The song "Stronger" by Gareth Emery & Louis Vivet tells the story of a person who recognizes their own flaws and shortcomings and is trying to improve themselves for someone they deeply care about. They admit to having had a bad attitude in the past, but they were trying to be better for the person they love. This effort to change helped them stay afloat in their emotional struggles, preventing them from drowning in sadness. However, despite their efforts, they are struggling with empathy and finding it hard to believe in themselves. They feel that no matter what they do, they always end up running back to the person they love, as if they can only be better and stronger for that individual. The song also reflects on the aftermath of a breakup. The person realizes that they might have made promises of better things and never expected their loved one to leave. They understand that time is on their side, and they hope that their loved one can find happiness and breathe easily. The protagonist's loneliness is highlighted, and they express feeling burnt out and slowly learning from the experience of loving the other person in every way. They express the desire to be better and stronger for their loved one. The line "She slowly does it, throws everything away" suggests that their loved one might have distanced themselves or let go of the relationship. The lines "Put out the fire, go easy on my pain" can be interpreted as a request for the loved one to handle the breakup gently and with compassion. Overall, "Stronger" portrays the struggles of self-improvement, the emotional aftermath of a breakup, and the longing to be better for someone special.
