I've said this a lot lately, but it's the truth. I don't relate to anyone around me and they don't relate to me. They don't know how I feel. And sometimes it seems like they don't care. No one seems to even want to take the time to talk to me and to try to understand why I'm feeling the way I'm feeling, where I'm coming for. I just feel like I'm a problem people have to put up with. I feel alone. And sometimes, I just wish I could get away. But, I'm still here. 

 

 

I am a question to the world,
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms.
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway…
You don't know me,
And I’ll never be what you want me to be.

And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man..
You can't take me and throw me away.
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own.
They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change?
They’re the ones that stay the same.
They don’t know me,
'Cause I’m not here.

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change?
They’re the ones that stay the same.
They can’t see me,
But I’m still here.

They can’t tell me who to be,
‘Cause I’m not what they see.
Yeah, the world is still sleepin’,
While I keep on dreamin’ for me.
And their words are just whispers
And lies that I’ll never believe.

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can they say I never change?
They’re the ones that stay the same.
I’m the one now,
‘Cause I’m still here.

I’m the one,
‘Cause I’m still here.
I’m still here.
I’m still here.
I’m still here.
