Katy Perry – Part Of Me lyrics

Katy Perry – Part Of Me lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
[Standard version:] 'Cause you chewed me up and spit me out
["Complete Confection" version:] You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones,
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

[Verse 2:]
I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
[Standard version:] 'Cause you ripped me off, your love was cheap
["Complete Confection" version:] You ripped me off, your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
[Standard version:] I fell deep, and you let me down
["Complete Confection" version:] I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones,
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

Now look at me I'm sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again
I'm glowin', oh, whoa
[Standard version:] You can keep the dog from me
["Complete Confection" version:] So you can keep the diamond ring
[Standard version:] I never liked it anyway
["Complete Confection" version:] It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything, yeah, yeah,
Except for me

[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones,
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

[Standard ending:]
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones,
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

["Complete Confection" ending:]
This is the part of me, no
Away from me, no
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me..., no
Throw your sticks and your stones,
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

Someone you really loved has just gone and betrayed you, you feel awful, how have you let yourself fall for this guy and he just turns around and shows his true colours. Well, you want to just get away, forget about him, what he did to you and start over, because the part of you that makes you unique and beautiful is still there, and someone is going to be begging on their knees when you glow and show them what they really missed out on, and you have a new guy, who you didn't think could exist, but he does, hes out there, and hell love that part of you that son of a * couldn't take away! Boom.

The most powerful meaning behind wen she sayz "throw your sticks and your stones... "you can kinda uf relate but it duznt matter if you had a boufriend or girlfriend or friend butt what really matters iz that you stood long enough 2 do nuthin about it and you juss can't take the abuse and bullyment anymore. What she also sayz iz that this has changed her becuz uf it and you can't hurt her anymore! ;*)

Synopsis
as katy perry sits in her car outside of her boyfriend's job, she sees her boyfriend (played by actor and model lucas kerr) interacting flirtatiously with a woman. She confronts him in his office, and they break up. The titular track begins as she drives to a gas station, where she buys a can of tea. After paying for her items, she sees a moto-sticker on a notice board which reads, "all women are created equal, then some become marines". The increasingly emotional perry gathers her possessions from her car trunk, enters a nearby restroom, and begins her change of identity. She cuts her hair(at this point bursting into tears), removes her bracelets, flattens her breasts and changes into a hoodie and jeans.
Perry enlists in the united states marine corps, and after a brief scene of recruit training, reports to the school of infantry for the marine corps' rigorous basic combat instruction course. She reminisces over her experiences with her ex-boyfriend, yet remains spiteful towards him. She then burns a love note and vents her frustration through the marine corps martial arts program. The remainder of the video depicts perry's training, and shows her dancing beneath a large garrison flag. Perry ultimately transforms into a trained warrior, clad in marine pattern (marpat) camouflage utilities, body armor and camouflage face paint.
I love katy perry.

To me this song represents how a person feels about how people react towards them I'm 14 years old and I can say that the meaning for this song for katy perry was really important. There was a very strong reason that katy wrote this song. And I thinks its because katy doesn't know the real way to stop the world from its personal problems but she can try to incurage better in this generation and the next. And that's why I'm singing this song in my school talent show to show affection to not only katy but to people who need help in there life worse then me. That's the meaning of this song to me.

The song is about love and pain, she feels like she was worn out by the man she loves, she feels angry, disrespected, cause she fell deep in love with him and she wants to remind him that there's a part of her that he never left with, that's always gonna be with her, the part that makes her strong. She also feels like she doesn't know who actually empathizes with her pain and she wishes she could do something so as to find out.
Its a beautiful song!
